St Petersburg, Florida, has effectively reformed its thug department to reduce its tendency towards thuggery.
The UK prosecuted nonviolent protesters, who blocked the departure of a deportation flight, as "terrorists", and convicted them.
An appeal has annulled the convictions.

Honduras has imposed an almost impossible barrier in its constitution against legalizing abortion, and it explicitly forbids ever altering that barrier.
Under a democratic government, a valid response to a call for revolution is, "If most citizens agree with you, you will be able to enact the changes you want peacefully — otherwise, you should not be able to impose them."
Measures in a country's constitution to make peaceful democratic change impossible have the effect of invalidating that response, because they eliminate democracy. In my view, the government of Honduras no longer has a moral argument to make against using revolution to undo this change in the constitution.
This is not the only reason to consider the government of Honduras illegitimate. It was set up by a coup and has not been very democratic since.
Practically speaking, if some neighboring country legalizes abortion it will be feasible for Honduran women to go there for an abortion.
