I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

There’s a word for this, and it’s called bribery.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

It seems like every day we are focusing on what is happening to democracy in court. The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Always fearlessly independent with no corporate overlords. It will not bow down. It will never obey. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newslett...

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.

According to media reports, the list of Trump collaborator Big Law firms may grow to include: A&O Shearman Cadwalader Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins Simpson Thacher If they do, they would join the already disgraced: Skadden Arps Paul Weiss Milbank Willkie Farr

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated. In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he believed 'the real number is much higher'. www.ft.com/content/bfa0...

A few weeks ago, Chinese soldiers were spotted inside Eastern Ukraine alongside Russian troops. It's been rumored Chinese troops were operating against Ukraine for months now. Ukraine reportedly fought a group of six Chinese troops, of which 2 were captured. The status of the rest is unknown.

Zelensky: We have their documents, even credit cards. They are citizens of China. I believe the United States of America needs to pay more attention to what is happening today. #standwithukraine

The Shocking Far-Right Agenda Behind the Facial Recognition Tech Used by ICE and the FBI

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Fuck yeah! Who’s in? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Dear, Elon Best wishes from Wisconsin

There were multiple protests in AZ in several locations. Here is downtown Phoenix.

Law firms did not strike a "truce" with Trump. They capitulated to an authoritarian. Some, like Skadden, sought out these deals before they even faced any sanction from the Trump regime. The law students standing up are brave. The law firms they are protesting are cowards.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.
