Too many jerks at firms or are we oversensitive? Plus, DC Bar election blowout! Why? Leading a Bar in '25 means standing up to power. Pam Bondi's bro didn't convince members. This fear of strong Bars led FL to kneecap theirs! tinyurl.com/32a6bvzf

Skadden Associates Plotting Protest Against Cowardly Firm - Above the Law Now's not the right time to ask associates to try and convince other people to work for Skadden.

I'm going to write something new today, but the white media quest to normalize the idea of ending birthright citizenship has been going on for some time. Yesterday was the capstone of the white supremacist project on this issue. Here's me from 6 years ago on @abovethelaw.com
