        America has always been a police state. They're just renovating and updating the business model.

        Can't wait for another round of Police Academy and Lethal Weapon movies, paired with recruitment ads.

    damn, that's crazy. this is so out of left field, as we all know looking back at Biden's long career in politics he has never once shown an inclination towards funding the police and giving the police sweeping powers

    Hey, if you're in orgs, now is the time to start organizing against this, it'll be a good way to break the party spell for Berniecrats while introducing them to actual organizing.

    Start with a big rally against it, collect names, and fight against local prison construction or for local defunding or building community patrols or some other maybe winnable issue with those names.
