Orlando restaurateur Trina Gregory turned 49 parking spots at Se7en Bites into art canvases to protest Florida’s ban on rainbow crosswalks. “If they want to erase symbols of pride and acceptance, then we’ll create even more,” she said.

I had two clients kidnapped at court on Tuesday. Married couple, political protestors fleeing a dictator. Nicest people you'd want to meet. Did everything right. Requested asylum, filed paperwork, showed up to court, got work permits, hired a lawyer.

Memorial Day is set aside to honor and MOURNS those who died in service to our country. Not a day for mattress sales and drinking. We visited graves of our war dead on Memorial Day, except for an uncle whose plane was shot down in Italy fighting against fascism in WWII. There was no body to recover.
