Because some people have principles, and can recognize the longterm consequences of their decisions.
Choosing between your economic wellbeing and your principles is a difficult and tragic choice. But let's be honest, the partners that choose their wallet over their ethics are dishonorable, and they are now willing tools of the fascist regime.
They are one step away from being Nazis, and they should be treated as such.
I don't disagree. It's why I believe attorneys in these organizations should quit as I initially said. And why the populace must demonstrate that this behavior is unacceptable, also as I've said. Law firms aren't coming to save us though for reasons I've outlined above.
The people need to empower men and women of principle and in positions of authority to enact positive change. Our country has a history of leaving activists out to dry with little meaningful public pushback. Right now, no one is rescuing those retaliated against and it's a growing list: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/21/trump-retaliation-revenge-biden-security-clearance
What I'm hearing is partners of law firms don't want to take the risk of defying Trump without being certain of public support. Sounds like partners are happy to rake in the big bucks for their services, but when the going gets tough they bail.
