“Rochester City Council rebukes Trump's lake renaming as 'flaccid stunt'”

A federal court judge has dismissed a case brought by the Trump administration against the city of #RochesterNY over its sanctuary status with prejudice, meaning the White House can't refile the same claim.
On Tuesday, Judge Frank Geraci ruled that the Department of Justice had failed to state a valid claim against the city.
“Once again, grandstanding of the Trump Administration has been found to be without any legal legitimacy,” Mayor Malik Evans said in a statement...
The DOJ ... alleged the city's policy to not aid or cooperate with federal immigration enforcement violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution ... and that the law obstructed federal immigration policy.
Geraci, in his decision, rejected all of those claims.
"Rochester’s Sanctuary City laws and policies are not a prohibition on or interference with the federal government’s role in enforcing immigration policy," he wrote. "Instead, they simply recognize the different functions of each governmental body. ... Sanctuary City laws and policies only dictate that Rochester Police Department and other Rochester employees cannot participate in civil immigration enforcement," he continued. "As such, they do not dictate how the federal government must act and therefore do not violate the intergovernmental immunity doctrine."
..."Lake Ontario is going to be Lake Ontario, just as the city of Rochester is going to be a sanctuary city," Melendez said...

Here it comes - Lightning zaps, loud thunder, downpour blotting out the view across the street in curtains! Probably won't last too long, but it's something to see while it does!
EDIT: I tried to catch a photo, but I can't time the photo snap to the lightning. Instead, grabbed a screen shot by pausing a video of the storm at the right moment.

Ontario Beach Park has long been my favorite outdoor place. Being near the great blue expanse of Lake Ontario always lifts my spirits. Walking on the pier to the light at the end is a favorite walk, encountering other walkers enjoying the fresh breeze, walking dogs, and passing people fishing along the way. Watching the gulls, the swallows, the ducks, the squirrels, always entertains and cheers. In the summer, the free concerts at the beach were a favorite date for me and Brian, joining the dancing foot-tapping crowd. Sometimes I'd go to the beach early in the morning when I had a day off from work, and just sit looking at the water and feeling the sky all around. Even in the winter, when the lake is gray and the pier railings are decked with strange shapes made of icy spray, this place is still charming and bracing.
My sister used to randomly show up and say to me, "Let's go see if the lake is still there!" Guess what? Lake Ontario is still there, and always will be!

Are you kidding me Google?
Google the first to surrender Lake Ontario to an unenforceable Executive Order.

Then vs. Now. Both seen this evening. Broken sign at an abandoned gas station reads Regular, $2.539. A mile or so down the street, an open convenience store is right now selling regular for $4.259.

#RochesterNY #Rochester #NewYork is a minor city in the #USA (with a rich history: #SusanBAnthony, #FrederickDouglass, #Kodak, #Xerox, etc)
Here I was today in only an outlying suburb, of only a minor city, and the #NoKings turn out was huge
Selected #posters I captured today in the below thread. I had to cap it at 25 posts:

Snowy branches over #IrondequoitCreek
This was nearly monochrome already, so I took it the rest of the way. From #EllisonPark in #RochesterNY. The creek flows north into #IrondquoitBay on #LakeOntario.
