Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

This will be Paul Weiss' most enduring shame. Performatively denouncing an honorable man and a former partner in order to please an autocrat.

"Paul Weiss has acknowledged the wrongdoing of its former partner Mark Pomerantz."

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

I lived in Soviet Russia in 1981 (Moscow). My dad was a national news cameraman.

I saw authoritarianism close up and it is NOT FUN. Americans don't believe it could happen here. That's a gigantic misconception. It can and it is. If we don't stop it, it will decimate us.

Fight now. Now. Or never.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Indiana is broke as hell, like broke,broke. 20 billion a year in federal subsidies for the Hoosier state. We're the 3rd highest paid welfare queen red states. Higher than Kentucky on the list.
