#ribsforRBG I’m in. We need to organize a 24/7 protection zone around her.

Ginsburg is recovering well, according to her nephew, as quoted in Reuters.
Daniel Stiepleman said the associate justice was "up and working" and "doing great."
“The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,” he said. “I can’t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes.”
