"Focusing on the harmlessness of the target obscures the deeper issue: Why was this weapon employed without the discipline that governs every legitimate use of force in the military?"

Writing this piece caused me to reflect on a history of protest songs, and Springsteen’s may be the most unique. My latest in @thebulwark.com
On Springsteen's new song, "Streets of Minneapolis," here's @markhertling.bsky.social:
"This is a song about the values we are testing. It asks what we are willing to preserve when authority, fear, and politics collide—when the lines between security and coercion, order and justice, begin to blur."

Within living memory, when presidents invoked the Insurrection Act, they did so in circumstances that were extraordinary and in line with how the drastic act was intended to be used.
No such circumstances exist right now.

A prediction:
Given the administration officials who the President pointed to Saturday don’t seem to want to be “in charge” of Venezuela, soon POTUS will appoint a four-star general and an “envoy”to run the country.
They will have some major challenges.
