YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Philadelphia lawmakers introduce 'ICE Out' legislation to restrict federal operations in city

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE.

It ISN'T a done deal.

Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.

That's the way this shit works.

CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

It’s the fourth day of Christmas! Have some more birds. (Two or three different Steller’s jays, a dark-eyed junco, and a golden-crowned sparrow)

Mountains with snow and low floaty clouds

Orange blossoms in the winter in Missouri love the smell. Sleep well all.

I've been lacking anything really flowery or macro of late; most plants are sensibly hiding from the frost, as are their tiny six legged helpers. As some light and color in the bleak winter, how about some rose shaped #bloomscrolling from the summer

Enough conversation about graffiti and tagging. Let’s talk about pure unadulterated Mother Nature at its most shining example. Crater Lake does it for me every time.💕😊

Watercolour of gardens in #Winchester with the cathedral in the background. This was done on one of several sketching visits in the '90s. You can soak up history in Winchester which has a wonderful atmosphere, dank and timeless, very nostalgic for me.

Why do dogs tilt their heads? New study offers clues “Gifted” dogs often make the gesture before correctly identifying a toy

Thank you all for posting Anne Frank...
I was fortunate to visit Anne's house in Amsterdam
It takes your breath away

And thank you for making me realize once again
Keep her spirit as an inspiration ...never give up

A single white flower catches soft light while surrounded by large green leaves on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The bloom stands out against the darker foliage in a calm, shaded setting.

In the shade on St. John, this white bloom caught just enough light to stand out from the leaves — one of those soft details worth stopping for.

If you enjoy seeing the world from new angles, I’d be glad to have you along.
