The fact that literally zero outlets ever cover crime decline as a story is a huge reason. (And before you yell at me, we do!)
This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.
The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

We know little about new forms of online political spending, such as paid promotion by influencers. As growing numbers of Americans get their news from social media, it’s important to know who is funding influencers’ political messages. bit.ly/3TkrIc3

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Turns out, out-of-towners were left esp. vulnerable, almost by design - county officials avoided some flood alert systems they saw as costing locals $ and only benefitting tourists/"crazy Houstonians."
