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.

Something extraordinary and deeply humiliating is happening to the United States.

Canadians aren’t just skipping trips they’re quietly boycotting America.

In 2025, travel from Canada 🇨🇦 to the U.S. fell 40%.

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

Matt DeMateo recounts how three U.S. citizens, including a toddler, were tear gassed in Cicero by federal agents.

Rather than attempting to re-name the Kennedy Center, the Department of Defense, and Gulf of Mexico – how about naming the Dark Tetrad (psychopathy-sociopathy [ASPD] +  narcissism + Machiavellianism + sadism) after Trump?

Top story on Washington Post v Democracy Docket.

Federal law does not allow Trump cronies to change the name of the Kennedy Center, yet The Washington Post both-sides.

Federal law does not allow DOJ to access your voter data, DD headline is clear.

And many supporters of this travesty have the nerve to call themselves Christians!
What if one of the children being made semi-orphans or deported is the 2ND Coming of Christ?

At the very least blue mayors/govs need to fire & jail any cop cooperating with ICE!

Girl wanted to read. I wanted to climb. She asked if we could sit quietly and I declined. Because she's a sore loser, she ended up putting me back in my box after only about 10 minutes. She said I was too much turtle for her.
