A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms.

This is it.

This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up.

Law firms refuse to represent Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks
The result is an extraordinary threat to constitutional rights of due process and representation and a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.

A sad day for Iowa!

SF473 passed the Iowa senate today. House debate and likely vote will happen tomorrow on the ability for medical providers, facilities insurers to opt out of any medical procedure based on religious beliefs. Both of these are wrong and discriminatory. @maddow.msnbc.com

A story of those who gave their lives to fight Nazi's and fight for freedom … let us hope that this will not occur in our world/country today. This article is poignant and inspires one to consider what our roles in effecting needed change with our current authoritarian government might need to be.

Join Barb & me at a town hall at Urbandale Public Library on Tuesday, March 18th, 6-7:30pm. This is a constituent town hall for Rep. Zach Nunn. He has been invited, but it's unlikely he will show up. If he does attend, he'd be ahead of his cronies, who have been mostly no-shows @ their town halls.

The truth of DEI - quality, well-written, informational read from The Atlantic. @joyannreid.bsky.social
The Great Resegregation
The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

This countermarch is in protest of the Neo-Nazi group who marched in downtown Des Moines last Saturday.
This March Against Hate is creating a more prominent counter message than hate groups with a message of

Wrong, wrong, wrong, Musk and the Rats need to stop stepping into areas that directly mean life or death for humans. No woman's choice allowed but it's ok if a person dies with lack of access to their much needed, life saving medical devices? #righttolife #catholicsriseup
Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

A great use of US tax dollars!

"DHS has up to a $200 million budget to run multiple anti-immigrant ads in the US thanking the President for the immigration crackdown. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the ads were Trump’s idea. Trump asked her to star in ads thanking him “for closing the border.”

Protesters rally against move to remove gender identity from Iowa Civil Rights Act. It seems Iowa grows more each day to be a Trump Utopian state.

The measure would remove protections from discrimination on the basis of gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act.

Trump's EOs and abrupt decisions make me sick to my stomach and I become dumbfounded. What is the outcome going to be? I am frightened.
I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Love quoting Ronald Reagan today! Back in the 80's not so sure but then I did not have the experience of Donald Trump and his co-president Musk. @luigsech.bsky.social
RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

We love this photo of our friend, Mary, with her son, as #22 in 2023, stood there, post-game, soaking in the cheers from the crowd. What an amazing game today as the Hawkeye WBB upset #4 USC. An outstanding way to celebrate the awe-inspiring career of Caitlin Clark. #caitlinclark #iowawbb #Hawkeyes
