It contextualizes what the conservative movement really is and why this moment is so utterly dangerous.
Its conclusion that we will have to unmake the conservative power structure is absolute truth

I hate how the NY times frames everything as a "crack down". Stop using that! It is unserious and does nothing to describe what is actually happening - unconstitutional actions and crimes by the federal government. Hacks.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

She championed a policy rolled out last year — when you’re so much as charged (not convicted) of a drug offense, a judge can ban you from setting foot in select areas, like downtown.
She’s also up for reelection in a few weeks:
