Good to keep in mind now that it seems we're entering yet another time of progressive voices being framed as "domestic terrorists" with state agencies granted the power to surveil and arrest with impunity.

You're spot on. Unfortunately, I'm sure there's a new version of COINTELPRO already targetting left wing people and groups.

Great read. Your thoughts on RFK???
