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.
The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.
And they say American fans don't understand the game!

Never felt more Gen X than now as I'm going thru a draft sent to me by a client and adding an extra space after every period.
Full credit to those Fed employees who are sticking it out - you know they'd like to purge them all and put in their own syncophants.
Hardest thing I may have ever done was refrain from writing some thoughts on that memo line.
Standard legend disclaimer, but Lee Dixon at 4:30 a.m. is hard.
Let's fogging go!
Totally!
Oh no
C'mon!
Ok... Went food shopping, did the laundry and cleaned the house. Ready for kick off any time now...
“Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Couldn’t come up with a better epitaph if you tried.
Ole ole!
Welbz!!!

Was the new sponsor chosen really to just send a message to those who lose their minds when the line up comes out?
Here's the lineup.
Deel.
(Nearly) empty living rooms across America while spouses/partners lay abed thinking, "what are they doing up so early?"
Happy 4:00 a.m. & fifth round of the FA Cup everyone. Come on you Gunners!
Thank F*ck Chelsea
Let's go!
“I noticed a 6- or 7-year old child who looked to be really struggling from the tear gas, coughing or possibly throwing up. The child was with their parents, who all seemed to be struggling to catch their breath, but the child was struggling the most. It was such a surreal scene.” Lane T., Portland
“I never heard federal agents tell anyone to leave or disburse. I didn’t see anyone in the crowd do anything violent or dangerous. I didn’t see anything to provoke this kind of response from ICE. Everyone had just been chanting and marching peacefully. It wasn’t until ICE used tear gas that the march stopped. There were thousands of people in the march there to protest and exercise their Constitutional rights.” Adrian R., Happy Valley
Last week, we submitted a court filing with eyewitness testimony detailing an abuse of power by federal agents at the Portland ICE facility targeting children and peaceful crowds. And next week, we’ll be in court.
We’ll continue to fight for Oregonians every day. #orpol

So impressive. That goal to bring it to 1-1 was a dagger, but the fight back was extraordinary. Love it.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.
Now that you mention it, they should be issuing puppies to all of us.
