Twelve hours ago, Ras Baraka was just the mayor of Newark, New Jersey. Chances are that if you weren’t from NJ, you had no idea who he was. Now he’s a national figure. A household name. A hero. Jimmy Breslin would’ve recognized ICE. Another gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Only much more evil.

Think of it like this. Amazon is the evil Empire. Independent bookstores are the rebel bases. Go out, buy books from your local indie bookseller, and support the rebellion today! #IndependentBookstoreDay #BrooklynBookstoreCrawl

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Stephen Miller wouldn’t know an actual Marxist if Karl bit him on the leg. He just labels anyone who rules against him, speaks against him, or thinks against him a commie. Ironic, given how far up Putin’s анус he and the whole administration are. Also, Stephen? Even Roy Cohn wouldn’t like you.

Five years in, I’m still masking. My JD and my 40 years of lawyering say no one is going to stop me.

Hey @schatz.bsky.social, here’s a little loving advice from an older (wiser?) constituent. Instead of bashing mask mandates with 20-20 hindsight, maybe get out there and do what AOC and Bernie are doing.

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. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Since “Secretary” Hegseth is now a legal expert, he/him/it can report to Langell North Middle lecture hall at Harvard Law School, where he will be socratized so brutally that he’ll no longer be able to spell “DEI” (if he can even now, which, as we actual lawyers say, assumes facts not in evidence).

I wish liberals would lose the word “moron.” It’s literally the language of eugenics; it was made an English word as part of a classification system used to justify sterilizing-or worse-hundreds of thousands of intellectually disabled ppl. Keep criticizing MAGA, RFK Jr, etc. Just use a better word.

It’s world Down syndrome day. In the US, look for all the people trying to cut Medicaid and end federal support for special ed … but who wear zany socks. Those people are our enemies. #WDSD25

1/Today is World Down Syndrome Day. We must always remember those who helped pave the way, so we honor Melissa Riggio. She was a poet, writer, swimmer, advocate, and change maker. When Melissa was born with Down syndrome in 1988 there were hardly any books for the public available concerning...

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay. It falls on 3/21, because people with Down syndrome have three copies of the twenty-first chromosome. This is the best Down syndrome PSA ever made and I want you to watch and share it. #WDSD2025

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Tesla Cybertruck - possibly the ugliest production car ever made - is a commercial disaster. Nobody wants these dumpsters. So Elon foists $400 million of them on the US military. Talk about Government Excess. Corruption has always existed. But never has it been this obvious.
