I think you're on to something Dave ! Like "Hey don't be a Dokoupil"
Can we make "Dokoupil" a word like "Hey don't be a dokoupil just because you are meeting JD Vance." Dokoupil = a sniveling, fascist-bootlicker in way over his skis. I'm work-shopping it but I think "dokoupil" could be a perfectly cromulent word.

NEW: The Bureau of Prisons won't explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a cushy facility after she met with Deputy AG Todd Blanche. So we filed a FOIA request for documents on this—and now we're suing (thanks to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press—@rcfp.org).

Barnstaple in England ? (Devon)
not a big family genealogy person but in the course of book research dipped in and anyway today I’m thinking about the guy on my grandmother’s side who was a sheriff of some kind in Barnstable in the early 1700s and my grandfather’s dad arriving in New York from Italy in 1904 to live in Brighton

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone.
And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

The "training " and "reform" are ridiculous - does the Democratic leadership really think that we buy any of this? Are they this isolated from reality? ( I can answer my own question : Yes )
You can't "significantly reform" fascism
Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."
