Part two of The War Horse's series on deported veterans. " When veterans are granted humanitarian parole, volunteer groups raise money to help them pay for flights back to the country they fought for. They work to find housing—sometimes it comes through and sometimes it doesn’t.'' (1)

Veterans cross the border, moving from non-U.S. soil to U.S. soil, from being a deported veteran to being a homeless veteran. The work permits that could help pay for rent can take months to be approved—and sometimes even longer than the veterans’ year-long parole."

@elieNYC: ElieNYC; Question: If I write "strange women lying in ponds is no basis for a system of government"... does anybody under 40 know what I'm talking about?
Do I have to cite it lest someone thinks I made that up myself?

Should I just give up because I am old and need to be put in a home?

@The19th re today at SCOTUS "A large share of questioning during Wednesday’s oral arguments came from the court’s four woman justices — liberals Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and conservative Amy Coney Barrett — who all voiced skepticism toward Idaho’s position, noting that without EMTALA’s protections, physicians in Idaho could face legal jeopardy." https://19thnews.org/2024/04/supreme-court-idaho-emtala-abortion-emergencies/

" In the whole of 2023, before Idaho’s law was in effect, only one pregnant patient presenting to St. Luke’s with an emergency was transferred out of state for care. Yet in the few months the new abortion law has been in effect, six pregnant St. Luke’s patients with medical emergencies have been transferred out of state for termination of their pregnancy."
