#OTD in 2022, the New York Times Guild goes on #strike.

"According to both the Times and the NewsGuild, the newspaper has a limited history of such work actions. Journalists staged lunchtime walkouts a couple of times over the past decade. In 1981, the guild struck for six-and-a-half hours. In 1978, it put up a picket line that lasted less than a day at the tail end of the paper's press operators' strike."

Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen.

This is madness.

I used to think (in my naivety) that a judge on the Supreme Court was the smartest in the Judiciary — cream of the crop, top of the line…

But damn I can see that’s not true because this is some A-class manipulation and gaslighting by Trump Administration lawyers—

And it makes sense that the people directing #Trump during his first term would put judges in #SCOTUS who would roll over for him.
