This isn't a 'crime crackdown' this is a rogue president illegally seizing control of a city.

No shyt but when it’s framed as a crime issue you won’t see much pushback from the public because addressing crime is bipartisan

probably, but it's sad that Dems' perceived weakness on crime lets republicans control the narrative here

the average voter/taxpayer is not gonna be up in arms about trump announcing more police presence to stop violent crime and car theft in cities. we all know this is true

That's because people like you enjoy pushing that narrative demonizing minorities is popular

Objectively though, crime at DC is at a low - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-national-guard-washington-1.7605793

According to D.C. Police figures, violent crime is down some 26 per cent year-to-date compared to the same time period in 2024 — with particularly steep declines reported in sexual abuse, robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.

The statistics reveal there have been about 1,600 violent incidents so far this year, compared to the 2,140 reported by this date in 2024 in a city with roughly 700,000 people.

And 2024 wasn't a particularly bad year.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C. has reported violent crime in the district hit a 30-year low in 2024, falling some 35 per cent compared to 2023, after local police targeted criminal "crews" who are operating in certain pockets of the city.

I know facts don't matter to right wingers but still.

cities have been underreporting crime since covid everyone knows this. here's "right wing" NBC;



you goofy idealists are not gonna win this one. if trump announced he was bringing in more police to vegas tomorrow: no one would care. the perception on the ground is that crime/homeless are worse, crimes go unreported to an overburdened Metro, and most taxpayers/voters would welcome it. period

Spotless streets: The cleanest cities in the world and how they do it - Brushtec

In this article, we will take a closer look at three cities that have achieved high levels of cleanliness, but have adopted different approaches to getting there.

Kigali, Rwanda​

While Calgary and Singapore are both cities that have access to large annual budgets for the upkeep of their streets, the capital of Rwanda, Kigali, has to make do with much more limited spending. Both Canada and Singapore are in the top 40 nations in GDP, according to the World Monetary Fund, whereas Rwanda ranks in 139th place with a figure that is only a fraction of both of these nations. However, the capital city has become renowned for its high standards of cleanliness, earning itself the affectionate title of the ‘cleanest city in Africa’. So how do they do it?

Compared to the other two cities in this article, Kigali is by no means a pretty picture architecturally speaking, with plain-looking concrete buildings making up a large part of the cityscape. Look closer, though, and you will see pristine lawns, clear pavements, and roads that are in excellent shape, considering the climate in a country located only 2° of latitude south of the equator. The secret behind this high level of maintenance is a principle that is encoded into the mindset of every Rwandan: umuganda.

The concept of umuganda is part of the identity of the people of Rwanda. It translates roughly as ‘coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome’, referring to a habit that Rwandans have of clubbing together when there is a time of hardship or a problem that needs solving. The idea can be traced back to before the country became a colony of Belgium, but it came to the knowledge of Western visitors in the 19th century, when it was noted that people were expected to put in two days of community work for their leader. The Belgians seized upon this idea and used it to encourage people to take more civic responsibility.

Unfortunately, the message behind umuganda was distorted by the rulers behind the tragic genocide of 1994, who warped it for their own violent purposes. It wasn’t until 2000 that the country’s new president, Paul Kagame, re-introduced a more traditional version of the concept in an effort to clean up the broken country and to foster an atmosphere of healing and community spirit. Under his leadership, umuganda was made official as a nationwide programme, where on the last Saturday of each month, the country grinds to a halt for three hours as citizens come together to tidy up their villages, towns, and cities. This Saturday is known as ‘umunsi w’umuganda’, which translates as ‘contribution made by the community’, and every able-bodied adult between the ages of 18 and 65 is required to join in with the upkeep. Between 2007 and 2009, an act was passed that saw umuganda become institutionalised and protected by law.

One of the great benefits of having such a culture is that, while the focus is on cleaning up, it also teaches a valuable lesson about causing a mess in the first place. After all, citizens are much less likely to make a mess if they know they will only have to deal with it later. This approach contrasts with that of Singapore — umuganda is something that is entrenched in the national psyche that many citizens believe in, rather than a law that is just introduced and enforced by the government. Although most approaches are very effective, Rwanda’s system does not need to be controlled by many paid officers, and, as a result, has a much lower cost to the nation. Rwanda takes this cultural mindset very seriously, shown in the blanket participation of all of its citizens. Even government officials and President Kagame himself can often be seen doing their bit to clean up Kilgali.

It isn’t just the umuganda programme that is making waves in Kilgali, either. The mayor of the city has decided that more effort needs to go into educating the young about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, and now the school system is using awareness lessons to focus the young minds of the capital on a future free of dirt and disease. This learning may well be the masterstroke that ensures that the next generation of Rwandans have as much pride and respect for their living environment as the current. There are also educational classes available to older citizens in local community centres. As part of this grassroots scheme, households are encouraged to equip their properties with waste disposal and hygiene facilities, and groups often come together to build larger communal facilities too.

Kilgali also has its eyes on building a sustainable future, supported by the government’s investment in more public waste bins around the city and the continued ban on the use of plastic bags in the country as a whole. They have also launched Rwanda Vision 2020, which is an ambitious plan to help the country modernise with expansion of an improved infrastructure, as well as the improved public services, such as clean water, effective sanitation, and more efficient energy and transportation. They want to do this without compromising the sustainable stance that has benefitted them so far, with plans to expand for a growing population while preserving the lush greenery of the city’s surrounding area. With aspirations like these, you wouldn’t bet against ‘the cleanest city in Africa’ joining Calgary and Singapore on the accolades list in the future.

On the last Saturday of each month, everyone stops what they’re doing and works together to improve their communities. It’s called Umuganda.
Umuganda literally means “coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome”. This practice that has long existed in Rwandan culture but has only recently become mandatory. In earlier days, in the villages, all inhabitants would come together to help a fellow villager build his home – a community initiative to bring people closer together.

You really think homeless people want a job

I was homeless at 18, lived in my car and had 2 jobs for a while...

Would get harassed by cops for pulling my car into an empty lot to sleep at night, rental places wouldn't rent to me without a cosigner which I didn't have

Not all homeless are drug using degenerates

americans are too selfish and lazy for that to catch on over here

@CrimsonTider is an accurate representation of American political education. Buddy is a true right-winger, but thinks he isn't because voting Democrat is not, in his mind. Even though if you break down what he wants and believes, it's all to the right of center, and in a lot of cases, far to the right. He doesn't have any political education except from what he sees on the media, which is designed to give him the perspective of the right wing.

He's also a very lazy thinker and has zero intellectual curiosity.

a better policy would be using the DOE to incentive schools nationwide to adopt cleaning practices and policy that japan is known for. kids clean up after themselves in schools and clean the schools. that seems to translate to better sanitary habits in adulthood.

Police have been hitting people for trying to talk or assert their rights.

It’s telling that the president is under the impression cops are acting like palace guards while the citizenry is assaulting them.

These are the lies that need to be addressed in the moment.
