I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

Why? He’s doing everything he said he was going to do. They voted for this because he said he was going to do it. I don’t believe that MAGA voters are having regrets. They love this.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

The damage being done to American science, particularly in the area of medical research will cost countless lives and take decades to repair. This is truly a catastrophe.

The adults in this Sesame Street book that is basically about race (red and blue monsters) are pretty ignorant to other races. “Oh you like all the same things we do?! Go figure!”

We must start disbarring attorneys who facilitate this shit. The practice of law is not a right, it is a privilege. We have ethics standards.

I think the best way to produce a renaissance in American faith is to have Trump buy a Cybertruck and get stuck in it when it bursts into flame. How would you be able to deny God then?

Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say “you should stop threatening to annex Canada.”

Just had a call with 2 Canadians and I just wanted to be like "Now?? Really you want to come to the US now?? WHY" but instead I smiled and nodded and talked shit about Trump.

This post from Steve Vladeck answered a lot of questions I had about the law in the Mahmoud Kahlil case. Or at least I learned a lot from it. Recommended reading. www.stevevladeck.com/p/131-five-q...

At the top of the USCIS H-1B lottery page. Ironic that of the hundreds of thousands of applicants who follow the law, get bachelors and masters degrees in their professional fields, about 80% of them will not be rewarded with the only work visa they are eligible for.

Unpopular opinion: I enjoy spring ahead better than fall back. I don’t lose an hour because I just sleep an hour later. 3 y/o got up at 8 today. It was fantastic.

A lot of people coming down on this father but they should really be coming down on people like RFK, Trump, Joe Rogan, Andrew Wakefield, and on and on. The perpetrators of anti-vax beliefs have so much blood on their hands.

Just thinking about how five years ago, my firm made us go into the office until it was little literally illegal to do so in NYC. My last pic in the office is from 3/19/20, when they gave us gloves and masks but still made us come in.

To the people saying “I’m vaccinated, I don’t care,” think about the people with infants who need to travel and the infants CANNOT be vaccinated yet. This is one of the most contagious diseases on the planet. It’s not a vax they get at birth. They have to wait a year.

This is horrifying for many reasons. They said they were revoking his student visa. He had a green card. Then they say the State Dept revoked his GC. State doesn’t issue GCs and can’t revoke them (USCIS issues them but can’t revoke them- he’d need to go through court). And for what… his free speech?

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Do a google image search of “India human hair” and you’ll be equally horrified. This isn’t fake hair, it’s real human hair made into wigs, eyelashes, extensions, etc.

Not only is this dangerous for newborns' immune systems to be in a filthy government office, this is likely implemented as a direct roadblock to undocumented parents whose children have birthright citizenship.

Why aren’t people having kids? Why aren’t people having more than one kid? Idk, maybe because the base price for an infant and a preschooler WITH SIBLING DISCOUNT at the only daycare available to me is $4,275/mo. Oh also it closes at 5:30pm so be there or you owe more money.

Maybe unpopular opinion, idk?, but I despise fake MAGA hats that say things like “Made ya look, trans rights matter” or something like that. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a red hat with white writing on it. Most people are not up close reading it. I want no mistake about who I support.
