I did, actually, accomplish something today. Kind of.

Employment data. Child rape evidence. Actual immigrants. media1.tenor.com/m/zs-6k2lFHG...

But I thought this was The Most Transparent Administration in the History of the Entire World Indeed Universe and Maybe All the Multi Universes?

Gosh I'm almost starting to think that sometimes Trump might be lying.

It’s more Protect Women’s Sports “ish,” is the technical term, I believe.

“Filtered a little bit”

We should def make all decisions on daggum (sp?) gut instincts instead of facts, data and anything real.

Wonder what the difference is between “addressed historic racism” and “sufficiently addressed historic racism.” I bet it’s based on a lot of data and research and stuff.

Pesky ethics chief!!! Things will go so much faster without him. I mean, if you're gonna do it anyway, why have a record of someone saying you can't.

Me when a client used to ask me when I would send them a draft brief to review.

I don’t know there would ever be a “good” time for the release of tech that puts the ability of people to believe whatever they want on steroids. But during a Trump reign seems like particularly bad timing.

Reminds me a guy stated on LI that white males can’t get on mediation panels anymore. I privately asked him to delete his comment b/c it was damaging to minorities trying to make it in the field and oh also not true, showing him the most recent people to join JAMS—50% white males. He blocked me. 🤷‍♀️

DHS came out with the 500% figure and cited….Breitbart. Breitbart cited….DHS. Weeee! 🔁

You know, cuz “Disruptors” are cool. Just like Stockton Rush. They’re amazing business people cuz they get around complying with safety requirements! 😎

When I was a criminal defense attorney I never even THOUGHT to hold up. a chart to show how many crimes a client was charged with to show he didn't commit any crimes. 🤷‍♀️

I'e always thought Trump's super power is to put people in positions of power and then as soon as the first decision they choose the wrong (immoral/illegal/etc.) thing. Seems exceptional at it, really.

Trump & team can't do hard things, much less slightly difficult things. So they have to figure out the most stupid, regardless of horrible, means.

How is the saying evolving these days? Dance like no one is watching. Have phone calls like the FBI is listening. And maybe now: write letters like they might be posted unredacted on the internet after you lose. 🤷‍♀️

"Character.AI and Google asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit on multiple grounds, including that the chatbots' output was constitutionally protected free speech."

well that's interesting.

Have your niece’s team, coach included, start cheering on the kids on the other team.

How does someone who not only made false claims about voting machines, but was in a settlement for 787.5M for doing so, still even have a license. 🤷‍♀️

Wow, think of all the immigration judges we can hire now and give everyone hearings and trials, curing any backlog. For just half that we could add 2.5 million judges.

You know, at first I couldn’t tell what he was talking about. It was hard to see, but when I zoomed in I think I can make something out….

🤔 wondering about alllllll the problems of representing a client against the (nonlawyer) party you just made some kind of de facto managing partner of your law firm with whom your firm is also involved in bribery/extortion. Oh well, they probably have it all figured out.

Exactly. There’s no litmus test, and we don’t backfill evidence after the fact to excuse violations of rights/court orders. The cure for this was infinitesimal vs going to the mat and defying more orders. They must want to pave the way for some massive Grab & Fly human rights violations scheme.

I know I don't have a detailed practice exit plan in these posts! 😀 I basically think circumstances warrant rapid action removing it (far) from normal/ideal timelines for a split (exploring options, sign every last client, etc). There's an urgency warranting more $ spent/revenue lost to move fast.
