What I first said in sarcasm I increasingly think is a real thing to consider:
Move SCOTUS to a strip mall in rural Kansas.
We can’t fire them. Impeachment* is functionally dead. The 18-yr term thing is a fantasy.
But we can kill a lot of their perks.
Bet Kav would retire fast.

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.
Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.
Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.
Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.
This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
