BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge who helped migrants avoid ICE. This judge is a hero. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

🤣🤣🤣

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.” I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

Things are shifting. Maybe. Judge Wilkinson’s astonishing opinion and then this. This penguin 🐧 attorney still has hope.

Was it just incompetence or a deliberate practice of trying to see what they can get away and then blaming an underling if it doesn’t work 🧐?

Courage outTrumps fear 💪💪❤️❤️

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Oops, those law firms who made a Faustian deal with Trump are discovering that “pro bono legal work” means helping Trump negotiate trade deals and representing him or his allies if they become ensnared in investigations 🥹 😈

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is it. We’ve abandoned Europe and our allies for a Third World tinpot dictator.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

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

I lived in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship. What’s happening here is WORSE!

I think the response could be a little stronger, but it’s a good start, and it was drafted by lawyers after all 🥹

Breaks my heart as a lawyer 💔 The point is power and control, and I can’t believe anyone who loves the law would accept this, but of course they love 💰 more 😢

You know it’s good news when it starts with “even Alito and Thomas” 🤣

Yay for us!

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Thank you to people like you ❤️

Or businesses should do it on their own!

Only a sociopath could calmly play golf after setting the world on fire.

Marc Elias, thank you 💪💪

Raskin: They say the number of courts striking down trump's policies is completely unprecedented. So what? That's only because the number of his illegal actions are completely unprecedented.

Been reading NYT since I could read (yeah, penguins read) but am cancelling my subscription today. Who stole their soul? Compare their top stories today to Guardian and even WaPo and WSJ.

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

We got there pretty early, but it was so wonderfully crowded we were way at the back ❤️❤️ #handsoff #philadedelphia

The Nasdaq is on track for its biggest one-day drop since March 2020 — the last time Trump presided over a recession.
