Lawyer. Recovering CISO. Still optimistic but it’s not getting any easier. Views my own, g-d knows nobody else wants to claim them. Skeets definitely not legal advice. Currently clean on OPSEC.

I’m writing this as a sort of time capsule because tomorrow, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. The things I am writing here are true today, and I hope will remain true for the next four years. 1/x

this is definitely the optimal use case for Bernie Sanders
Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

This is a great thread. The only way out is through, and no matter how you slice that, it’s going to be incredibly painful for a lot of people who deserve better.
I think what the "we must make sure nothing upsets or discomfits the smol bean middle American" side of this debate misses is that there are huge quantities of human misery and death down both of these paths and all we are doing now is deciding upon whom that misery settles, and when.

When the guy that wrote your Con Law casebook talks about the Constitution, it's good to listen.
“The whole point of the 1st Amendment is to protect speech we don’t like. We don’t need the 1st Amendment to protect the speech we like.” - Dean Erwin Chemerinksy to @latimes.com: lat.ms/4mwl12I #UCBerkeleyLaw
In a dizzying few days, Trump ramps up attacks on political opponents and 1st Amendment
President Trump has pressed for federal authorities to prosecute his political opponents, while he and his allies have taken steps to crack down on free speech.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.
