Happy Birthday to those celebrating their birthday in October!

The background is indigo blue, the next layer is light orange with pink & orange balloons tied with ribbons & bows. The birthday cake has a big heart decoration in black with Happy Birthday in orange sitting on top of the cookies. The cake has light orange icing, covering the of top of the cake has a variety of cookies and decorations. Text: Celebrating all October Birthdays! Happy Birthday! “October is associated with a dominantly warm color palette: tiger orange, burgundy—as well as a pop of indigo blue. The orange & burgundy are reminiscent of a season of pumpkin patches, mulled wine & meandering rides along roads lined with vibrant, changing leaves. The blend of blue & violet in Indigo is often associated with deep-thinking, self-reflection, & evoking a sense of calmness & relaxation, ideal for October, a month of big change.”

Thank you. Thank you for reposting. To me, this is domestic terrorism, ICE are terrorists. ICE needs to be held accountable for deaths they have caused. There should not be any lawless groups assaulting & killing people anywhere.

I’m joining 22 AGs in speaking out against the political prosecution and persecution of New York Attorney General Leticia James.

We will not stand idly by while justice is upended, and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas.

Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that — demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment.

None of us, whether our states’ top legal officials or members of the public, should stand idly by while justice is upended and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas. The Trump-directed arms of the executive branch have arrested a sitting member of Congress, charged the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and criminally investigated a governor of the Federal Reserve, among other retaliatory and politically motivated pursuits. These kinds of prosecutorial abuses are the hallmarks of police states and authoritarian regimes — not America’s democracy.

We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. We commit to doing all we can to ensure that the rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice.”
