Even this supreme court has said the way in which ice is "doing the work" that they're doing isn't constitutional. As in, the way in which "federal agents need to do it" is being done right now is literally ill

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not here, so this is the genuine answer to your question. Peer-reviewed, published research does not support any kind of link between vaccines and autism: not a link by correlation, not a link by

This is a foolish take, because it ignores the thousands of workers who distinctly aren't high rollers. It's hard for me to see the moral difference between 'public workers pension fund' and 'workers trying to feed
