You're probably aware of @equalityalec.bsky.social's "Copaganda" which covers this kinda bullshit a lot, but if it's not on your radar I'd check out @osamahkhalil.bsky.social's book "A World of Enemies" which has a nice hefty chunk dedicated to how America turned criminals into enemies of the state.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
