"In 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to DOJ attorneys warning against nationwide injunctions and arguing that the 'trend must stop.'" (It hasn't.) https://www.thebulwark.com/the-judge-with-the-king-complex/

‘Teachers’ Bill of Rights’ sails through Florida Senate committee https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2023/03/06/desantis-education-unions-salaries-vacancies/
SB 256 would increase the required percentage of teacher participation to maintain union certification. It would not allow unions to collect dues through school district paycheck deductions. It also would prevent unions from distributing information at school district properties.

Local teacher union leaders took a dim view...latest attempt to stifle collective bargaining...

I've never stopped masking, but I thought people were overreacting when they suggested that masks would go from socially demonized to outlawed.

To those people, I apologize. And of course it's Eric Adams because even a city with NYC's track record of terrible terrible mayors, he manages to be the worst.

In February, the CDC quietly added this update to its guidance for certifying deaths due to #COVID19.

"Documented serious post-COVID-19 conditions include cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, and gastrointestinal complications, as well as death."

They've also given "long Covid" an official name: PASC (Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19).

@rchusid @usernameswift After moving a test in my class to online rather than in person due to a #COVID outbreak, I posted how one of their freedoms in the "free state of Florida" (quotes for #irony ) is that they absolutely can wear masks when not feeling well or wanting to keep feeling well. Of course, I framed it that way because we faculty in the #FreeStateOfFlorida are not allowed to mandate masks in our classrooms.

One hundred sixty-six years ago today, March 6, 1857
Dred Scott v. Sandford
(1857)

On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion of the Court, which stated that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and, therefore, could not expect any protection from the federal government or the courts. The opinion also stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery from a federal territory. It moved the nation a step closer to the Civil War.

I appreciate those who share photos via #CatsOfMastodon. The joy people take in their cats is contagious.

Yep
