AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Every law firm that bows to Trump should know: When he leaves, your firm goes with him. How could any client ever trust you again?
Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight.
We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

And 36 times is deliberate murder of women and children by people who know exactly what they are doing.

In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.
