Powerful op-ed on the occasion of Veterans Day by my @emorylaw.bsky.social colleague @marknevitt.bsky.social.

Vietnam War still isn’t over for my father and other Agent Orange victims

Veterans Day should be both a time for Americans to honor the sacrifices made on their behalf and to recognize the true cost of war and its effects on service men and women.

In 2022, something shocking happened to the Hektoria Glacier. Over 16 months, it retreated by 25 kilometers, and it lost a whopping 8 kilometers in just two of those months—the fastest glacial retreat in the modern record.

Now, researchers may have identified the worrisome mechanisms behind it.

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City.

Great to see this. Jeanette Rankin warranted a new biography. Loved researching in her papers in Montana. She makes an appearance in my next book.

New blog post--review of a new book out this week: Lorissa Rinehart's biography of Jeannette Rankin. Someone I've always been curious about, and the book is a pleasure to read--there's lots about Progressivism, woman suffrage, and 20th-century American politics.

This march to war is arguably even more illegal and appalling than Trump’s several other marches to war this year, Christ alive zeteo.com/p/team-trump...

Team Trump Is Serious About Launching a ‘Neocon’ War on Venezuela

Trump, the warmonger who once laughably vowed to stop “endless wars,” will not stop waging war on this South American nation. He’s got the target list to prove it.

Here's a brilliant billboard campaign to put important messages before the National Guard troops being deployed to US cities! Another illustration of doing what we can, where we can. A model for us all! taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.
