Note the two new things happening here:
• This is a challenge brought by patients that was granted.
• DOJ has started scaling back the subpoena requests in light of the growing losses in court.

I don’t want to hear anyone giving the “the problem is ILLEGAL immigration” lecture ever again. Or lecturing anyone who’s undocumented for not “following the law” when the government doesn’t.
Damned if you do; damned if you don't. The government spent months turning immigration court into a deportation trap.
More immigrants are not showing up for their mandatory immigration court hearings compared to prior years, an NPR analysis shows, allowing the government to order their immediate deportation. n.pr/4saLnem

I don't like to share this, but I'm most likely descended from a signer of the Declaration... as are thousands of Black Americans. (It wasn't just Jefferson, most unfortunately.)
Black Americans don't count as American to MAGA unless we parrot their rhetoric. (And really, not even if we sell out.)

All these children in my life use aesthetic as a noun AND an adjective. They want to talk to me about “my” aesthetic. Apparently, “ABD - Always Be Dope” is not a sufficient aesthetic.
None of these people have jobs. Which I keep telling them.

Like, you can’t even compare it to previous political satire because it’s so ridiculous. If Kafka were alive today he would be thanking every deity imaginable that he only woke up as a cockroach.
We have the worst person ever born convincing other people they can be their worst selves.

I borrowed this cabin in the woods with the goal of writing 30,000 words in 9 1/2 days toward my next book, SNOWBLIND. With a day and a half to go, I'm at 25,500 words. I might actually hit my goal before I leave.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
