This quote below is from Tom Murton, who was hired in the 1960s to reform Arkansas' worst prison. The governor fired him less than a year later after he started excavating unmarked graves of murdered inmates and inviting national media to write about it. Ended up running a duck farm.

Have to hand it to the Democrats to cave and help Trump politically immediately before releasing a trove of documents making it absolutely clear he is covering up his direct involvement in the most infamous pedophile ring in history. Bravura stuff.

Lot of (powerful!) folks out here treating this political moment as forever more, and not a cobbled-together, rickety ass, *fragile* coalition like any other movement. The emperor gets to appear clothed if *we* make it so!

Well the thing is they are not going to do that because they do not care about the well being of this city but rather yearn to use it as a punching back while encouraging the aesthetics of militarizing liberal/Black urban enclaves and any analysis of this project should start there.
