Two things can be true: Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

@victorsuth.bsky.social retired English teacher and crime fiction lover, I absolutely recommend Hollow Spaces, a compelling story with themes of sibling rivalry, infidelity, and sins of the father to name a few. The NYC setting is a bonus, and the dual timeline works well. I couldn’t put it down.

Great weekend. Had a fantastic time at the Virginia Festival of the Book, moderating a panel with John Gilstrap and @christinakovac.bsky.social and speaking on a panel with Jennifer van der Kleut and Marisa Kashino and hanging with @bookbent.bsky.social. Finished The Belles today: magnificent.

Northerly PGH-area folks! I'll be at the Northland Library's Local Author Fair on March 28. The event starts at 10 a.m.—drop by to meet a bunch of amazing authors and maybe even go home with some books. www.northlandlibrary.org/local-author...

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

the first choice is literally what Jesus would teach, i feel like i'm losing my mind

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

“The insidious liberal bias in music, movies, literature, and television is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Nashville, TN, resident Drew Cardona

It’s just unfathomable to me that people think it makes sense for any law enforcement to be masked and anonymous. Police officers operate under risks and don’t wear masks. Judges & prosecutors, the same.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

This is an execution. Abolish ICE. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

As a legal professional, I can say that the hallmarks of a solid legal opinion based in fact and good law are "no you can't have a copy" and "no you can't take notes, just read it once and you're done".

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

@victorsuth.bsky.social's HOLLOW SPACES is one of Crime Reads' favorite legal thrillers of 2025! "A delicate and devastating portrait of the limits of the American dream, deeply resonant in today’s landscape." crimereads.com/the-best-boo...

So proud of this book. Also glad that the bar isn't set too high for me going forward...

So proud to be among this group!

Cannot be more proud and overwhelmed to have been included on this list!

So proud of this book!

HOLLOW SPACES by @victorsuth.bsky.social was named one of the best crime novels of the year (so far) by @nytimes.com! Check out the full list & review here: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/b...

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

It’s maybe not shocking that the institutions closest to fact—district judges, juries—have proven most robust against an onslaught of lies, but it’s to journalism’s eternal shame that it has behaved like the political institutions and not the honest ones.

Judge Young's opinion in American Association of University Professors v. Rubio is one of the best crafted and bravest pieces of judicial writing I've ever read. knightcolumbia.org/documents/ah...

in a sane world, this would be an impeachable offense & articles of impeachment would be drawn up tomorrow. just as Jimmy Kimmel’s case wasn’t about Jimmy Kimmel - but about state sanctioned censorship - the Jim Comey case isn’t about Jim Comey. It’s about the rule of law versus authoritarianism.

This month’s Crime & Mystery column reviews new books by Victor Suthammanont, Morgan Richter, Joe Lansdale, and Randy Wayne White.

HOLLOW SPACES is a @nytimes.com Editors' Pick! "Suthammanont unspools [the mystery] with gorgeous precision. The heart of HOLLOW SPACES lies in the way children repeat their parents’ mistakes — and the not-so-casual racism in privileged spaces." buff.ly/ei1u5Vs

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I'm just an ordinary First Amendment lawyer but I'm pretty sure you can't transform "protesting the president" into criminal activity by recharacterizing it as "inflicting harm on the United States."

100% correct: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.

So psyched to make the print edition of the NY Times Book Review today!

Worth reading the thread about what looks like a clear criminal act.

The District Court is absolutely correct.

As a lawyer, I'll tell you that there's nobody who knows this law better than Ryan and Brian. Sure looks like murder or war crime to me. But as a human, I'll tell you that the Rubio statement -- we could have stopped the boat but we blew it up to send a message -- is sickening and depraved.
