The constitution working as it should: public employees fired over Charlie Kirk posts keep winning big settlements against the people who fired them (Twitter/X, news story)

Ukraine note: with the fighting turning in their favor, Ukraine has focused its drones on a major effort to disrupt Russian front-line logistics, one supposes because they hope this will help them reclaim even more territory this summer. (Some tweets: one, two, three, four, five) I find it interesting that the Ukrainian military has announced this, given it a name ("Logistics Lockdown"), and launched a coordinated campaign of video releases. To make Russian soldiers nervous? To draw attention away from something else?
