Terrific post Mark. A piercing assessment of this calamitous moment.
"The bullets may have been fired in Minneapolis, but they were loaded in the halls of the Senate. This is what happens when guardrails are not merely ignored, but dismantled by those who claim to protect them."
Watching from outside the US it already feels too late. If lawmakers (an ironically poor term for your political representatives) give up their responsibilities to the law and constitution there is no way back. I keep seeing people saying the US is not a democracy but a republic. It appears they are right.
If Gnome and the Department of Homeland Security 4 War’s explanation for why a 37-year-old civilian was unethically executed sounds a bit like monetarily rewarding the arsonist who put out the forrest fire they started, you understand the assignment.

Brilliant, and terrifying.

If it doesn’t?
Then you are part of the problem.
