But that seems like the point too…. Nothing about what is doing has to with crime—except emotionally.

A press shut down for telling the absolute truth, wouldn't be there the next week though. So what would you have them do?? Seriously curious here.

Maybe they shouldn't be there next week. They are assisting the fascist takeover which makes them complicit in the violence the govt is perpetrating on Americans.

Look, I understand what you're saying, but in times like these, I think skewed info is probably better than none. That being said, I'm in Canada... your opinion on this matters waaaay more than mine. Good luck to you and yours, sir. I worry for all the good American ppl right now.

Thank you. There's so much excellent independent reporting now. Skewed info got us here so the price for doing it needs to be steep for change to happen. Those of us at the bottom of the totem pole are taking the brunt of it but I'm convinced the privileged who lack empathy need to feel pain

Agreed. We don't have a lot of great independent reporting here. Ours is just as skewed by one side or the other. I tend to read news from the UK and Australia to find less biased reporting.

Omg! I'm so sorry for the pronouns! I'm actually not a bigot! I just have ADHD and didn't notice until now. Forgive me, my dear! I'm really batting low this morning and think I'll get more coffee!

Wait, did I miss something? It's early and I'm on my first cup of coffee. No worries

It’s almost like they’ve been deployed for a different reason…

Falling crime stats is exactly why they are militarizing our cities now...if they wait much longer MAGAts know they'll run out of violent city vids to loop on Fox..more people will see how full of lies they are-trump lives in fear of the MAGAt dam shattering and 💥 he's swinging from his cankles

Why do you think the press does that?

The coward press values access more than the truth. Report hard facts, and the regime will cut off their paper or network.

I get there’s fear but if you’re too afraid to report facts, stop. It’s not reporting, it’s become propaganda

🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

How about they concentrate their efforts where it’s needed!

Oh wait… those are red states.

And referring to it as “crackdowns”.

Please watch and rewatch this movie #DontBeASucker, in the U.S. Archives, produced by US Army to educate us on how the Nazis deceived their country with fear and hate, to allow mass murder and all the other horrors the Nazis unleashed. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Pfollow Pfaff for Pfacts, friends 😎

The press is lazy, complicit and worthess

The press is scared and walking a very difficult line.

Both?

It's infuriating the way the media is covering this. They are pretending that this is an earnest attempt to fight crime.

TACO doesn't care about the data. He fires people responsible for truthful data so he can report distorted data that is always in his favor although all delusional lies. BTW, @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social, my sis & I had a talk on The AA Museum. She is a retired prof librarian broke it down. I cried.

And most of them have Black mayors.

The "crime" is having a majority population that didn't vote for him And, of course, the other "crime" is simply human being non-white or poor.

But crime always goes down when there's a peacetime military presence. Just ask the women of Okinawa. 😞

Maybe try working with a different established paper. Ya know, The Onion is back and doing well. Try them. Most people that read know WashPo and Times are useless now.

You know... the onion is satirical, right? So... if you're smart enough to read the onion and get the point.... You're also smart enough to read between the lines in the regular news and see what they're trying to say w/o getting cancelled.

Everyone missing the plot. Its not about crime. It never was. That’s always a smokescreen. I can’t believe people still take that con artist literally. Democrats are his enemy. He has declared war on us. He plans to break every large blue city, then state. Wake up people.

All blue cities who didn’t vote for him with a large population of people of color.

He wants the military to occupy all these cities when he doesn’t have the manpower. The military only has 2.1 million members and that includes reservists and national guard. The Chicago area alone has almost 9 million people. The odds are with us if we choose to resist.
