The Deadliest Catch | Michael Fanone & Maya May Tell the Story of the Fisherman Caught in Hegseth's Trap

A look at how extrajudicial violence in the Caribbean is lowering the threshold for normalized lawlessness here at home.

Maya and Michael frame a world where force has replaced process, and that shift exposes how fragile the rule of law becomes once evidence is optional.

This logic hollows out democracy by teaching institutions that outcomes matter more than methods. Once that lesson takes hold, violence stops being exceptional and starts becoming routine.
