It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

to be clear, this is what mass deportation looks like: going after parents, grandparents, neighbors, workers, people building (or who have built) American lives who have done more to enrich their communities than any person serving in this monstrous administration

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

I'll note that Elon is claiming that the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker is somehow hypocritical (it's not) but he is NOT CHALLENGING OUR ANALYSIS.

That's because our analysis is correct.

Seeing these posts framed as “discouraging” people from doing it or dunking on them. That’s not what it is. Participate! But view it for what it is, a first step that is merely symbolic, and then commit to doing more. See how long you can go without buying from Amazon. Maybe you’ll stop entirely
A single day of not shopping isn’t going to show them anything. Delete all of your Meta accounts and Twitter, boycott the companies doing their bidding permanently, not for one day

Stopping all of this requires persistence, not one day of performance

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.
Electricity generation has always felt like an impossible engineering problem. Demand has to match supply - yet we managed that with ancient, all-analog equipment for over a century.

Now we have so many more tools at our disposal. Why should this be hard?
