That’s the rule in state parliaments, where there is no section 44.
My mum grew up in Minneapolis. Like me, she is horrified to see ICE terrorise the city. She is also proud to see residents rally to save their neighbours and protest against tyranny.

Happy Midsumma Melbourne!
Our Southern Lights Ice Hockey stall had more interest than ever before. Thanks, Heated Rivalry 😂🏒🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Wait - they don’t come from the right… or the left… ?
I don't usually post clips from my ice hockey matches, but I was pretty proud of stopping this 2 on 1 breakaway last night.

Today I gave a presentation. Someone came up to me afterwards and said I was so convincing and would make a really good conman 😂.
I’ll take the compliment!
(*I told her I’d make a terrible conman because I’m an awful liar.*)
