“One leaf or one flower to memory will bring The light of thy beauty, the hope of thy spring.” – Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802-1838) #RoseWednesday
An apricot rose blooming in the golden light of autumn, its softly unfurling petals glowing in delicate shades of peach, warm yellow and blush pink. The richly layered, cupped flower is set against a softly blurred background of green foliage.

The Trump administration continues to use the deportation machine to attack political opponents, this time sending ICE agents to search Representative Ilhan Omar's home. Add your name to our petition and demand that these blatant abuses of power end immediately.

Stop the Abuse of Power. Stop Unfounded Arrests of Public Officials.
The Trump administration is turning the power of the federal government against anyone who doesn’t toe the line – whether it's members of Congress, mayors, judges, or protesters. Take action now.
