๐จ โWeโre going to execute you after the revolution.โ
Thatโs Christopher Winston, a self-described Maoist advocating revolutionary violence. DSAโs National Political Committee voted 15โ10 to keep him on its โRed Rabbitsโ security commission.
My latest for @CityJournal.
BREAKING:
๐ช๐ธ Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil unions estimate around 12,000 North Africans crossing per hour, with up to 80,000 possibly already across.
A Guardia Civil spokesperson accused the Moroccan government of a proxy attack on Spain.
Sรกnchezโs government still denies any wrongdoing and acts as if it poses no threat to national security.
365-day rolling total murders drops to 39 for the first time since September 2020. The difference being in 2020 murders were in the midst of a dramatic increase from a low of 20 to a high of 101 whereas now they are in a slower fitful decline.
It ainโt all bad: Bernie Sznders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, Chris Van Hollen, Jeff Merkley, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Chris Murphy, Tina Smith, Mazie Hirono, Ron Wyden, and Chuck Schumer would lose their jobs.

What a day for Portland, Oregon! More than 62,000 signatures gathered in just a few short weeks. Today, those petitions were officially delivered for verification.
If 41,000 signatures are verified, Portlanders will have the opportunity this November to vote on minimum police staffing, funded by a portion of surplus from the Portland Clean Energy Fund revenue.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make this happen!
@hoifob21@PDXReal1 Offer Moda to Dundonโs group for $1 and let THEM do the renovation. If it's such a moneymaker, they'll jump on the chance. If they don't go for it, let them walk.
A sudden turn for the worse or random variation?
Seven murders in 26 days (including a suspicious death on 6/16/26).
365-day rolling total murders/homicides hits 47/49, up from 40/43 only 27 days ago.
Outstanding start to 2026โonly 1 murder in first 70 days. By this time in 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 there were 1, 20, 24, 10, 17, & 7 murders respectively. Is crime heading back to the good old days prior to riots & COVID? 365-day rolling totals are on their way down again:
