Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice’s top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.
Only states’ rights to own slaves.
you’re not wrong but i feel like we’re dumbing it down to keep making it about race and slavery. this is just hierarchy. they want hierarchy because they’re already the ones in control. they want to reinforce that control and they will use it against anyone, regardless of race.
this is about the owners vs. the people. we will need a lot of support to fight this monster.
“States rights” is a well-abused phrase of the Lost Causers. In using it here, both @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I are recognizing that there is a huge amount of overlap between the current crop of shitheads and apologists for the Confederacy.
so what does that mean for solutions?
