BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law. I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

I got about $75 less. But also I do my withholdings with way too much thought so I give the government the smallest amount for the interest free loan we all give them. I got no new fancy (and fictitious) extra money back deductions

Except i’d say it’s more like Gallipoli if you look at the geography of little to no beach and mountains above! I’ve been to Gallipoli (Gelibolu) when I lived in Türkiye and it’s no surprise it was an Allies defeat when you see the geography of the place. He needs to open a history book

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
