SCOTUS orders Biden admin to reinstate "Remain in Mexico" policy...

[link removed]

Welcome to Thursday, August 26th, newspapers and magazines,

SCOTUS rejected an appeal by the Biden administration to temporarily block a lower court’s order that it reinstate the Trump era Migrant Protection Protocols.

The Trump era policy forced people to wait in Mexico while seeking asylum in the U.S.

In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the Court’s conservatives held that the Biden administration “failed to show a likelihood of success on the claim that the memorandum rescinding the Migrant Protection Protocols was not arbitrary and capricious.”

** Sharia Law in Afghanistan
------------------------------------------------------------


**
------------------------------------------------------------

In its previous reign in Afghanistan, the Taliban barred most women and girls from working and denied them access to education and health care. Women couldn’t leave their homes without wearing a burqa (a full-body modesty garment) or being chaperoned by a male relative.

The Taliban’s longtime spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, vowed that under their new rule, women will be allowed to work and study, and their rights respected “within the framework of Islamic law” or Sharia.

Despite assurances, there are signs that the Taliban is returning to its former ways. In some areas of Afghanistan, women’s clinics and girls’ schools have been closed, and women again have been told not to leave home without being accompanied by a male relative.

NursesEverywhere is a voluntary, nonpartisan coalition of healthcare leaders launched in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of helping ensure that Americans have access to the nursing care they need.

Their first project was to listen to the public and obtain their views about nurses and access to nursing care with a specific focus on their care during the COVID-19 emergency.

Data was collected from The Harris Poll and showed that the public wants nurses to play a greater role in their health and wellbeing, now and into the future.
