But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update.
Thanks, WSJ.
When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a βfree speechβ organization.

Patel has been busy dismantling the FBI and weakening it in order to prevent it from going after Trump.
A crisis shows up & they're desperate to use the resources of the FBI they weakened. It's a dark comedy playing out right now.
Now we know, they have no idea where the shooter is, or even who the shooter is...for that matter. I mean, what could go wrong when you have an FBI Director with no experience...and an idiot president who insisted on firing the most experienced and longest serving experts at the FBI.

Β§ 1225(b)(2)(A) (2018), Immigration Judges lack authority to hear bond requests or to grant bond to aliens who are present in the United States without admission.
π¨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond β expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; itβs 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; itβs 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
"Meanwhile, the very group that carried this nation through COVID, propped up the economy with essential labor, and saved democracy at the ballot box gets ghosted by both corporate America and the political elite."

Didn't think I could make it out of the chair but I did.
Still very upset about yesterday's SCOTUS ruling. Going to drop this π§΅ and then spend the day taking care of myself.
But if you don't understand what a slippery slope "not required to treat based on diagnosis is" then you don't know what's just been codified into law. 1/
Seeing the photos of Brad Landerβs arrest yesterday I ask again:
Why is the onus on protestors to be "peaceful" when the State brings violence? Why is "rioting" used to malign only the people fighting violence initiated by the State and its agents, and not those agents and that State?
Looks like that "White van filled with men that will kidnap you" story that scared us when we were kids is now 100% true
