A federal judge ruled on Friday that there was a “realistic likelihood” that the indictment filed against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March and then brought back to face criminal charges, amounted to a vindictive prosecution by the DOJ.

A stand of maple trees with leaves in shades of orange, red, and yellow are rooted in a field of golden brown grasses. The sky is cloudy and mountains can be seen in the distance.

Was hoping to see some eagles this morning, but while there weren't too many birds, there was some nice colors and clouds.

Federal Judge issues restraining order barring DHS use of riot control weapons "on members of the press, protestors, or religious practitioners who are not posing an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer or others" — in part because of this incident. ⤵️

d. Using riot control weapons-including kinetic impact projectiles (KIPs), Compressed Air Launchers (e.g., PLS and FN303), Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Spray, CS gas, CN gas, or other chemical irritants, 40 mm Munitions Launchers, less-lethal shotguns, Less-Lethal Specialty Impact-Chemical Munitions (LLSI-CM), Controlled Noise and Light Distraction Devices (CNLDDs), Electronic Control Weapons (ECWs)-on members of the press, protesters, or religious practitioners who are not posing an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer or others;

e. Using riot control weapons (including those described above) at identified targets, if it is reasonably foreseeable that doing so could result in injury to the press, protesters, or religious practitioners who are not posing an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer or others, unless such force is necessary to stop an immediate and serious threat of physical harm to a person;

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

Here's a juvenile great horned owl from a couple of years ago.

An osprey had just swooped over the branching owls, and this owl got very excited and started spreading its wings.

Porch tulips are ready for a long winter nap.

Also planted hyacinth (for @winniethewoot.bsky.social), anemones and lamium in DMH's woodland garden, and erythroniums in the Seuss garden for me.

More tulips, Bluebells, and fritillaries tomorrow.🌱

40 tulip bulbs in a shallow round planter waiting to get covered with soil. They will bloom in three shades of pink and light purple

Old oaks at Lochwood near Moffat. Oaks can live 1000+ years and are a 'keystone species' supporting ~2,300 UK species including the dainty purple hairstreak butterfly (which relies entirely on oak to survive.) We didn't spot one. But we did see a cheeky frog bouncing around in the leaf litter! 1/2
