friends, here's a link to the job posting. come work with us.

Strong preference for someone Virginia barred. I'm the first to say that the pay is not incredible because we give away a lot of our time on pro bono and longshot cases, but the work is cool as hell.

www.ziprecruiter.com/jobs/the-erl...
we need an associate to join the firm as soon as possible. various reasons inc. half the fed gov't being fired.

employment, civil rights, a bit of suing Elon Musk, some other stuff.

*Virginia* bar required.

I'll get around to posting something formal but email me a resume if you want to apply.

A few companies that are not abandoning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI): Apple, Ben & Jerry's, Costco, Delta Airlines, Francesca’s, JPMorgan Chase, Lush, Microsoft, Patagonia.
These Companies Aren’t Ditching DEI
As some companies go along with the Trump Administration’s anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, others are pushing back.

The devil within does not die, they all must go. They are horrible, vile, and evil beings… VOTE THEM OUT!
This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.

There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.

Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

In 1938, Nazi Germany held "peace talks" about Czechoslovakia with England, France, and Italy. The Czechs were not there.

In 2025, Putin's Russia is holding "peace talks" about Ukraine with the US and Saudi Arabia.

The Ukrainians are not there.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.

But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

USGS maps are filled with inaccuracies after an update changing Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America:

- Much of the Netherlands has flooded, including Amsterdam
- Part of Israel says "No Man's Land"
- The Pacific Ocean is pretty much everywhere
- England is split in half

Spent the afternoon exfoliating, hydrating & ensuring the Gulf of Mexico is exactly where I left it on MapQuest. Somewhere between my second serum & a deep existential sigh, I couldn’t help but wonder — in a world addicted to power & rebrands, is the Gulf of Mexico the last bastion of authenticity?
