Law firms must stand united against this craven attack on the independence of the legal profn.
There's two aspects of Trump's EO directed at Perkins Coie which I feel aren't getting sufficient attention:

➡️It directs DOJ/EEOC to investigate *all* large firms which are trying to diversify the profession.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Love being lectured about free speech by a college dropout wearing a $900,000 watch.
Anyhoo, he kicks it off with a very bad misunderstanding of the 1st Amendment and the whole "fire in a crowded theater" thing. cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social @jkosseff.bsky.social
