This thread, folks. Lotta really important insights in here.
The thread sort of splits in a hard to follow way (technical not intellectual) so I’ll post part 2 below this. When you get to what seems to be the bottom go to part 2.

THIS is the kind of moral leadership we need in this moment.
People who are willing to say: the line has been crossed, and I refuse to be complacent.
Some can afford to be public, like this person—brava—and some throw sand in the gears quietly.
But for those who can, we must lift up.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email:
"Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

Just as my heart tightens reading the news, nature reminds me that light and love are always pouring into the world. And just like that, I can breathe again. Stay grounded, friends.
