Temporary Protected Status?

A federal judge in California temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plans to terminate the legal status of about 300,000 immigrants who fled violence and disaster in Haiti, Sudan, Nicaragua and El Salvador.

In a decision late Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Edward M. Chen in San Francisco found substantial evidence that the administration lacked “any explanation or justification” to end the “temporary protected status” designations for immigrants from those countries.

At the same time, he said there were “serious questions as to whether a discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor” in the administration’s decision, which would violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.

He cited statements by President Trump denigrating Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians and Africans, including his January remark about “people from shithole countries” and his June 2017 comments stating that 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS.”

Allergens & Users beware

When "that" friend allergic to everything tells you how to stick them with their epipen in case of danger you think; yeah I don't know if I am qualified, Although it turns out there is a great reason to be concerned. The drug is very expensive creating a lack of accessibility , but there are new competitor on the block.

For the bad news there are a climbing number of people dying from opioids. More than 72,000; what are we doing to remedy this? Suing Pharmaceutical companies, fighting the war against drugs or maybe nothing just lighting up again?

"The press is not the enemy of the people"- US Senate

Press is what it implies, the facts, perspectives and opinions of the masses compiled to educate and inform. Through the history press has been the victors of the people but also weapons of mass destruction. We can not forget the death of Princess Diana but also the desperate need for information through the press during World War two, the Civil War and during the Civil Rights Movement. The concern of the press is in the opportunity; discernment needs to be taken when you seek information but the lack of information is yet even more dangerous there in the lack of education bear ignorance, violence and repression. Let's remember a grain of salt. Select the image to read an article, take with a grain of salt; about our press and our governement.
