Amongst other obvious things, the literal president of the US should have actual limits on what they can put out on social media. FFS this modern-era “(lack of) diplomacy by random midnight sh*tpost” is unserious, unprofessional, and so deeply dangerous.

I have long COVID. This is both harmful eugenicist rhetoric and utter horseshit. Before COVID, I ate healthy foods, walked 5-7 miles every day and ran half marathons and hiked. I literally climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. You cannot “health” your way into preventing disease or disability.

A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms. “[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

Skadden Resignation
Today the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an
"update" that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands for fealty and protection money. Fellow Skadden attorneys: If you agree with Jeremy London's position that the firm should not engage in "illegal DEI discrimination," should devote prestigious Skadden Fellows to the Trump administration's pet projects, and should help "politically disenfranchised groups who have not historically received legal representation from major national law firms," (taking into account the robust pro bono work that major national law firms already do), then by all means continue working there. But if that email struck you as a craven attempt to sacrifice the rule of law for self-preservation, I hope you do some soul-searching over the weekend and join me in sending a message that this is unacceptable (in whatever way you can). As one of my more eloquent former colleagues put it:
"Do not pretend that what is happening is normal or excusable. It isn't."
There is only one acceptable response from attorneys to the Trump administration's demands: The rule of law matters.
The rule of law matters. As an attorney, if my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them.

Splendid! Remembering this: “America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely.”

To be clear: I disagree with the paper of record, in that I am of the firm conviction that Kraft American Singles are a form of peaceful free speech, not vandalism. That shouldn't change just because Elon Musk sells cars that are unable to withstand contact with a single slice of processed cheese.

Much like the collective amnesia growing around importance of vaccines and its implications in the new measles outbreaks in the US, so much of our public health infrastructure, as with many Federal programs, will only be truly appreciated by some in its absence. This is needless danger to toy with.

there isn't some kind of metaphysical moral taint that attaches if you vote for someone you don't particularly like or who has some bad policies or who once did, or later does, something bad, the only relevant consideration is "is this person winning a preferable outcome to the other one"
