Every time I see someone yammering about abolish ICE / policing and how DEEPLY UNPOPULAR it is, I want to remind them that the GOP abolished Roe v. Wade and that was also deeply, deeply unpopular, and here they are, in charge of everything still.

The shower is undefeated for best place to come up with the opening to your oral argument. Just say “Good morning your honors and may it please the Court” and see where the warm water takes you. Walking the dog is a close second. At your computer is dead last. Thank you for coming to my CLE.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING NONSTOP!
"Every single moment, statement, or action that slows down the backslide into authoritarianism is a good one, and we should look for and document them." www.lawdork.com/p/what-the-t...
"Every single moment, statement, or action that slows down the backslide into authoritarianism is a good one, and we should look for and document them." www.lawdork.com/p/what-the-t...
the only approach to trump that has ever made sense was “slow him down as much as possible while rallying public support to your cause” and while most politicians, pundits, and big law partners don’t get this, some do, and lawyers in particular have the tools to act on that understanding
in the spirit of self-crit: in past years I have certainly been among those who have been vocally skeptical of the role of law and lawyers in meaningfully constraining armed agents of the state. but I do think we have to hand it to lawyers at this time

Anybody who works closely with young people, anybody who's had cause to visit a psychiatric unit, knows that the EOs are going to result in dead kids. That's not a maybe. That's a fact. And these fucking killers know it; want it. Whatever happens, let us never forget that.
NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over.
"Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

I know that everyone sane already knows this but as the parent of a 1st grader in public school, trust me that no one is trying to change your kid’s gender.
These kids are playing, learning, and making friends. And their teachers deserve so much more respect than this Administration gives them.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
