For those who were not raised with decent “home training”, the only proper response at a time like this is to express sympathy and well wishes. And if you can’t do that, silence works.

ICYMI: The Trump admin asks the full Second Circuit to rehear the Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi cases after a 3-judge panel found that federal district courts were authorized to hear the cases (& release plaintiffs on bail). This is a real long shot. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
