Now that Trump has 98% won, any potential direct impacts for us as black Attorneys? I feel like we have been feeling the heat already so couldn’t be worse, right? right?!

I agree with you. While trying to rationalize the stupidity of the country, I think non-black people are still mad about all of the DEI efforts that were made in 2020. This is the whiplash effect. I’m not just disappointed. I am disgusted.

I think it depends on what you're doing. For instance, I know that government employees are going to take some heat. My friend is an immigration attorney, and while Trump's policies are good for business, the emotional impacts are going to be serious. I'm concerned about how certain industries may be impacted. Like with these proposed tariffs, I can see the layoffs that have been rampant in big tech continuing.

A1: I meant Trump's policies will lead to more people looking for immigration attorneys to assist them with their status. More folks will be calling, trying to save loved ones(or themselves) from deportation.
