a recurring thought (s/o to @alixabeth.bsky.social) is how much time this administration is collectively wasting forcing people to do things, taking away things, reversing things, harming people, making people drop what they’re doing to mitigate said harms, etc.

New report from the US GAO on human rights obligations related to arms transfers. Includes recommendations for better incorporating external parties’ allegations of civilian harm into State's response process. More to be done, but this is a (surprising) step forward. www.gao.gov/products/gao...

Big news out of Louisiana! A local judge has overturned the conviction of Chris Duncan, who has spent 26 years on death row claiming his innocence. Tragic context: Roughly 80% of people on Louisiana's death row have been exonerated... and this conviction hinged on a discredited pair of doctors.
