The state doesn‘t need a reason or justification to be violent and abusive. It’s incredibly difficult to convince white folks of a certain class of this fact.

As Trump intended.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

"The turn away from audits of big partnerships is part of the IRS’s broader chaos, which has been accompanied by a slew of tax giveaways to industry in Mr. Trump’s new term."
The IRS is effectively unable to audit private equity, venture capital, and real estate investment firms.
Thousands of workers have been fired from the agency since DOGE and the world's richest man took an ax to it.
Now audits of these giant enterprises have dropped 80 or 90%.

The moral of the story is not that people are always good. It’s that people are pretty ok. And we should expect people to be pretty ok. And make policy as though people are pretty ok. And design systems that encourage & enhance people’s baseline pretty ok-ness.
