The President’s attacks on the legal profession, judges, and the rule of law violate our democratic values. I invite members of the legal community to sign this letter to ask Attorney General Bondi to oppose attacks on the legal profession.https://democracyforward.org/action/open-letter-ag/

I read this about 1.5 years ago. It is a riveting, quick read. Completely Applicable to Us now.
Related, I just recommended this book by Masha Gessen to a friend. Some of you might appreciate it.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
