As for my position, I've done tentative research on the topic which suggests that the position they *cannot* be reformed is a myth, and one that dissuades people looking to reform from seeking help, so I definitely believe in the possibility of it. I also have a hard and fast anti-corporal punishment position, which is why the shirt was a little shocking to me.

Tl;dr, AIPAC and other powerful Israeli lobbyist groups are spending boatloads of money to unseat progressives in the US. Meanwhile, in Israel, settlements that have long been stalled because of the damage they do to Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem are being approved in the background of everything else happening there, because Israeli settler groups have fully infiltrated the government there.

Tl;dr, SpaceX, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and Amazon, in retaliation for the National Labor Relations Board ruling against them, are pushing lawsuits to try to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional and abolished.
American Supreme Court effectively ends right to mass protest via refusing to hear/ end a 5th circuit ruling. The ruling leaves protest organizers liable to criminal charges if their participants commit a crime. As the last panel points out. It also leaves organizers liable to counter protests if counter protestors commit crimes.
Likewise it also creates the possibility for agent provocateurs and infiltration. But remember, this applies to everyone. I.e. a pro-life or white supremacist rally will also be vulnerable to charges if someone in their protest commits a crime.
As of now, this ruling only applies to areas of jurisdiction under the 5th circuit Court, which is mostly the South
