The crime rate is actually falling.

Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.

But Donald Trump is doing his best to bring the crime rate back up by inciting violence.

Trump warns of ‘bedlam,’ declines to rule out violence after court hearing

If anybody else acted like Trump in a courtroom, they'd be thrown in jail for contempt of court. The sooner we see him in a matching orange jump suit, the better.

Support law and order – lock him up!

It's unfathomable, even more so when you realize this isn't the first time Israel has done this. She was a baby. The men were so obviously red crescent medics, and still, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.

It wasn't a misfired bomb. It was guns. They knew what they were targeting.

Anyone who defends this, for whatever religion you believe in, even if you believe in nothing at all, I can only hope the afterlife brings you your deserved suffering on a platter. You're disgusting, vile creatures, who must've snuck onto the Earth because there is no way in nature that you are human. Die.

نَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَ��جِعُونَ

Save the children of Palestine. Protect the medics. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Rigged Debate: How the Media and Elites are Steering the Election—and Selling Out America

The debate last night was a glaring example of biased moderation. Throughout the event, it was clear that Kamala Harris was given a pass on fact-checking, while Donald Trump was heavily scrutinized. Harris often redirected her responses to make everything about Trump, avoiding direct answers to critical questions. This lack of transparency was frustrating to watch, as she failed to provide clear…

💚🏳️‍🌈🇲🇽 This pride month I want us to remember Jesús Ociel

[Plain text: This pride month I want us to remember Jesús Ociel]

Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo (1984-2023) was the very first non-binary person in Latin America to become an electoral magistrate, being a member of the Electoral Tribunal of Aguascalientes in Mexico since October 2022. They also received the first birth certificate to have the sex registered as Non-Binary, a big achievement in the recognition of Non-Binary people.

Amongst other things, they defended trans youth, gay marriage, the fair hiring of LGBTQ+ people in the INE and overall pushed for a public acceptance and the stop of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. Jesús was known for going to work with high heels, makeup and their iconic fan with the rainbow flag, often carrying the non-binary flag too, and they fought to give visibility to non-binary people. They won the hearts of thousands.

They are considered a very important figure for the LGBTQ+ movement, specially in Latin America, as they fought very hard to defend the rights of it, both socially and politically.

They were found dead with their partner, Dorian Daniel Herrera, in the 13th of November of 2023 in Aguascalientes, in their home. The prosecutor’s office affirms it was due to a fight the two of them had, but many say it was a hate crime; the murder of activists are not too uncommon in Mexico, and even more considering their gender identity and sexuality. The ‘crime of passion’ judgement is also often put when the death of an LGBTQ+ person happens.

Either way, their death has sparked movements to punish hate crimes, and their figure remains as a symbol of hope for a better future. Mexico has a long way to go for LGBTQ acceptance, but their actions have pushed towards that goal and their memory continues to push forward. I recommend you investigate further about them if you have the time.

And in your fight for LGBTQ+ rights and your celebrations this pride month, please do not forget about Jesús Ociel.

“We are, we exist, we resist and we go for the spaces that by right correspond us and that historically have been denied to us.”

- Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo

Descanse en paz, magistrade 💚 acá a usted no se le olvida

Fox News wants its viewers to get the impression that America is a crime ridden hellhole. That's one way to distract attention from the fact that their preferred presidential candidate is a convicted felon who is awaiting sentencing.

Fox News has not mentioned on air new data released on Friday showing that violent crime dropped sharply in major cities over the first half of 2024, even as it devoted more than 4.5 hours of coverage to violent crime during that period. Much of Fox’s crime coverage during this period was reporting on individual anecdotes featuring alleged migrant offenders.  The network remains dedicated to its bogus strategy of trying to boost former President Donald Trump’s campaign by blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for a purported surge of violent “migrant crime,” undeterred by the fact that violent crime has plummeted from the heights it reached during Trump’s presidency or that studies show immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans . The Major Cities Chiefs Association released a report on August 8 showing “a sharp drop in violent crime in the first half of the year” compared to the same period in 2023, with the decline reaching “more than 25% in some communities” according to an Axios analysis. MCCA found  violent crime dropped in 54 of the 69 cities it reviewed and a fall in homicides of “more than 17%,” Axios reported. The results are consistent with other data showing that violent crime has plummeted since its recent peak in 2020.

Perhaps Fox News should consider adopting this slogan: We won't confuse you with the facts.

In reality, immigrants commit fewer crimes on average than native-born Americans, there is no data showing a migrant-driven crime spike, and Republicans — at Trump’s demand — killed a bipartisan bill supported by Biden and Harris that would have provided increased resources to build the operational capacity to detain and deport more migrants.

There should be border reform. But Weird Donald ordered his GOP grovelers on Capitol Hill to block a bipartisan reform bill earlier this year.

Trump’s cynical sabotage of immigration reform

Senate Republicans block bipartisan border security bill for a second time

If there is any new migrant crime since spring, Trump and MAGA Republicans are to blame. You won't see Fox News pointing fingers at the responsible culprits in red caps.

Murder, kidnappings, and corruption.

These are just some of the best known crimes of anti-communist Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori, who has just died. A few months ago he had claimed he would run for president again.

this, after biden spewed some degenerate bullshit about palestinians lying about their casualties. and the gaza health ministry released a 212 page report detailing the names, families and ID's of every single martyr, including hundreds of palestinians who could not be identified at the time of death and burial.
