My law firm is currently litigation 81 voting and election cases in 40 states. This includes 11 redistricting lawsuits. It also includes 26 cases where we are litigating against the DOJ.
Elias Law Group only has 60 lawyers. Big Law firms have 1,000-2,000 lawyers. Where are they in this fight?

Don Lemon reported that outside a detention center in Minneapolis he was told Native Americans are being placed in internment facilities. The number and length of detention are unknown. The same facility was used to imprison Japanese Americans during WWII.

New study: “SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.” And if most or many people are getting infected once every 12 months, then when does their immune system have time to recover? Immune systems protect against colds & infections but also cancer & other diseases. #COVID

He’d come back to the ways of his childhood, before he’d been stolen & sent to prison at missionary school. Earth Mother had always been his ideal; to her he’d consigned his wife’s remains. And the first time he’d heard Elena’s voice in his head, he’d known she was not gone forever.

There can be no ‘up’ if there is no ‘down’. No ‘left’ without ‘right’. All things are relative. Equally, despite these chaotic and troubling times, the evil cannot exist without comparison to good. There is more good in this world and it will prevail. Embrace each other. 😊

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
