The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

OMG! It’s our hero #WeDontCareClub

Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

“It feels really fulfilling and affirming, and it truly is an honor,” @danafarber.bsky.social’s Alexandria Monteiro tells @boston25news.com while donating her stem cells at the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center during the holidays to a pediatric patient needing a transplant. ➡️ bit.ly/49fDX0X

Here's what people are missing: RedBird Capital is a partner in the Paramount SkyDance effort to acquire WBD-- which includes CNN. It can be no coincidence that former CNN Worldwide CEO Jeff Zucker is CEO of RedBird IMI. (You didn't realize this, but now you're going to act like you did.)

More than a dozen years ago, a senior executive at a not-to-be-named network told me— with a straight face— social media doesn’t drive tune-in. I thanked them for their time, hit an about-face, and never previewed another project with them.

Nous devons changer, maintenant. Trop de vies ont été perdues. C’est dégoûtant.
