ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

I contracted measles 9 days postpartum because the hospital was hiding an outbreak and I didn't know I'd been exposed. They did almost nothing to limit others exposed to me. To this day I regret not suing (I lost the first 3 months of my daughter's life, and I'll never get that back) 2/3

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

I can’t imagine how chilling this must be.
Because that’s the point of open carry, isn’t it? It’s the threat. The threat that you might be fatally shot over something you say.
I imagine men embrace the open carry on campus in greater numbers than women.
But disparate impact doesn’t matter 🤷🏻♀️

RE: Planned Parenthood Federation of America v. Kennedy #CA1
Don’t get confused by articles blaming affiliates. The language of Section 71113 is purposely vague and overbroad!
It makes it harder for clinics to comply with state plans. GOP politicians know this; they know how reimbursement works!

Planned Parenthood Federation of America argued S.71113 was an unconstitutional bill of attainder, violated its 1A right to associate & its equal protection rights.
CA1 ruled PPFA is unlikely to succeed on these claims, so the prelim injunctions were invalid & must be set aside. PPFA loses for now.
