True patriot.
Thank you for reminding us we cannot remain silent.
I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. Iβm not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

The apocryphal Margaret Mead saying was the first sign of human civilization wasn't tools or human artifacts but human skeletons leg w/bones that had healed.
Breaking a leg was a death sentence without others to care for, defend, & feed the injured person.
Mead may not have said it but it's true.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is "watching" the outbreak, which he described as "not unusual" during a Wednesday meeting of President Donald Trump's cabinet members. The health secretary did not provide specifics on how or if the federal agency is assisting on the ground.

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday.

27 religious groups are suing the federal government in response to the Trump administration's policy giving immigration agents more leeway to make arrests at "sensitive locations" like churches.

The administration cannot choose which law it will follow or ignore. These are not partisan or political issues. These are rule of law and process issues. We cannot afford to remain silent. We must stand up for the values we hold dear. The ABA will do its part and act to protect the rule of law. We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."
Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

Just appalling.

If I worked at a newspaper, Iβd ask why we have to keep coming up with novel phrases like βmass detention campβ to describe Trumpβs plans instead of using a more familiar term.
