I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."
Trump forced to concede defeat
Maine's governor promised she'd see Trump in court. She just declared victory.

In all seriousness, I cannot think of another example in my lifetime or even to my knowledge in American history where an American president has been so widely despised that he literally cost parties in other countries elections.

Nobody should travel to the US while ICE goons are on the rampage with impunity. Whatever rights you think you have, forget it.
Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar.

In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary.

Front page of the day goes to the Wall Street Journal.

Every paper should focus on this juxtaposition.

Every Democrat who’s still understandably clueless as to how they could possibly lose to such a thoroughly unfit, horrible human being like Donald Trump would be well advised to read this paragraph from @noahpinion.blogsky.venki.dev.👇
