Of course Finger Lakes cats 🐈 support Washington, DC, and an end to the takeover by Trump and his regime! We also support DC statehood. Give us a “gogo” if you agree! #freeDC #dcstatehood #flxcatladiesforamerica

Trump lies that other countries don’t use mail-in voting — and plainly says out loud that it’s about suppressing Democratic votes, not fraud

1. The Everglades detention camp, known as Alligator Alcatraz, has become a LEGAL BLACK HOLE.

Hundreds of people are being held at the facility without charges, without access to attorneys, and without the ability to contest their detention in court.

A legal black hole
