Well I for one am glad that all my practice at swimming to shore from Alcatraz is not going to have been for nothing.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This is very grim. A lot of it is unverifiable touchy-feely bullshit, and I am sure Paul Weiss does far more qualifying pro bono than that already, but the appearance of knuckling under is very bad. I would be worried as one of their clients adverse to the government.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

This is an embarrassment for Yale. It’s a grime time and things are going to keep getting grimmer if universities jump at shadows from fear of Trumpism. If you teach at Yale I sure hope ChatGPT doesn’t say you kidnapped the Lindbergh baby or something. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/

This is purporting to punish not only a law firm that took clients and cases Trump didn’t like, but anyone doing business with them. Just undisguised gangsterism.

As AMLO made Mexico more autocratic, he did all kinds of stuff his progressive/left base should have hated (militarization, hobbling the independent election agency, attacking the press) but he also massively expanded government payments to seniors. That program was fairly well run & SUPER popular.

For those who sneer at this: It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed. What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs. Because they hire women & POC.

With the SEC and CFPB being gutted or destroyed and fraud basically becoming legal in the US, it's a good time to remember that Vanguard is owned by its funds and has much lower fees. It was already a sensible choice for personal investing but likely to be an even better option now.

At a time when serious allegations of child sexual abuse are stuck for years in the Crown Court backlog, and every part of the system is starved of resources, the prosecution of Sam Kerr - including the instruction of a silk in a case that appeared suitable for a pupil - is hard to understand.

This is dumb. Proposing new legislation appears to concede that what they’re doing isn’t already illegal. And when you lose they’ll point to the failed attempt as proof.
