Blue dot in a Midwest swamp. I root for the underdog and 70’s music is my favorite decade. I lived my best life avoiding people during Covid.

The DOJ has removed from its website a report showing that right-wing extremists have killed more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group. Deleting the report doesn’t change the facts: claims that left-leaning Americans are more violent aren’t supported by the data.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows
Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.
