OPINION/INA S INSIGHTS: The country s Dreamers
Ina Michele Resnikoff
Just two weeks ago, the 800,000 young people born in America to undocumented immigrant parents, faced their own deportation since the Trump administration blocked the Obama-era orders that protected them, since 2012.
They got a tremendous break. But like many times in this see-saw of changing legislation and executive orders, these Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) residents are still in a virtual limbo.
President Obama had created the program to shield the children born to undocumented immigrants. The philosophy had been that these children didn’t ask where to be born, that they know no other home-nation, and that have contributed much to our society and communities.
Dispatch from Eastpoint: Requiem for an oyster and a way of life

(Editor’s note: this article originally appeared earlier this month in The Tallahassee Democrat)
There is, perhaps, no town in America that so profoundly reveals the human toll from a loss of a fishery than Eastpoint.
Perched on the edge of Apalachicola Bay, whose waters once provided 90 percent of Florida’s annual oyster harvest and 10 percent of the nation’s, tiny Eastpoint, population 2,000, is literally built on a foundation of oyster shells. Indeed, dig anywhere along the town wharf where fish houses have for over a century shucked and packed literally tons of the bivalves, shipping them to lands far and wide, and your shovel will hit nothing but oyster shells from five to 10 feet down.

Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward has filed a lawsuit alleging widespread problems with the 2020 vote count in her state.
Mail-in ballot signatures were not properly verified, she says, and some ballots were illegally duplicated. This resulted in President Donald Trump not receiving all of his votes, many of which were flipped and given to Joe Biden.
If these and other ballots issues were allowed to be examined, the lawsuit alleges, then it would become undeniably clear that Biden did not win the state of Arizona, and that it should have gone to Trump.
