In its role of protecting federal law enforcement officers, does the military commander have any discretion regarding whether to engage his/her troops? Put another way, if civilian law enforcement initiates an attack, and face resistance (Chicago 1968), what is the military's role?

Two questions come to mind:

Could the civilian law enforcement simply issue a standing request for military presence on all missions, due to "situational uncertainty"?

I may have missed it, but did any of the daily updates mention, "My boss is shitposting that Abrego Garcia will never get out."?

“Nothing
short of the integrity of the entire legal system is at stake.”

It is so pathetic that the institutions and people most financially able to withstand pressure from this administration are the ones who are capitulating. As per usual, it's those who have the least cushion who are standing up.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Came here to say exactly that. More blunt speach.

For those of you who aren’t immediately outraged at this insult to some of the bravest Americans to have served — ever — the 442nd Regimental Combat Team is one of the most decorated in US history and earned 21 Congressional Medals of Honor, 9,486 Purple Hearts eight Presidential Unit Citations…

When the Russians have left his country, and when he has attended the last funeral of a Ukrainian killed by Putin’s war, then I may worry about what Pres. Zelenskyy wears.

I expected a bit more detail than just the link. It's the Alt National Park Bluesky account -- invaluable for learning what it's like on the inside.

@altnps.bsky.social If you aren't following this group, you should. It is providing real-time information from within about the ongoing attack on our federal government.

I am so goddamn mad. A friend who’s been FISHING BODIES OUT OF THE POTOMAC appears to be in the Trump purges today.

Judgment at Tokyo.
