NGL, my cold dead heart overflowed when he pulled out the flags of the Americas at a moment when the USG is trying to divide and conquer. 😭 😭 πŸ‘πŸΎ πŸ‘πŸΎ

The Military’s Social Media Purge Nobody can tell what’s covered by the military’s newest standards for online speech. That’s the point.

Normally, military members enjoy broad First Amendment rights to share their views on social media or otherwise, but recent guidance following the Charlie Kirk assassination changes that. @frankrosenblatt.bsky.social examines the consequences of this new guidance and what it means in practice.

Yes please. Thinking of the military law experts who know nothing about genocide but think that any topic relating to armed conflict gives them the final word.

Judicial Review for Migrants Detained on U.S. Military Bases

I used to be a U.S. Army JAG at Fort Bliss, Texas during the war years. Now the base is being transformed into an immigration hub. My take on habeas rights for migrants detained on U.S. military bases:

Opinion | No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza

How about, if you’re not a subject matter expert, particularly on int’l criminal law, you just refrain from opining on this matter in the NYTIMES?

Also, getting wrapped around the axle on the G word is a distraction from the necessity of stopping the slaughter.

Impunity does not change illegality. As some remedy, the world becomes smaller for those who engage in atrocities, including aggression. GWB once cancelled a trip to Switzerland over concern of possible arrest concerning past US torture practices.

Without basis in an AUMF I’d say this is less constitutionally firm than other interventions but agree it’s not β€œclearly unconstitutional.” As for illegality, domestic amnesties shouldn’t change the label.

Saying it’s not illegal is different from whether any court challenge in the U.S. is likely to succeed. That doesn’t make it legal. See Pinochet
