They filed this lawsuit against California in 2019. They lost!
statepowerproject.org/california/#US
The litigation was led by Jeffrey Clark, who would later support an insurrection. But now he's back in the Administration as if none of that happened!

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

Today in user-hostile design: A website’s security question was “What is your age?” In fine print, it said, “enter the age you were when you first registered.”
I’m not sure, but I think there is a better solution.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
