An Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) pauses at the feeder in our kitchen window. (Apologies for the dirty glass!) #BirdOfTheDay #RedOrDead #Birds #Photography #ColorADay #RedWed #EastCoastKin

An Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) perches on the red base of a feeder, looking up and to the left while pausing during her meal. It's a small, gray bird with a greenish-grey crown and speckles on the throat.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

A Meadow Pipit perches sideways on the curved seed head of a dark purple grass, its finely streaked brown upperparts and cream underparts sharply in focus against a smooth green background. The bird grips a large reddish earthworm in its slender bill, likely carrying food back to a nest or recently fledged young. Its alert dark eye and slightly raised crown feathers give it an attentive expression, while the soft, blurred backdrop draws full attention to the delicate plumage and the vivid contrast of the red worm against the bird’s pale face.

The Judicial Branch (below SCOTUS) is holding the line so far, but the courts aren’t designed for speed. They can only hear the cases that come before them, & can only go so fast w/o risking reversals by hasty (whether real or perceived) judgment. The Legislature is designed to stop a rogue Exec.

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.
