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?

Scientifically inaccurate. Conceptually incoherent. Fearmongering nonsense. So it will likely pass.
🚨We MUST work together to do more to counter this bunk. Rise up for reason!🚨
