In times of political uncertainty, it's natural for hopeful rumors to emerge, suggesting that international justice mechanisms are stepping in to address perceived domestic injustices. One such rumor gaining traction is that Jack Smith, the former U.S. Special Counsel, is now involved in the International Criminal Court's (ICC) investigation into alleged crimes in Venezuela. Although there are some truths to the rumors the dates for Jacks attendance of working with the ICC and Venezuela’s filling

The Tech Tangle: Zuckerberg, Trump, and the FTC

Today we're diving into a story that sits at the crossroads of Silicon Valley and Washington D.C.In December 2024, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, made headlines by donating $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. This move came just weeks after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Notably, Meta had not contributed to Trump's 2017 or President Biden's 2021 inaugural funds. The donation raised eyebrows. Was it a gesture of goodwill, a

Today, we explore the troubling case of a two-year-old U.S. citizen, identified as V.M.L., who was deported to Honduras without due process. This incident has raised serious concerns about the treatment of U.S. citizens in immigration enforcement. It all began during a routine check-in at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in New Orleans. Jenny Carolina Lopez Villela, a Honduran national, arrived with her two daughters: an 11-year-old and V.M.L., her two-year-old daughter born in

When Power Is Above the Law

You ever get that feeling where something just doesn’t sit right anymore? Like the country you were raised to believe in, the one where law matters, where checks and balances are supposed to mean something, is being played like a rigged game? Let’s talk about the president. Not the name. Just the title. Because the title carries weight. And right now, the person holding it is pushing the limits of that power, sometimes crossing lines that, if we’re being honest, look a lot like legal and moral

Where’s the Future We Were Promised?

2025/04/24

Tonight’s a little different. This isn’t the episode I planned, and honestly, I almost didn’t hit record at all. But I felt like I needed to speak, not as a host, not as a commentator, but just as a person sitting in the dark with way too many thoughts. So here goes. When I was younger, I genuinely believed the future would look like Star Trek. Not in the shiny-uniformed, warp-speed kind of way, but in the spirit of it. I thought we were moving toward something better. A society where we’d finally

Silent Spread: The Bird Flu Crisis

2025/04/22

Over the past few years, a silent crisis has been unfolding across our nation, a crisis that began in the skies, descended into our farms, and is now knocking on our doors. I'm talking about the H5N1 avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu.Initially, H5N1 was a concern primarily for poultry. But in March 2024, the virus made an unprecedented jump to dairy cows, marking the first time such a transmission had been documented in the United States. Since then, over 200 dairy herds have been

Guardrails Removed: The Impact of Military Legal Firings

2025/04/22

Today, we confront a pivotal development: the recent dismissal of the top legal officers, the Judge Advocates General (JAGs), across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These individuals have long served as the impartial legal conscience of our military, ensuring that actions taken in defense of our nation align with both domestic and international law. These firings were justified by leadership as necessary because the JAGs were not "well-suited" to provide recommendations when lawful orders are given

2025/04/20

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III's seven-page opinion in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia delivers a powerful critique of the Trump administration's handling of Garcia's deportation. Garcia, a Salvadoran national and Maryland resident, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador despite a 2019 court order protecting him from removal due to threats from local gangs. The administration's failure to comply with this order and its subsequent resistance to facilitating Garcia's return prompted Judge Wilkinson's

Normalcy Bias, The Bystander Effect

2025/04/17

Regrettably, in my experience as a 52-year-old woman, I have observed that a significant portion of people remain inactive in the face of a crisis unless it directly impacts their own lives. The urgency and gravity of the situation often escapes them, leaving them indifferent until the consequences knock at their own door.While there may not be a single study explicitly stating that most Americans will not act in a crisis unless it affects them personally, several psychological phenomena and

Universal Injunctions and Democracy

2025/04/16

Today, I want to talk about a development that has serious implications for our democracy. A group of law professors testified before Congress regarding the use of universal injunctions, court orders that can halt federal policies nationwide. These injunctions have been instrumental in checking executive actions that may overstep legal boundaries. Professors for various Law Schools provided insights into the history and function of universal injunctions. They discussed how these legal tools have

Deportations, Media, and the FCC: A Constitutional Clash

2025/04/16

Recently, a prominent political figure (the president) has called upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke the broadcast license of a major television network. The catalyst? A report aired on a renowned investigative journalism program that scrutinized the administration's deportation practices. Let's unpack the contents of that report. The investigative piece revealed that 238 Venezuelan men were deported from Texas to El Salvador's maximum-security prison, known as the Center for

Echoes of Social Security

2025/04/16

Social Security has long been a cornerstone of American life, a promise that after years of hard work, there would be a safety net in our later years. But recent developments have cast a shadow over this promise. In the wake of the 2024 elections, a new governmental body was established, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Tasked with trimming federal expenditures, DOGE has set its sights on various programs, including Social Security. Despite assurances that entitlements like Social

The Rule of Law on Trial

2025/04/15

Today, we confront a situation that tests the very fabric of our constitutional democracy. The Supreme Court issued a directive to the executive branch: to facilitate the return of an American citizen, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Despite this clear mandate, the administration has not taken effective action to comply. Legal experts express concern over this defiance, warning that such disregard for judicial authority risks triggering a constitutional

China Trade Truths Revealed

2025/04/14

For decades, American leaders have painted China as the antagonist in our economic story. We've been told that Chinese companies steal intellectual property, flout international trade rules, and flood our markets with cheap, subpar goods. This portrayal has been used to justify a series of trade wars and tariffs, all in the name of protecting American interests. But what if this narrative isn't entirely accurate? What if, in some cases, it's a convenient scapegoat for deeper systemic issues within

From Muddy Roots to National Reckonings

2025/04/11

Yesterday, I found myself face down in the mud—literally. I had rushed outside to confront a group of men cutting down trees on my property. They claimed they were working on a neighbor's trees, but I knew better. These were my trees, and they had no authorization to be there. Just two years ago, a similar crew came through, taking down 30 of our trees under the guise of easement clearing, even though such maintenance is supposed to occur every four years. Their compensation? A mere $100 certificate
