JAGs set rules of engagement for every aircraft, ship and unit that may face combat. They run the legal leverage to enforce "orders" driven by personal loyalty over duty to Country. They could rubber stamp wrongful "orders" to the military against Americans.

Privilege isn’t about what you have—it’s about the barriers you don’t face. It’s like a bag of stones: you don’t feel it because you’re not the one carrying it. Just because you don’t see discrimination doesn’t mean it’s not crushing someone else under its weight.

Don’t worry. As long as you’re not LGBTQ, an immigrant, a person of color, homeless, an atheist, disabled, female, poor, or… …have freckles… 😳 …you’ll be just fine. Probably.

What a perfect coup over the military.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

“She didn't say that. And if she did, she didn’t mean it. And if she did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.”

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

What he said!

Interferring with the entire military justice system? Firing to head of the Joint Chiefs because they fear people of color? Never forget the GOP Congress that hid under their desks.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Now THAT’s imaginative resistance.

Do we know if the Turks will sue? There’s no FCPA in Turkey and they didn’t get what they bargained for . . .

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

That sounds accurate.

I could understand baby giberish better

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

Early this morning, I offered an amendment to increase funding and prevent any cuts to Alzheimer's research at the NIH. Republicans blocked it. youtube.com/shorts/oSJLA...

First but not last #SCOTUS ruling is in Williams. For a 5-4 majority, Justice Kavanaugh (joined by the Chief and the three Democratic appointees) holds that Alabama state courts *can’t* impose state exhaustion rules on federal § 1983 claims: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Someone should alert Andrew Ferguson at the FTC since he announced he's so very interested in learning about shadowbanning.

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

Even the Red Cross is complicit.. Watch the difference between dealing with bodies of Palestinians and Israelis!

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.

Three online "news" stories published this week that include quotes from me that I didn't say. But I didn't do interviews and get misquoted. And they're not written by actual journalists. My best guess is there are massive amounts of AI slop getting posted as news and now I'm part of it. 😬

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.
