October roses in warm hues for #RoseWednesday

A collage of nine close-up photographs of roses in soft pastel shades of cream, peach, pink, and white. Each bloom varies in form, from single and semi-double flowers to full, ruffled blossoms, all set against green foliage.

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Wishing you a wonder filled Wednesday, Friends 🌱
#RoseWednesday

This peachy pink double bloom rose is fragrant and disease resistant, although a real favorite of deer, so I am deeply grateful to have these blooms. Bred in France in 2006 by Alain Meilland. 'Sweet Mademoiselle' is her name.

From Gilroy and San Jose, California,
today and yesterday.

Two photos of roses.
One is a softly lit yellow and peach tinged rose.
The other is a bright white rose, looking up and slightly right, with light shadows among her petals.

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.
