Senior Litigation Counsel @nclalegal Counsel of Record, Relentless v. Commerce. Chevron delenda est. Opinions are solely my own. Which is a shame.






Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) released a footage urging Kurdish forces to unite against Iran. The fighter shown appears armed with a US-made 5.56×45 mm FN/Colt M4A1 carbine.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Frankie Paul repeatedly attacked Dakota Mortensen during the 2023 incident in which she pled guilty to aggravated assault; video shows that one of her children was struck during the fight. Trigger Warning. tmz.me/z0szobb



Chairman of the JCS Gen. Dan Caine: "The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz."





Which way?

Again: the key to understanding the second Trump term is Jared Kushner.






Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"


🚨 Tucker Carlson disgustingly defends 1930s British fascist Oswald Mosley - who was so aligned with the Nazis that he married at Joseph Goebbels’ house in Berlin, with Adolf Hitler as a guest - even calling him “patriotic.” Carlson claimed Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Churchill, and that this is why he was arrested during World War II. To be clear: Mosley was a full-blown fascist. He received financial support from Mussolini, maintained close ties to Nazi Germany, and led the British Union of Fascists’ Blackshirts - a paramilitary-style group inspired by Mussolini’s movement, known for violence and for targeting Jewish communities. Mosley had previously served as a Member of Parliament from 1918 to 1931, initially as a Conservative and later as a Labour MP. However, after founding the British Union of Fascists in 1932 and embracing fascism, he was never again electorally viable or close to holding office. He was detained in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B because the British government considered him a security risk with sympathies toward enemy powers - not because he was a credible political opponent. For Carlson to portray Mosley - an outspoken, Hitler-admiring fascist - as a war hero (which Tucker exaggerates), and to claim he was persecuted purely for political reasons, is deeply disturbing. The question has to be asked: does Tucker Carlson despise Churchill so much that he’s willing to defend a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley - or does he genuinely believe a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley was a patriot?

i mean, fine, but you got counties named after Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee down there.
