I've warned several times that the justice system in the USA is increasingly being turned against ordinary citizens like you and I.

Building A Legacy
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
If Joe Biden leaves a legacy, it will take a lot of hard work. Some presidents have done it. Others have tried and failed. E.J. Dionne writes: Franklin Roosevelt did it. Ronald Reagan did it. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, gifted politicians in their different ways, plausibly hoped they could create coalitions that would outlast them. The achievement eluded both. A new report by Aliza Astrow points to what Biden will have to do: The report is both a warning and a promise. As long as Democrats stay weak among non-college-educated voters, she argues, they will have trouble holdin...
