Anyway most books you read ARE NOT FACT CHECKED. Publishers will not pay for fact checkers. An author must take it upon themselves and pay out of pocket.
Which is why folks like @annaleen.bsky.social and @swordsjew.bsky.social who have hired me to fact check their books should be celebrated.

Given the ongoing harm, court requires only a $100 nominal bond and will not stay the order pending appeal.
![VI. REQUEST FOR BOND AND FOR A STAY
Defendants request an administrative stay for seven days “to allow the United States to
seek an emergency, expedited stay from the court of appeals if an appeal is authorized.” (Dkt.
No. 61 at 54.) They also seek to have the Court impose a bond under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c). (Id.)
In granting relief under Rule 65, “[t]he court has discretion to dispense with the security
requirement, or to request mere nominal security, where requiring security would effectively
deny access to judicial review.” Cal. ex rel. Van De Kamp v. Tahoe Reg’l Plan. Agency, 766
F.2d 1319, 1325 (9th Cir. 1985). As result of Defendants’ actions, Plaintiffs’ members in many
instances have been unable to continue their research, or to pay themselves, their staff, and
graduate students, and are laying some of them off. Based on this record, the Court finds that
requiring a bond would stifle Plaintiffs’ enforcement of their rights as described above. Because
this litigation is brought to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with federal law,
Plaintiffs shall be required to pay a nominal bond of $100.
Defendants’ request for a stay pending appeal, or for seven days pending a motion to the
court of appeals for a stay, is also denied. A stay is not appropriate because Plaintiffs are likely
to succeed on the merits of their First Amendment, Tenth Amendment, and APA claims. See
Manrique v. Kolc, 65 F.4th 1037, 1040 (9th Cir. 2023) (providing that one of the primary factors
considered for whether a stay should be issued is whether the applicant for the stay has “made a
strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits”) (quoting Nken, 556 U.S. at 434); see
also Washington v. Trump, No. 25-807, 2025 WL 553485, at *3 (9th Cir. Feb. 19, 2025)
(Forrest, J., concurring). Moreover, Defendants have not carried their burden of showing that
they are likely to face “irreparable injury . . . during the period before the appeal is decided.” See](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreibm3qbjms7a6yu6xetp425odlny2ehkom2mrlptf5nqivo5k3pbpa@jpeg)
