Just 230 homicides in the City of Los Angeles last year, down from 1,028 in 1980, when I began investigating the LAPD for the LA Times.
What makes the 78% decline even more remarkable is the city population grew by a third to nearly 4 million between those years.
The homicide rate declined 83%.

This is on the White House website of the so-called “party of law and order.” Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She died trying to kill cops and elected officials. She had a knife.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.
