        You’re making a wise choice. When we feel a moral duty to stay up to date on things, it’s difficult to avoid burning out. In times like these, self care is more important than ever; if we don’t look after ourselves, it becomes harder for us to both support our community, and to receive support.

          at this point there’s little more to stay up with, frankly it’s all just the daily flavour of how things are getting more fucked up

      So, mostly agree. I enjoy his content. However… He, just like many others, waited until it affected them to start getting confrontational about the Trump administration. It wasn’t until the DC Bar Association was under attack that the content and message shifted from “this is my dry lawyer take on the end of humanity” to “holy fuck this is bad and this is why you should care about laws getting shit on with impunity”.

      Maybe I’m expecting too much but every time one of these public figures reacts with a “I didn’t think it could happen to me” I want to kick them in their proverbial nutsack.

        If you got faith in legal institutions against fascism, he’s great.

        But he is a lawyer through and through: effectively too mercenary to make an ideological stand for anything beyond that legalism.

          Well hes not a revolutionary nor is he even a political channel, hes a lawyer and he makes videos exclusively through the lens of a lawyer.
