Federal government used to mean services—education, safety, opportunity.

Now it means enforcement.

We’re watching entire departments retooled to serve a political agenda. Refugee programs shut down. Public health teams sidelined. Agricultural protections dismantled. All while ICE expands, and the DOJ reclassifies dissent as disloyalty.

The government no longer offers support. It demands submission. What was once a safety net is now a dragnet.

And in this equation, the people are not citizens. They’re resources.
