🚨 The “Crime Wave” Is a Lie. What America Really Faces Is a Police Wave. 🧵⬇️ 
1/ The White House and Trump keep pushing a “crime wave” panic. Governors like Youngkin are rolling out new cop pipelines. The media amplifies it nonstop.
But here’s the kicker: the Justice Department just reported crime in DC is at historic lows. justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/vio…

2/ The numbers don’t lie. Reported violent crime has been dropping for decades. Yet the headlines scream the opposite. Why? Because “crime wave” propaganda greases the wheels for bigger police budgets and harsher crackdowns. #PoliceState abcnews.go.com/US/us-stats-sh…
3/ @GovernorVA Youngkin’s new partnership with Liberty University is the perfect example. Not housing programs. Not healthcare pipelines. Not food security initiatives. Just a conveyor belt into the State Police. #SocialismOrBarbarism

4/ Biden, Trump, Youngkin—it doesn’t matter. Both parties sing from the same hymnal: pour money into cops while people starve, bleed, and go homeless. #HousingNotCops
5/ The irony couldn’t be thicker. Crime is at record lows, but empire acts like society’s unraveling. It’s not about safety. It’s about control. #DefundThePolice fbi.gov/news/press-rel…
6/ They’re beefing up repression in advance of the real storm: labor unrest, climate breakdown, collapsing wages, mass disillusion. They know what’s coming. They’re preparing. #CareNotCops aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/30…
7/ You don’t flood the streets with cops to stop muggings. You do it to stop uprisings. To guard capital, not communities. #WorkersNotWarriors
8/ This is the old choice, clearer than ever: socialism or barbarism. The “crime wave” panic is just the mask of barbarism. daily.jstor.org/crime-waves-mo…
9/ Americans don’t need more cops. We need homes, food, and care. Until we demand those, the state will keep building pipelines—not for doctors or teachers, but for enforcers. #ClassWar
💡 Final Thought:
The “crime wave” is a myth. The real crisis is hunger, debt, homelessness, and a dying planet. The state builds armies of cops not to fight crime, but to fight us when we demand something better.

📢 Call to Action:
Don’t buy the fear. Organize where you are—tenant unions, labor unions, mutual aid, political education. Demand budgets for homes, food, and care, not more batons and jails. Every cop pipeline we block is space for solidarity to grow.
