The only good news of 2025: THEY'VE CAUGHT SCRIM!💜 #nola

Happy birthday, Scott!

Trump's fake crime wave On January 19, during a rally held in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump claimed that “crime has gone through the roof” and that it “was up like 40%.” He claimed that violent crime is especially...

1. Trump's immigration crackdown is premised on the idea that the US is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime

According to Trump the crime wave is especially severe in cities

THIS IS A LIE

New data shows crime is LOWER than when Trump left office in 2020, and below pre-pandemic levels

Thank you for this!

And I know I'm stating the obvious. But I've been so crushed since Kamala lost and frozen, really, unable to speak my mind on any platform about it.

It's been only 3 full days since— let's just call it Monday, and I'm trying not to lose all hope for the future. But it's really fucking hard. The bullying of a compassionate religious leader, the tantrums and threatening of shutting down a news channel with opposing views... smells like fascism.

Just a little blizzard today in NOLA…

It's rare... very rare! I mean it gets cold here but usually above freezing. The difficult thing is that these old homes are energy inefficient so walking on the floors barefoot is insane. And drafts everywhere.

That starting out on a new social media platform feeling... feels like the aughts to me.

TFW you have a home 125+ yrs old and temps drop below freezing. And ❄️?! Stay magical #NOLA⚜️💜💚💛⚜️

Sounds like a good plan. The shitty irony of what's going on today... on this day. Somehow makes it all worse.
