@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.
Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

This is the State Dept's travel advisory for Sudan. These men may not be angels, but they're being dropped in a war torn region only one of then has ties to. It's unlikely the others speak the language.

5/ Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, since the conservative majority on the Supreme Court does not seem to be paying attention. Sometimes the descent, tell us more about a case than the majority opinion. This is one of those times.

4/ It’s easy to say, well, no lawyers were using nationwide injunctions at the time of the founding. Of course, the country looked radically different then. The idea that we rely on “history” to support a certain faction’s views, while ignoring the FF’s most important goal is not what they intended.

2/ I think about this a lot, b/c I’m finishing up a book on democracy (I’d love it if you’d preorder it). If you read the Federalist Papers, which all of the conservative justices-good members of the Federalist Society have, you know the FF spilled a lot of ink debating how best to avoid tyranny.
