America Under Siege: We Reserve the Right to Kill You

- Written by: Robert Jennings, InnerSelf.com
When an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, the Department of Justice had exactly one job: investigate whether a federal officer violated someone's constitutional rights. They chose silence instead. Not confusion. Not delay. Silence. That silence isn't bureaucratic incompetence—it's institutional abandonment of the one mechanism designed to prevent state violence from becoming state policy. History has seen this movie before, and it doesn't end with apologies.

You slam your thumb in the car door and before your brain even registers what happened, the word is out. Sharp, loud, oddly satisfying. You weren't planning to swear. You weren't even thinking about it. But there it was, erupting from some place deeper than conscious choice. Most of us were taught that swearing is crude, immature, a sign of poor vocabulary or worse character.
How The Reagan Administration Broke American Capitalism

What's happening to independent publishers didn't start with Google. It didn't start with algorithms or AI or any particular piece of technology. It started in the 1980s when two deliberate policy changes rewired how American corporations operate. One killed the rules that kept monopolies from forming. The other changed how executives get paid. Together, they turned extraction into the most profitable corporate strategy in nearly every industry. Understanding this explains why airlines, banks, food companies, and tech platforms all consolidated the same way—and why forty years of both parties did nothing to stop it.
Why Everything Feels Broken And Why Understanding Matters

Something feels off. Not catastrophically wrong—just persistently, exhaustingly not right. You work harder but get less. You follow the rules but fall further behind. You adapt and optimize and hustle, and the gap between effort and security just keeps widening. You're not imagining it. And it's not your fault.
