The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.”

I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

At my most recent opportunity, I took a moment to reflect in Lincoln's shadow.
He struggled to hold a nation together when it was almost certain to fail. We owe no less effort in our time.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

#GOP politicians passed a bill to defund #Medicare & #Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars.

But don't worry about them - they'll get to keep their precious taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage. And Republican Sugar Daddy Elon Musk will get his tax cuts…

We’ve seen class consciousness spike nationally, and people realizing that America needs a revolution.

But y’all, there are people who’ve BEEN organizing for this for a loooong time. If you didn’t listen then, it’s time to listen now.

I cannot tell a lie, I’m agnostic.

I believe in kindness to my neighbors, and that an evil done to the least of us, is an evil done to all of us.

This probably qualifies as anti #Christian bias in the Trumpian #cult. My sympathies to those still inside, #altGov
