These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

It's always funny when a movement spends years trying to hide the ball on their motivations & then Trump just says the quiet part out loud. See also: anti-choicers.
Trump: If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

With three weeks left in the year, Oakland is on track to have among the lowest, if not the lowest, violent crime rate in decades, while it had one of the fewest number of officers in OPD's history.

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

This is more what I thought watching the extremely patronizing clown show from FIFA yesterday—that it was lowkey insulting *to him.* Not that *I* was humiliated by it, per se, but that a Trump whose brain was less mush would be able to grasp how intentionally condescending its meant to be to him.
Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

This is one of the most important exposés published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.

what i think is especially interesting is how much YIMBYism has broken with this entire paradigm. we don't pretend to be the authentic voice of the people. but we also haven't retreated into the dreamland of "mass proletarian mobilization!!" instead we focused on winning the war of ideas directly

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
I likely die comically only because of the rescue attempt.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.
However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
