Trump eviscerating the legal world in the US. Fucking nightmare.
Skadden joins the New York powerhouse firm Paul Weiss in choosing to surrender to the Trump administration amid threats to their ability to access government contracts and maintain clients with such contracts. Unlike the situation with Paul Weiss, Trump did not even need to issue an executive order to get the firm to bend the knee.
Three other firms targeted by Trump — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block — have filed lawsuits challenging the orders targeting them. A federal district court judge already placed a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s actions against Perkins Coie, saying that it “sent little chills down my spine.”

„Gaza: Well-known writer opposes Hamas
The situation for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic, yet some Hamas leaders speak of a "historic" victory. The writer Akram Surani from Gaza City wrote an open letter to one of these leaders over the weekend. A death-defying step.“

“Surrendering to Authoritarianism”
by Chris Hedges in The Chris Hedges Report on Substack
“Liberal institutions, including universities, traditionally surrender without a fight to the dictates of autocrats. Ours are no exception”

Ari Cohn: "If I were a lawyer at PaulWeissLLP, I don't know how I would take myself seriously. This is absolutely shameful and spineless behavior. Pledging legal services to broadly support any administration's agenda is gross, but especially in this very protection racket way."

Why should #Ukraine #surrender?

From Heather Cox Richardson.
#Putin thanked #Trump and effectively #refused a #ceasefire. #Moscow openly #rejected the #US-#Ukraine 30-day #truce #proposal, calling it a tactic for #Ukrainian regrouping.
Putin demanded #surrender of Ukraine’s forces in #Kursk and elimination of the ‘root causes’:
1. Ukraine’s desire for #independence.
2. The #EU membership.
3. And #NATO aspirations.
It's partially aligning with Trump's stance.

#Americans will never be forgiven for what they're doing to #Ukraine.
Stripping them of air defenses in order for the #Russian #missile barrages to force #surrender.
Dear MSM,
Führer Trump has not ‘pivoted’ on Ukraine.
He has pivoted toward his master like an iron filing to a controlling magnet.
What he's done to Ukraine is a stab in the back.
His aim is the subjugation of Ukraine because he’s a Russian asset to Putin now—the West is dead to him, along with democracy and the US constitution.
Fuck you and your tender, ‘balanced’ nonsense.
Say it properly.
Peter Hegseth has surrendered to Russia by discontinuing all defenses against cyberattacks from Russia. The gates are now open for Russia to enter and do whatever damage it wants.
Michael McFaul: "Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov chooses his words carefully. He is not saying that US-Russia relations are improving based on win-win basis, blah blah. He is saying that Trump is embracing Putin's views. A complete victory for Putin. A complete capitulation for America." #politics #NationalSecurity #PutinsPuppet #surrender
It was only needed to make it look like #Ukraine is "unconstructive," "not interested in #peace," and "disrespectful and unthankful," therefore it is to blame for #Trump's failure to get an easy-peasy attempt to get "peace" from #putin to which Putin promised Trump oceans of gold if he forced Ukraine to #surrender and die.
