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.

That doesn't sound like something any one of us has control over. But on a more individual level, while it's easy enough to register to vote No Party Preference in the next election, is there a political party forming around the values the Democratic leadership is abandoning?

So far, Bluesky is missing several things I appreciate on FB. Chiefly, privacy controls, but also there's no good way to discover people you already know or stay in touch with them the way FB facilitates. Still, it's a promising alternative.

As a global news agency that disseminates news around the world, the AP must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all audiences."
