Nature lover & serious birder, concerned about protecting & preserving our natural heritage. Rabid anti-Trumper who's also worried that the "proud to be stupid" movement continues to grow in America. Enjoyed growing up in WV but happy to now be in Canada!

Federal judge appears skeptical of DOJ's argument for White House ballroom
While U.S. District Judge Richard Leon did not rule from the bench, promising a decision next month, his comments left little doubt about what way he's leaning.

Businesses shut down. Churches targeted. Protesters jailed. A 5-year-old taken by ICE. This isn’t law enforcement...it’s raw...corrupt power...flexing to see what Americans will tolerate. And that...is one hell of a question.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

I know we're all traumatized by Trump's re-election, but truly, I think we shouldn't believe that most Americans are falling for this "she was a fucking bitch, thus deserved to die" narrative.

I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump
Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY
And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇
