Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Of course Cory Booker’s filibuster isn’t gonna end fascism by itself. But every act of resistance matters. Cory Booker listened to us and did something. We must give him credit, or other people will see us complain, conclude we can’t be satisfied, and look elsewhere. Thank you, Cory.
