The only world fascists envision is one of metal beams that protects their concrete prisons. These trees did more for our world than any one of these fuckass brownshirts ever could.

U.S. police kill civilians at a rate nearly incomparable to other wealthy democracies. It's not just "a few bad apples."

Graph showing that U.S. police kill civilians at a much higher rate (33.5 per 10 million) than Canada (9.8), Australia (8.5), The Netherlands (2.3), New Zealand (2.0), Germany (1.3), England & Wales (0.5), Japan (0.2), Iceland(0.0), and Norway (0.0).

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT. Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them. We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person. Well here we are.
