Optimism will not fix this. I tried to work in the criminal justice system, thinking I could effect positive change from within. Then I saw there was absolutely no way that could happen. Law enforcement is racist and misogynistic to its core. Only burning it down and starting over *might* work.

The Department of Homeland Security was Orwellian on the day it was created. It was never needed and ought to be abolished.

Trump said he was going to cut federal spending, yet renaming DoD may cost up to $2B. Autocratic movements use spectacle, not strategy, to consolidate control.

Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads,...

For more depression see how the US keeps dropping on all the World Population Index rankings.

Note World Population Index is US, Canadian, and German Libertarian think tanks using data from the CIA.

And they don't have the US in the TOP 50 free countries. I remember when the US was in the top 20.

The last year of the Obama Administration, America ranked 18th worldwide in the Rule of Law Index.

Trump plummeted us to 27th in just 48 months—which takes more doing than you could possibly realize—and we have never recovered.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.
