There are towns all over this country that are overpoliced, paid by our taxes.
Heed the words below b/c those police may obey.
It is also concerning if your county execs have invested in private prisons like we have in New Jersey.
Prison or death. It's all about control.

Chapter 7 “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social pertains to those who carry weapons as part of their daily job. More people were killed under the Nazi’s by police than in the camps. Police were the ones who shot thousands in open pits near Kyiv and Riga. They opened fire on all; kids, men, women.

In a year-end report ostensibly devoted to identifying “threats to judicial independence,” Chief Justice Roberts missed perhaps the biggest one—the erosion of public faith in the courts in general, and #SCOTUS, in particular.

Bonus 115: The Chief Justice's Tone-Deaf Year-End Report
There's a rich (and ongoing) debate over the relationship between public criticism of the courts and judicial independence. Chief Justice Roberts's annual missive missed just about all of the nuance.

There is no grey area or subterfuge anymore. The Republicans are literally led by a rapist felon who is hiring pedophiles, Neo-Nazis, foreign spies and worse to government.
This is fact. It is not up for debate. If you are stupid enough to side with them, I have no qualms saying I hope you burn.

Just a note, it is impossible to be "polarized" when the other side is feverishly working to destroy everything and everyone to squeeze out all possible profit.
This is not a both sides issue. If you think it is, you are clinically insane.

Every now and then I do a selective rewatch of The West Wing. Today included "Short List" - the episode where the Justice Mendoza (Edward Olmos) arc starts.
I literally got goosebumps. First airing in Nov'99, it's as timely today as it was 25 years ago.
