Butt Pics and Smart Dogs with Janet Varney

It's time to clear the docket and Friend of the Court Janet Varney is here to help us! Is the bathroom a good place for a portrait of your own butt? If you're at a sporting event, can you move to a better section if no one is sitting there? Judgments to these and more!

PLEASE NOTE: There is a conversation about an ICE raid happening at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles as we recorded this episode. This starts after the second break and ends after about 15 minutes.

If you are feeling helpless as this continues to happen in the U.S., consider becoming a monthly donor to Al Otro Lado. Al Otro Lado provides legal assistance and humanitarian aid to refugees, deportees, and other migrants trapped at the US-MX border. Donate at alotrolado.org/letsdosomething.

If you are in California, find your Rapid Response Network phone number here, in case you see ICE in your community. For more resources on what to do if ICE is in your community, visit CCIJustice.org. You can also visit ilapmaine.org for Maine-centered resources for Maine's migrant community and those protecting them.
