My grandfather could have gotten hurt. @itaairwayscom.bsky.social canceled our flight, put him in the wrong terminal in 100-degree heat with no wheelchair, and when I asked for help their staff told me to wait because ‘other people had flights to catch.’ Here’s what I sent them. #ITAAirways #EU261

Today, we’re launching a 5-week effort to sustain Lawfare’s independent analysis. Lawfare is built on one idea: reliable, expert analysis delivered at the pace of news—without a paywall. That only works because of our supporters. Become a $10/month supporter at lawfaremedia.org/support.
To learn more on this issue see my @lawfaremedia.org piece, written when DOJ was a mere 0 for 3 in the courts on this issue. They've subsequently lost 2 more, with about 25 cases still pending. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

"Respondents' counsel does not contend he could not comply with the Court's order but rather, that he had higher priorities. Thus, Respondents' counsel's noncompliance in this matter, and in others, demonstrates an unwillingness—not an inability—to adhere to basic procedural requirements."

I think that this effort, by @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, will prove to be one of the more consequential analyses conducted during the first two years of this administration. Its findings are incredibly alarming, but they can be addressed.
