Baltimore just recorded its lowest homicide rate in over a decade—a milestone that marks a turning point for a city long defined by violence. With fewer than 265 homicides in 2023, the drop reflects the impact of community-based strategies, smarter policing, and a growing commitment to public safety. While challenges remain, this shift signals that a new narrative for Baltimore is not only possible—it’s already being written. Follow @BlackFolksRock, For More Content Like This!

Violence, who's who.Conclusion: Which Party's Rhetoric Promotes Violence Most?Based on empirical data, Republican rhetoric promotes violence the most in the current U.S. context. It is more pervasive among elites, amplified by aligned media, and correlated with higher rates of lethal attacks (e.g., mass shootings, insurrections). This isn't to absolve Democrats—fringe left rhetoric contributes to unrest—but the asymmetry is clear: Right-wing language has spilled into more widespread, deadly actions, per sources like the Journal of Democracy and Greater Good Science Center.To mitigate: Cross-party pacts against dehumanizing speech (as Carnegie recommends) and media accountability could help. Rhetoric alone doesn't "cause" violence, but it primes unstable actors—reducing it starts with leaders modeling restraint.
