Thank you, Rachel! You are inspiring.

I tried to watch this and she talks so rapidly that I couldn't understand anything she said. Is there a transcript anywhere?

Wow, courage is FUEL for any movement…more more more 🇺🇸

Can’t view if not on TikTok. Not on TikTok because don’t want that many incursions into my privacy

Same

This is what doing something at personal cost looks like. This is a woman who could have just stayed quiet, billed her hours, and made a top .1% salary.

It’s always the women who turn out to be the heroes we need

Where is her support and action from others in the profession - or did I miss it?

panicatthedogpark.bsky.social•7 days ago

You did not.

***warning, gross character generalization incoming***

We are in a very scary place if we are reliant on "corporate lawyers" as a defense against autocracy

panicatthedogpark.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’ve met more than a few lawyers that took the low (but well-paid) road so they could afford to take the high road.

jhoward.bsky.social•7 days ago

would anyone mind reposting the video here?

clarajeffery.bsky.social•7 days ago

You can see Tik Toks on desktop without the app

mnasca.bsky.social•7 days ago

I wasn’t able to access it - it kept sending me to the App Store.

panicatthedogpark.bsky.social•7 days ago

Me too. I don’t WANT TikTok. Just let me see the damn video. 🤬

I'm on ipad. Shouldn't make a difference in this day and age.

jhoward.bsky.social•5 days ago

they handicap it on purpose as of last year (only on devices where they have an app)

patchygroundfog.bsky.social•5 days ago

But there are plenty of tiktoks on this site and I could watch them just fine without the app. I agree, something changed, but I wonder if it's a setting on the creator side? 🤷🏼‍♀️

jhoward.bsky.social•5 days ago

the app allows you to download the video and upload it natively to other social media. that’s probably how you saw those, and what I was asking about above

patchygroundfog.bsky.social•5 days ago

I was not able to watch it. But I've watched tiktoks here before and they just play, don't have to go offsite to tiktok and download. Maybe a setting to embed or something? 🤷🏼‍♀️

patchygroundfog.bsky.social•5 days ago

FYI can't watch video unless tiktok is installed. I don't have it. I watch tiktoks here all the time, they just play here. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe a setting?

Rachel gets the urgency of the moment, we need more Rachels in Congress and out at protests.

whoa. watching her read that letter was a jolt with my coffee. that's powerful.

If Rachel Cohen isn’t an associate White House counsel when Dems retake power, it better be by her choice.

And this episode is required listening too. A lot of truth, a lot of living examples for the need to resist and stand up. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0xVKzAZw9eKXwUkv8HjjqB?si=ex5DsVPVTciPmgDtyoRHpw
