I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, and Palestinians.

We don't need vaccines because we don't see widespread disease We don't need clean water regulations because we have clean water We don't need bank regulation because we haven't had a financial crisis since 2008 We don't need NATO/US hegemony because Europeans haven't killed each other since WWII

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.
