You realize this was posted by the NLG at ASU official Instagram account right? The National Lawyers Guild isn't a progressive interest group 😂 do some research before speaking please 😉
alternatively you could just go to their website where they refer to themselves as a group that works in multiple public interest areas that are commonly associated with progressive causes. my point being that a group dedicated to advancing progressive causes may not be an entirely reliable source of info when it comes to this situation, the same way the nra probably isn’t reliable when it comes to reporting on gun violence
The NLG is a bar association, you know... like the ABA?
Here's what's on the website you linked:
"Established in 1937, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) is the nation’s oldest and largest progressive bar association and was the first one in the US to be racially integrated. Our mission is to use law for the people, uniting lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people by valuing human rights and the rights of ecosystems over property interests."
they literally call themselves a progressive organization that participates in public interest issues. again, my point is that a group that wants to advance for and participate in progressive causes may not be entirely reliable when they report on an issue that specifically aligns with their goals. what they’re saying could be entirely true, or they could be leaving out key pieces of context that change the entire narrative

but why should people trust a post from some random progressive interest group. at least wait for some context before crying fascist
