This article is worth a read. It’s a story about honor and losses - personal losses with big consequences that we all should mourn.
Seven years ago, Pauline Shanks Kaurin left a good job as a tenured professor, uprooted her family, and moved to teach military ethics at the Naval War College. Now she's leaving in protest of policies she can't support and that make her job impossible.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Conference organizers rejected my introductory slide for a presentation I gave a few months ago. I stand by its obvious merits.

Yesterday, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of people charged with assaulting law enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, he pardoned more than 100 insurrectionists convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. This is not about "law and order."
