I gave a talk today to 200 lawyers & judges about how the Nazis brought Germany's once-independent bar to heel in the '30s. This Trump executive order targeting lawyers came out while I was talking--too late to note to the audience that THEY DID IT LIKE THIS. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Shakespeare’s “First, let’s kill all the lawyers” wasn’t an insult. It was a serious observation, highlighting that the first line of defense against tyranny is the rule of law and lawyers who defend it. We’ve lost ourselves and our profession if Paul Weiss’ decision goes without more than a shrug.

Trump handled #PaulWeiss the way Putin handles him. On the bright side, there is going to be some top legal talent on the job market soon.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having zero Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners. This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting. www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeo...

“The first step in liquidating a people…is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.” - Kundera

WTAF. The fools in the admin are investigating the flow of funds (and are seeking to freeze those funds) to some of the most respected nonprofits and CDFIs in the country. They really hate clean energy and civil society.

💯: “If anything is anti-American, it’s threatening non-citizens who are in this country legally and have committed no crimes with the specter of being arrested, detained, and removed for doing nothing more than speaking up on behalf of unpopular causes . . . with which many of us may well disagree.”

The IRS manages 3,000 returns per employee, and collects $57m per employee. It's a hyper-efficient benefits administrator; its budget is 67 times smaller than the military budget. What are we doing here. (I mean, I know what we are doing here.) apnews.com/article/irs-...

This is extremely, extremely bad. Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.
