I agree, you might add #LawFedi, #FediLaw, #Legal, and #LegalNews to your text for reach.

Also, a headline helps quite a bit, as well as an image or link.

Also, this reminds me of Russia's treatment of lawyers having defended political dissidents.

@HistoPol
The legal community has to call the authoritarianism=enabling law firms to task,. Not just through institutions like the bar, but privately, through social pressure.

So, I'm sending S&C and Jones Day lawyers I know Judge Howell's opinion (assets.bwbx.io/documents/users…) and a couple of Timothy Ryback's great articles (theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… and theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…).

Not spamming. Just a reminder of the stakes. And their roles in supporting an authoritarian takeover.
