Senator Elizabeth Warren is sued for violating First Amendment over Amazon book censorship calls

Middle school teacher in Massachusetts sues after being fired over Facebook posts ...
“I don’t think they liked his sort-of conservative speech and the reasons why they fired him were exaggerated, and that’s illegal,” Gagliardi said.
The posts in question were made in the summer of 2020, amid the racial justice protests sparked by the death of George Floyd while in police custody. His posts criticized the idea of “white privilege” and “outward racism.”
In one of the posts, Lioji shared an article from 2019 published by Quillette titled “Why White Privilege Is Wrong – Part 1.” Lioji wrote:
“Anyone who says or writes white male privilege again is a RACIST. I will not condone that kind of racism. So unfriend me if you don’t like it because I am going to unfriend you when I see it. DONE.”
The lawsuit argues that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) shot mandate on facilities that receive federal funding for treating patients exceeds the agency’s statutory authority and violates the Social Security Act’s prohibition on regulations that control the hiring and firing of health care workers. It also violates multiple federal laws, the Spending Clause, the Anti-Commandeering Doctrine and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution.
“The Vaccine Mandate causes grave danger to vulnerable persons whom Medicare and Medicaid were designed to protect—the poor, sick, and elderly—by forcing the termination of millions of ‘healthcare heroes,’” the lawsuit reads.
The mandate violates the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution by seeking “to commandeer state-employee surveyors to become enforcers of CMS’s unlawful attempt to federalize national vaccine policy and override the States’ police power on matters of health and safety.”
The mandate targets about a quarter of the nation’s health care workers who have not chosen to get vaccinated, according to CMS.
Along with Montana’s Knudsen, attorneys general from Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and West Virginia are plaintiffs in the case.
The 12-state coalition filed the lawsuit and motion for a preliminary injunction November 15 in the U.S. District Court for Western District of Louisiana in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit was later consolidated with all other challenges nationwide into the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
A teacher from South Carolina has filed a lawsuit against the school district board and the superintendent claiming she was forced to resign over a post about mask mandates she made on her personal Facebook account. The lawsuit alleges wrongful termination.
Holly Chapman, a middle school teacher, was an employee of the Berkeley County School District until February this year. She was fired over a video she posted on Facebook criticizing mask mandates.
IL Health Care Employees Will Seek Damages from Shot Mandates
Dec 14, 2021
CHICAGO, IL – Liberty Counsel will ask the federal District Court of Illinois to certify the entire class of health care workers and will seek damages on behalf of those employees who have been unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate by NorthShore University HealthSystem.
Liberty Counsel asked the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene before the appeal is decided to prevent irreparable harm to NorthShore employees. Even though the Seventh Circuit denied the injunction pending appeal asking for emergency relief, the court granted the motion to expedite the appeal. This denial does not affect the merits of the case. In fact, on November 30, Judge John F. Kness said the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on Title VII and the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act.
In a 27-page decision, Judge Kness stated that NorthShore employees who prevail against NorthShore for its denial of religious exemptions and accommodations will be able to recover money damages including backpay, front pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys fees, and several other forms of damages. Since full compensation is available to those who win against NorthShore, the court concludes that the harms they are facing now are not “irreparable,” as they can be repaired through money damages.

Military Members Seek New Injunction Against COVID Vaccine Mandates
U.S. military members involved in a lawsuit challenging the military’s COVID vaccine mandate on Dec.10 filed an amended complaint seeking a new injunction after a judge last month rejected the U.S. Department of Defense’s assertion the Pfizer-BioNTech and Comirnaty COVID vaccines are “interchangeable.”
Point after point, directed right at the governor's insane policy.
There's a teacher shortage, we support local decision making, we've been safe since fall of 2020 without these rules, parents are concerned, and oh, by the way, the policy is racist.
This group of folks takes no prisoners.
The school district goes on to resolve to ask Newsom to reverse his decision.
And then, they also resolve to continue with their policy regardless.
They will not deny education, and they will not deny employment based on vaccine status.
A 2017 lawsuit alleging five pharmaceutical companies helped finance terror attacks against U.S. service members and other Americans in Iraq during the “War on Terror” was unanimously reinstated and remanded by a three-judge panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals.
The lawsuit against the five companies in question — Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Roche and GE Healthcare — was dismissed in July 2020 by a federal district court in Washington, D.C. before being reinstated last week.
The lawsuit claims the five companies regularly paid bribes, including free drugs and medical devices, to officials in Iraq’s Ministry of Health between 2005 and 2011, in their efforts to secure drug contracts.
In turn, the suit alleges, these companies’ contracts with the Iraqi health ministry helped “fund terrorism” perpetrated by a Shiite militia that killed Americans during that period.
The militia in question, Jaysh al-Mahdi, or the “Mahdi Army,” maintained control of the health ministry at that time.
The amended lawsuit was filed on behalf of 395 Americans who were killed or injured in Iraq during the six-year period.
For employees not wanting to get the jab ive been reading that people have had success responding with the following
One way to go about it is to require your employer provide proof that no employee can transmit any other communicable disease. An involved citizen writes:
"I made it clear through my lawyer I would begin to demand the status of all other employee's health condition in regards to other forms of communicable diseases. We would be demanding information on employees with AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, flu, STD, measles, mumps, and so on. My lawyer had the paper already drawn up so I could serve him (the employer) the first day he tried it, and part of the suit would be to force the company to immediately section off employees who had any Illness they could spread including the common cold. If they were going to take responsibility in stopping the spread of COVID-19 in the building, they were now liable for the spread of anything else.
Within 24 hrs we were all informed that they would no longer demand to see our papers."
In what may be the first legal case of its kind globally, a petitioner in India is seeking to prosecute Bill Gates, Indian vaccine czar Adar Poonawalla, and Indian government and public health officials over the death of a 23-year-old man who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield vaccine.
Kiran Yadav late last year filed a criminal writ petition for murder, Smt. Kiran Yadav v. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. (herein referred to as Yadav v. Maharashtra), with the Bombay High Court of Judicature, on behalf of her deceased son, Shri Hitesh Kadve.
Her son was vaccinated on Sept. 29, 2021. According to the complaint, he died that same day due to side effects brought on by the vaccine.
The complaint alleges Kadve died “due to [an] act of willful commission and omission attributable to some public servants who are misusing their position to bring policies to help the pharma mafia and thereby [are] responsible [for] mass murders.”
The complaint further states Yadav’s son was “unwillingly” compelled to get vaccinated based on the “false narrative” that the vaccine was entirely safe, and because the State of Maharashtra prohibited the non-vaccinated from riding on railroads or entering retail spaces such as shopping malls.

Workers will for now be able to opt for routine testing instead of vaccination.
Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) suspended professor Gregory Schulz days after he published an article criticizing the university. The administration suspended him without affording him an opportunity to answer to the misconduct allegations, according to Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
In an article published on February 14 by Christian News titled “Woke Dysphoria at Concordia.” Schulz accused CUW of “coming under the influence of Woke-ism (that is, a potent cocktail of Progressivism, NeoPragmatism, and Marxism).” According to him, that contradicts the university’s Lutheran principles.
On Friday, February 18, the university’s president William Cario emailed Schulz asking to meet that afternoon. Schulz did not make the meeting because he had classes to teach, so he asked to reschedule the meeting for the following Monday.
Cairo refused to reschedule and sent Schulz a notice informing him that he was suspended pending an investigation. He was accused of misconduct because the article was “conduct unbecoming a Christian,” disclosed confidential information, and violated certain limitations on academic freedom.
Schulz was suspended from teaching, banned from campus, and prohibited from contacting any member of the CUW community, including students and colleagues, without Cario’s permission. He was also threatened with further sanctions and termination if he did not publicly recant the article.
In a letter demanding Schulz reinstatement, FIRE notes that the suspension was conducted without due process, which the university promised in Schulz contract. He was not properly informed about the allegations nor was he given ample time to respond to the allegations.
We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.
FIRE also claims that the suspension was a violation of academic freedom, which includes the freedom to criticize an institution’s leadership.
Airline pilots sue to end airline mask mandates

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Workers required to get vaccinations for their jobs could sue if they have negative reactions under a Missouri bill advanced in the state House on Wednesday.
The Republican-led House voted 92-44 to give the measure initial approval. It needs another vote to move to the GOP-led Senate.
The measure would apply to any employer-required vaccines, although bill sponsor Rep. Mitch Boggs, R-LaRussell, said cited recent COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Under the measure, employers who make their workers get a vaccine could be held liable if workers experience negative side effects.
Proponents argued that bosses should be held accountable for medical complications if they make workers get vaccinated. Critics argued that private business owners should be allowed to decide whether to mandate vaccinations without the threat of lawsuits.

The story of Brook Jackson is a fascinating sequence of events that’s nowhere near the end of the story. I believe by the time this is over, Brook Jackson will be a household name and a widely regarded heroine. Back in September 2020, Brook worked at a company called Ventavia that was hired by Pfizer to run clinical trials for the Covid-19 vaccine. She alleges that in her short time employed at Vestavia, she witnessed serious medical misconduct and even straight-up fraudulent behavior by Ventavia and Pfizer that calls the integrity of the entire trial process into serious question. ...
The Lawsuit
Brook Jackson, on behalf of the People of the United States, is suing 3 companies for stealing ~2 billion dollars from the American people by selling 100 million vaccine doses to the US Govt/Dept of Defense under allegedly FALSE and FRAUDULENT pretenses.
Those 3 companies are:
Pfizer, Inc - Together with BioNTech in Germany, they manufacture and create the vaccines, sponsor the clinical trials, and report their findings to the FDA together with a request for approval of their product or an Emergency Use Authorization.
ICON PLC - An Irish company based in Dublin, ICON was contracted by Pfizer to oversee more than 160 clinical trial sites worldwide, and was responsible for monitoring protocol compliance and required information reporting of the clinical trial sites.
Ventavia Research Group, LLC - Ventavia is a company in Texas that runs numerous clinical trial sites throughout the state. Pfizer contracted Ventavia to run clinical trials for their vaccine at 3 of Ventavia’s clinical trial sites. Ventavia then reports results and submits information to ICON and Pfizer.

Finally, to expose and detail the specific crimes this organization has committed to extort commercial gain from, and raw political power over citizens of the United States of America and the world through the creation and use of bioweapons and engaging in bio-terrorism.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to prosecute the participants of the criminal organization for those crimes, to obtain justice, and to achieve monetary relief for the millions who have been injured and who have died at their hands. This incalculable injustice is the result of the criminal malfeasance of the individuals and organizations who forced the implementation of their experiments-in-a-syringe upon the world.

A Washington law firm has filed a federal lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for interfering with the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
The lawsuit was filed by Boyden Gray & Associates on behalf of three doctors who were disciplined for prescribing human-grade ivermectin to patients.
The firm’s founder, attorney Boyden Gray, is a former legal adviser to the Reagan and Bush administrations.
Gray told The Epoch Times that the FDA had violated well-established law that allows doctors to prescribe an FDA-approved drug as an off-label treatment.
Ivermectin was no different, he said. It was approved by the FDA in 1966.
“Congress recognized the importance of letting doctors be doctors and expressly prohibited the FDA from interfering with the practice of medicine,” Gray said.
“That is exactly what the FDA has done time and time again throughout this pandemic, assuming authority it doesn’t have and trying to insert itself in the medical decisions of Americans everywhere.”

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.
But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.
