Several metrics of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Immiseration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Immiseration</span></a> are measurably worse in states with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOPPolicies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GOPPolicies</span></a>. It's because the GOP siphons wealth from the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SafetyNets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SafetyNets</span></a> into the pockets of the Wealthy.

James Benjamin<p>We might not know it if we listen too much to the news stations or certain politicians, or our GOP as a whole, but homicides went down by a lot last year. We may not be quite at prepandemic levels for homicides, but we're nowhere near the bad old days of my young adulthood either. I'll take good news where I can find it. And for now? Fact check alarmist homicide coverage. </p><p><a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/12/28/us-murder-violent-crime-rates-drop" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">axios.com/2023/12/28/us-murder</span><span class="invisible">-violent-crime-rates-drop</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homicide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homicide</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homiciderate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homiciderate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/crimerate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crimerate</span></a></p>
beSpacific<p>In 2020, the national <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/homiciderate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homiciderate</span></a> increased by 30%. That is the largest single-year increase in over a century. However, not all types of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/homicide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homicide</span></a> grew at the same rate. Between 2019 and 2021, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/firearmhomicide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firearmhomicide</span></a> rates increased 44%, from 4.6 victims per 100,000 people in 2019 to 6.7 victims per 100,000 people in 2021. Alternatively, homicides committed by cutting, stabbing injuries or suffocation, the next most common methods of killing decreased 17% &amp; 33%, respectively. <a href="https://usafacts.org/data-projects/firearms-homicides" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">usafacts.org/data-projects/fir</span><span class="invisible">earms-homicides</span></a></p>
