A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

WHO'S HUNGRY NOW, BITCH?

Can I get to the point in my life where I can afford an abandoned warehouse/school/church and convert it into the home of my dream already?

Not whatever this is

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Jesus Christ... I didn't think I'd get "watched a rocket explode while driving" on my Florida bingo card...... Didn't need to. Really didn't need to

Driving on the highway in South Florida and watching that with zero context was not a fun time 🫠🫠🫠

Thought it was a plane and got very concerned

Thank you failed SpaceX rocket for giving me the WORST FUCKING HEART ATTACK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TONIGHT!

Was I expecting to watch something break apart in the sky while driving to my hair appointment? No. Did I think I was witnessing a tragic plane accident? Yes.

Fucking hell

King MuskTrump is NOT pro-life.

The truth is disgustingly obvious and …. Ignored…

Quite the message from the guy running our government

Transitioning An Indoor/Outdoor Cat to Indoor Only • Feline Engineering Outdoor access carries risk for a cat's health and safety. It can also lead to behavior problems. Here's how to transition your cat to a fully indoor life.

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

Go to a thrift store and they start playing Macklemore's Thrift Shop 😂

My dad ranting about how he didn't know my mom had to go to the doctor's and do physical therapy for months until he saw the receipts that were mailed. A couple of years ago.

Me completely unaware that this even occurred 😭

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

Avian flu ‘would dwarf the COVID pandemic in terms of impact,’ researcher says For scientist Dr. Richard Webby, the biggest ‘uh-oh’ moment was when the virus infected cows

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones.

Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed.

Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

A tweet from "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen" ( @NoLieWithBTC ) stating: "The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston has been closed indefinitely due to Trump's executive order causing their workers to be laid off. 'Without them, we are unable to stay open.'" Below the tweet, there is an image split into two parts. On the left, there is a photo of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library at dusk, with its distinctive modern architecture and an American flag design on the facade. On the right, there is a close-up of a sign that reads: "Due to the executive order, the JFK Library will be closed until further notice."

He’ll just keep crapping on everything good.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

Safe Space Dinners, a ministry for homeless LGBTQIA+ youth, including people of color. The ministry is simple. On the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, these youth (14-23 years old) are offered a safe space and time to gather for a time to rest and recharge, a home-cooked meal, and a backpack of items they will find helpful in their day-to-day life. There is no preaching, no conversion therapy attempts; only support and comfort. This is a ministry of giving – nothing more. Want to Attend? We welcome those who ● Identify as LGBTQIA+ ● Are without stable housing or between places ● Are between the ages of 14 and 23 ● Would like to attend

What I'm saying is that if you want a way to help homeless queer kids in South Carolina, this is an incredible way to do it.

The work they do is amazing. Check em out.
