Law School Deans Denounce Trump's Attacks On Biglaw Firms As Unconstitutional - Above the Law Another core group of lawyers stands up to defend Biglaw against the Trump administration.

79 Law School Deans standing up for the Rule of Law - but where are deans of Yale, Harvard, Columbia (ok never mind in that one)?
Where are you Heather Gerken?? @yalelawschool-yls.bsky.social

Hope it really hurts next time.

Deprive Elon Musk of federal aid. He should survive on his own!

What? USAID Was Investigating Musk's Starlink? You Don't Say! What an incredible coincidence!

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trump’s USAID Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

This is evil.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Government lawyers with ethics concerns look for help amid Trump crackdown Some lawyers hope that bar associations, which have themselves been targeted by Trump, will come to their aid.

👋 legal profession!

"With the Trump administration warning career lawyers to follow orders even if they have ethical qualms, pressure is building on professional legal associations to take a stance against efforts to upend long-standing norms of public service..."

Exclusive | DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, whose access to Treasury payment systems was approved by a judge, has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism a...

Real shocker here. The 25 year old rooting around in the code of the US government's payment system likes to post things like "Normalize Indian hate."

Where in the Constitution of the United States does it give fuckface the authority to decree whether or not transgenger persons get to compete in women's sports?

NOWHERE.

Another unconstitutional edict.

"Tard" is not a word. If you look up "fucktard", you will see the dictionary definition is "a contemptible or stupid person".

Racist Fucktard Trump has revoked the Federal Government's nondiscrimination rule, which has had endless beneficial effects since it was promulgated by Lyndon Johnson. If you had any doubt whether Trump was a racist, this should dispel it.

Teachers who are teaching history this year and covering government or the Holocaust need prayers and support. I’m teaching the civil war, reconstruction, the new south, Jim Crow laws, and Civil Rights. The section on the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments will be interesting this year.

Go get 'em, George!

Shame on any member of Congress who meets with a recalcitrant, pardoned seditionist. Even if they can't feel the shame, we know this can't be tolerated in a democracy.

Gotta love the British press.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

AOC 🔥🎯

so said the late great Janey Godley.

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

Would be dictator Trump still has no plan for healthcare other than to diminish or dismantle Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare and similar insurances. And you know what? He never will have a plan. Because helping people isn't on his agenda.

Sometimes a Nazi Salute Is a Nazi Salute Did Elon Musk intentionally "sieg heil" at Donald Trump's inauguration rally? Sometimes it only matters what you do, not what you intend.

Perhaps the clearest take, from The Hollywood Reporter. Unexpected. But not the strangest thing I’ve seen in the past 2 days..

Hero.

This.

Trump is a racist bastard. Always has been.

He's a fucking mob boss.

Disgraceful.

Printed program published last week said Roberts,wonder if the thought made him puke?

It really doesn’t feel that cold outside.
