Recovering corporate lawyer: love books, horses, animals, nature and the environment. Ready to take some power back for the people and make democracy work.
The most clueless billionaire ever, when it comes to any social good. A concept he has no idea of.

Great essay. This was my grandparents’ world and experience, immigrant garment workers in NYC themselves, they lost friends in the Triangle fire.

Indeed.

2/2 Therefore the firm surrendered its independence and works under continuing WH and DoJ supervision. Many lawyers would find it humiliating to work in such a firm, and clients with disputes with the US Gov should question whether PW can be trusted as zealous, un-compromised advocate.

Karp’s e-mail doesn’t address 4 major points according to WH version of deal: political neutrality in client selection and attorney hiring; pro bono representing full political spectrum; merit-based [sic] hiring, promotion, retention, instead of “DEI.” So WH & DoJ can supervise all that. 1/2

Yeah, that seemed a bit extreme.

No joke. Spending half an hour in an airplane bathroom for no good reason, not obeying the instructions of the crew, is selfish behavior of the most oblivious kind.

If the pilot used anti-Semitic language that is not okay. But hauling someone out of the toilet who occupied it for half an hour? Definitely okay. An airplane toilet, you do your business and get out; not the place to resolve your constipation.

Careful legal work by Paul Weiss there….

I damn well hope so!

Right on, Senator. Please try to talk sense into Schumer’s head. Democrats should not incriminate themselves before the voters by supporting this budget. It is terrible and represents everything we oppose about the Musk-Trump regime.

Totally agree. On social media, I have seen hundreds flock to his support, and also criticizing the 10 Dems who voted with all the Reps on the censure measure. What he did was justified and he looked good doing it - like a biblical prophet.

Such a wanker.

This was a really superb piece, and what I value most about it is the call to action. People need to link in to like-minded friends and activists, be in the streets, and work on their local politicians and politics, including challenging Democrats to step up or step aside.

The weird change in your motto is supposed to reflect your cynical descent into oligarchic control I assume?
