When Arkansas inevitably joins the whole state is going to be maroon.

Truth!🔥

Do the state whose two big cities are in the top ten in murder rate, and has a republican supermajority (Missouri)

I think I figured it out. So this whole thing isn’t really about crime, is it?

Exactly. This is why it is so misleading to talk of "red states." Ohio has lots of blue voters, and Cleveland is reliably blue.

Yah and neither was West Virginia of course.

Toledo is sorry about an utterly horrific weekend this summer.

Maybe they are sending them to DC so they can first learn how to fight crime in a less crime environment, then ease into the more dangerous crime environments back home.

So what you're saying is we need to send the troops there next?

📌

A little misleading. In my native state of SC most of those dots are small towns, not cities; only three (Myrtle Beach, Sumter, and Spartanburg) are sizable, and Myrtle's rate is affected by massive tourism. Most major cities have lower rates than DC.

From projection to diversion from the home front

Bravo!

Go to the county level and watch that map fill up with horrifically crime ridden counties in states like Alabama. With a crime rate of 102/1000, Bessemer has the highest crime rates in America. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 10.

Here’s the gag noticed he hasn’t said anything about Georgia or Atlanta even though during the elections he had a huge bone to pick with us. They’re trying not to scare away the FIFA money because what Spanish-speaking person wants to come to this country right now ? 🥴💀

Tornado season isn't exactly over in Ohio, either. But Whistling-Dentures DeWine will do anything to please his lord and master.

Trump’s next move will be to fire everyone who tracks crime statistics.

Great work, man. 👊🏼

Every American other than those that worship the orange imbecile, knew that sending the Guard was total bullshit when he first did it in L.A.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe there was a time when troops from the deep south were sent to D.C. and were met with some resistance.

Once again, I am ashamed to be a South Carolinian.

Chutzpah is one way to put it! New Orleanian here. In peak hurricane season.

Another few reasons why I love my (geographically) small blue state so much!!! 💙🌊💪🏽🫶🏽

Oh Philip Bump—I do miss your columns! You have a knack for asking the right—the telling—questions. A lot of bad questions, bad comparisons and casual uses of data have been sparked by Trump’s assault on the state, democracy and the international order. Keep giving us the alternative!

Toledo looks particularly wicked

While I didn't see crime, I did see unhoused people on the streets. That is definitely still a problem. Someone might try giving them houses.

The explanation this gentleman provides basically nails the Guardians of Pedophilia tactic. bsky.app/profile/koja...

MAGA Taliban always be projecting...

I want the map drawn with a sharpie. This one’s clearly a fake.

Their feelings don't care about facts.

Also, USA Facts has the data posted on murder rates by countries/populations and DC is not on top. But when a former reality game show host needs attention and distractions this is what we pay for.

People from other parts of SC are legit afraid of Columbia and… it’s very nice? I love living here. Tells you how easy it would be to demonize a city even further away from the county they rarely leave.

This Crimes coming Down, No Problem message will not turn out well. Too many ppl have had their lives turned upside down by crime already.

Are you going to fill the niche Nate Silver left open?

Ohio: CONTACT Gov DeWine over Natl Guard. Leave a message no matter what if mailbox is full. — Office: Main: 614-466-3555 2nd: 614-644-4357 Dayton: 937-285-6185 Email: governor.ohio.gov/contact/cont... List of DeWine’s top staffers you can leave a message with: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

uh, that’s exactly the point he’s illustrating?

Fair enough, but optics is important and you tweet (unlike the article) engages the crime meme that Republicans want you to focus on rather than the creeping fascism, which is what they’re really up to.

Wasn’t made with the tweet. Perhaps you missed mine.

Thanks for this. Had to share

Yup. New Orleanian here sweating it out during peak hurricane season while idiot governor Landry has sent NG members to DC—which doesn’t seem to suffer from hurricane threats or our high crime rates. Just flying sandwiches. And assorted wannabe dictator bullshit. Yeah, that.

If this isn’t it, how will we know when a civil war starts?

I just heard its 6 states-Tennessee joined tTrump’s New Confederacy

Hey, can we get a list of these cities ?

Important data for my stream railing against the regime on DC, thank you!

Ok, sure, but does the DC Press Corps that is spectacularly failing to call out fascism live and work in any of those cities?

I don't really think this kind of thing is helpful. The answer it suggests is "so they should increase policing in urban areas in their own states". The point is that the action itself is bad!

That big blob up in the NW corner of Louisiana is Shreveport — Speaker Mike Johnson’s district.

Fucking Ohio. Get me back to CA!

Honestly didn't expect South Carolina to be worse than Mississippi. Louisiana tracks though.

I don’t think this point is relevant. Yes, they’re hypocrites. But GOP in all of those states would love to have a militarized presence in their own “undesirable” neighborhoods. They are chomping at the bit to make that possible. This effort in DC just paves the way for them.

Thanks for the work

just to remind

I turned on my colorblind compatibility, in case anyone else is wondering what is going on here.

📌

St. Louis is a great place to get shot in the face.

Show TN too, as of course Bill Lee will help. 😡

64 cities across five states with worse crime rates than DC

"Goddamn this Bump guy!!"

If the real facts mattered in America, we would not be in this existential mess.

Focus on Epstein. Stop playing their game. DC is a distraction. It's EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN.

Good job!!! Good data!

This might not be about crime….

We’re gonna need a bigger boat, I mean map.

Don’t use numbers it confuses and triggers the hate of the MAGA cult.

And how much are those states wasting with this? Money they could have spent, I don't know, HELPING their citizens?

A lot of this crap makes me think of the civil war. Looks like the rebirth of the confederacy in some ways.🤷‍♀️

i recently posted some similar info comparing dc to cleveland for homicides

Halloween in DC is going to be sarcastic and lack creativity

DC area has the highest rate of PhDs per capita in the country and that’s counting a whole lot of transient Neanderthal GOP Congress folks. We don’t need any lectures from dolts.

Because they are. Mississippi?! Seriously?!? I need to explain to you why Mississippi is a “Developing Country”? GTFOH

Yea but….they can’t take care of their own, NOW WHAT???🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
