[S] I just got dual flu and COVID vaccinations. It felt oddly liberating. As subversive as voting. And I look forward to NOT being laid up in bed for two weeks with one of those ickies!
I got the flu bug that's going around in early October, before the new flu shots were even available, and felt incredibly sick for more than two weeks. So do get vaccinated, if possible, cause this is a nasty one.

I cannot wrap my head around this. Contempt. Sanctions. Discipline. All are warranted.
WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
