The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

Then they came for people on tourist visas and student visas
Then they came for legal permanent residents
Now they are detaining U.S. citizens with no warrants and no due process

I could not be more proud to say that I am a WilmerHale alum. I joined what became WilmerHale in Boston in the late 90s. The fact that this firm has its foundations in Boston is meaningful. We don't do Kings in Boston and we don't tolerate government interference into the things we hold most dear.
