The Georgia state flower should be Georgian! Contact your state representative and senator to voice your support for Georgia House Bill 955 that will change the state flower to a native species and permanently designate April as Native Plant Month! #nativeplants

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:
