Took a walk yesterday at Sawgrass Park on a cool mid-60, blue-sky day. Saw two junior gators along the boardwalk. The blue jays and woodpeckers were very vocal and yellow-rumped warblers were chittering everywhere high in the trees. Peace. #stpete

There is no invasion, courts have found. And immigrants enrich our country immensely. Migrant crime is way less than domestic. You’ve run out of criminals to deport. Stop the sweeps. Stop building detention centers. Stop terrorizing communities.
