I am a fervent supporter of the First Amendment (and the rest of the Constitution)--unlike ABC and Disney.

The Good Trouble March in Lower Manhattan today
A large crowd marching in Foley Square in NYC, with signs, in front of court buildings, on Good Trouble Day Two signs in NYC at the March today. One quotes the late John Lewis and his "Get in good trouble" words, and the other has his photo and says "Civil rights, due process, justice for all."

Here is my much-missed Bert. Adopted him from my vet's office when he was a kitten. (all of his siblings got adopted--and Bert was left alone and crying in the cage. Had no choice but to bring him home.)

Resting, after performing her civic duty.

Caitlin's only advice is: "Fill all five slots, and don't rank Cuomo!"
