I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

I am fascinated by tubeworms and take ridiculous quantities of photos of them. These seasonally appropriate Christmas tree worms retract into their tubes quickly at the slightest disturbance so it's good practice to hover motionless while getting the shot. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans #coralreef

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.
Supreme Court case about ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ highlights debate over truthful advertising standards
There are some 2,500 of these centers across the United States. Many are located within a mile of an abortion provider.

Disgusting behavior by ICE, though not at all surprised: The "I'm better than YOU" attitude stands out.
RUTHERFORD COUNTY: “Her whole focus is regaining custody of her daughter.”
Woman gives birth in custody, ICE separates from her baby for 35 days even after all charges dropped - locked up in Louisiana while her newborn is in state custody in Tennessee.

Rick Grennel achieved a dream today by denying a Black woman her vote.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
