Factual thoughts: Scott Pelley and Henry Schuster were embedded with my Marine infantry unit in 2009—it was incredibly violent in Helmand. They told our story well. Years later, my unit suffered multiple suicides, they came back to cover that too.

Extremely interesting thread about TV (and what’s currently wrong with it) from someone who knows.

Completely agree with @rickhasen.bsky.social. After tonight’s decision, it isn’t just impossible to win a Voting Rights Act claim—it’s also impossible to win a *constitutional* claim against egregiously racist gerrymandering.
