The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Holy crap! That is long and that’s not even it!

Some of the language used in these summaries is so problematic. They're not “female juveniles“, “female minors“ or “underaged females”. They’re girls. They're children. It’s not “sex”, “sexual intercourse”, a “sexual relationship” or an “in relationship“. It’s rape.

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university’s report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American dream of college.

Should probably add that a good bit of the US public health system at the federal level has military roots (epidemic intelligence service, us amriid, STI surveillance) though organized in relation to bio defense and biological warfare
