Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Amid so many outrages, the shocking arrest of grad student Rumaysa Ozturk by masked ICE agents for the *thought crime* of expressing a political opinion in an op-ed felt like a crossing of the Rubicon

Masked federal agents in an unmarked vehicle snatched a Tufts student off the street for an op-ed she wrote in a college newspaper.

Cautionary tales from a pediatrician in Amish country,- measles are not to be trifled with, get vaccinated, or if already vaccinated and in an outbreak area, get boosted!
Remember, children under one yr may not be safe in outbreak areas… vaccines generally administered at one or more yrs of age

I recommend Duke History Professor Nancy MacLean’s book “Democracy in Chains” for a well researched presentation of major drivers of our politics. Beware of promoters of constitutional convention “Trojan Horse” movements with hidden agendas. The very nature of our constitutional order is at stake.
