I live on the ancestral land of the Council of Three Fires, the traditional Anishinaabe alliance of the Potawatomi, Ojibwe and Odawa tribal nations. I honor their memory, give thanks for their wise stewardship of this beautiful country, and pay my grateful respects to their elders, past and present.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara apologies to the US citizen who was brutally detained by ICE.
“This is embarrassing”.
ICE is embarrassing America.
That’s why tourist revenue is down.
That’s why people don’t want to visit.
That’s why there’s boycotts.
It’s an embarrassment & a danger.

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.
