AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>And another white shoe DC law firm decides to capitulate to fascism rather than fight; even as their colleagues at other firms are successfully getting restraining orders to block Trump's strongarm tactics. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (typically shortened to just "Skadden") joins the firm Paul Weiss on the wall of infamy and cowardice, with a "deal" that's even more collaborationist with, again - fascists and a fascist agenda. </p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/skadden-arps-deal-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/skadden-</span><span class="invisible">arps-deal-trump</span></a></p><p>'Pathetic': Elite Law Firm Blasted for Striking Deal With Trump Administration</p><p>"The firm has agreed to provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal services to the federal government during his administration "and beyond," according to a Truth Social post from U.S. President Donald Trump. Also, the "firm will not engage in illegal" diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) "discrimination and preferences," according to the post, which also noted that the firm proactively reached out to the administration about an agreement.</p><p>Speaking at the White House on Friday, Trump called the deal "essentially a settlement," according to Reuters.</p><p>"Pathetic when the richest and most powerful lawyers in America won't stand up for the profession that made them rich and powerful," wrote U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on X on Friday, reacting to earlier reporting that the firm was in discussions with the White House over a deal."</p><p>In addition to the $100M of pro bono work for the Trump regime, other outlets are reporting that Skadden has promised to offer fellowships to "conservative" (so, fascist, because conservative means fascist in this political environment) law graduates, and take cases for conservative causes - which I think we can safely parse to mean things like "reverse racism" lawsuits, and anti-gender discriminations cases that involve "protecting women" by persecuting trans women. Did I mention that Skadden took these steps preemptively, as in before Trump even issued an executive order targeting them? </p><p>As in the case of Paul Weiss, and various wealthy Universities in America, the simple truth is that these folks are choosing to actively collaborate with fascists, and reinforcing the twisted unreality imposed by a fascist regime, for nothing more than money. We have a term for people who help fascists, do fascism, for money - it's fascist collaborator, or simply just "fascist." Like all the others, Skadden thinks they're striking a deal to stop Der Führer's assault on their very lucrative enterprise; and like the others, they'll soon discover that they work for Trump now, and there's no amount of appeasement that will change that.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigLaw</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Skadden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skadden</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Collaboration</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/VichyEstablishment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VichyEstablishment</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Courts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a></p>
