It is patently unlawful; and good for Perkins Coie! Trump is relying not on legality but on big firms' being scared to challenge him.

✅ DEI Fact of the Day™

The 3 largest corporations in the U.S. publicly state their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Collective market cap of Apple, NVIDIA, and Microsoft is $8.7 trillion.

I spent some time on x yesterday. Felt like a journey though the seedier and poorer parts of a city not often exposed. Rampant racism, howling about Musk’s posting derangements, all the ugly about life… felt like watching bad news… post after post, reel after reel.
The United States is so broken and damaged, it has elected a CRIMINAL as its next president. What a horrible county.
