On Jan. 7, the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from more than 60 international agreements and organizations, including the UNFCC. @marknevitt.bsky.social and Anissa Patel explore the legality of the president unilaterally terminating a Senate-ratified treaty.
An especially nice holiday video and message done by my colleagues at @emorylaw.bsky.social - well done!

🍂 PSA this Thanksgiving: Gas-powered leaf blowers are environmental disasters. Hour of gas blowing pollutes > a 3,900-mile car trip.

Interested in the ways that the Caribbean (and Pacific) drug strikes are unlawful?

Terrific to team up with @seharrison7.bsky.social on this and thanks to @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and @tessbridgeman.bsky.social for edits!
In light of Trump’s decision to send CA National Guard to Oregon, I’m re-upping this piece from @cnas.bsky.social on the troubling scenario of sending outside NG to another state against its will. While the statute is different, the core concern remains.

“Every morning, landscaping companies deploy these gigantic beasts across the city, strapped to workers’ backs like dystopian World War II-era flamethrowers. The enemies are Atlanta’s leaves, and the blowers are determined to disrupt Zoom calls, infants’ naps, and the tranquility of your home.”
Also check out outstanding work by @bcfinucane.bsky.social and @mikeschmitt.bsky.social and @martylederman.bsky.social on this issue.
In light of the second strike on an alleged drug vessel, I’m reupping this article via @justsecurity.org -

Via @justsecurity.org on the drug vessel strike.
"Labeling these groups . . . does not authorize the use of military force or trigger the military rules that apply in armed conflict."

Interesting footnote in Judge Breyer's decision on use of the military in California - Chief Bovino of Homeland Security criticized Army General Sherman for his reluctance to use the military in MacArthur Park, "questioning Sherman’s loyalty to the country." @brennancenter.org @justsecurity.org
Thanks Lindsay!
Great analysis, as always via @josephanunn.bsky.social @sreynolds.bsky.social of the @brennancenter.org brain trust!
"The Trump administration is pursuing a maximalist legal approach in deploying the military . . . DC may well be a dry run for even greater reliance on the military to be deployed domestically."

In light of WV #National Guard ordered to DC, I'm re-upping this Article via @cnas.bsky.social, calling for reform of a particular statute - 32 USC 502f that is being used as the *likely* legal basis for the deployment.

Join us in beautiful #Atlanta, Georgia!
@lizagoitein.bsky.social @josephanunn.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social and I have been arguing for reforming the #DC #National Guard, which is "outdated and dangerous."
Re-upping two articles via @justsecurity.org:

Good question. Atlanta influences everything.
If EPA repeals its endangerment finding, the basis for industry’s fervent wish to displace state climate litigation is gone. You CANNOT have it both ways. See: journals.library.wustl.edu/lawreview/ar...
Bob Percival and I wrote this in 2019 in the Washington University Law Review in anticipation of the endangerment finding going away.
Via @lawfaremedia.org some takeaways from the #Texas floods -
- Improve #climate risk information
- Invest in adaptation measures before disaster strikes
- Resource the #CoastGuard
and emergency first responders
-Retreat when necessary
-Fully Fund Science
Honored to be named as part of the @justsecurity.org Editorial Team. Extremely grateful to @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and the Just Security team for taking a chance on me over the years to get my thoughts out on climate change, national security, and use of the military domestically!
In light of state and local law enforcement doing more immigration enforcement, I’m re-upping this article via @justsecurity.org that highlights the rise of “287g” agreements between #DHS and state/local police and National Guard
> 800 agreements and rising!
