Very crafty. There's all sorts of ways cities can gum up the works against the ICE concentration camps.

Today's #photooftheday is one of those images that, when I look at it, it always conjures up the accompanying audio. This burly chap was cawing his heart out when I snapped him.He was so intent on his song that he let me get almost within touching distance. #birdphotography #photography

A mostly brown dog with black edges and some white in her face and feet pins her ears back while standing on a porch in front of snow.

So far this year, I have bought a new van, filed taxes, planted two new trees, had a full week of hives, attended one wedding, turned 40 years old... and lost my amazing, one-of-a-kind retired service dog 4 months before her 16th birthday.

2026 has already been one hell of a year.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I was feeling pretty positive about having 4 guys in my house, ages 14-50 something, until the 14 year old announced he was 'going to spend the next 18 years in the bathroom'.

But, hey, at least he asked where the air freshener is? Family is weird

Tysm! I'm already pretty excited about it, honestly. Doc wasn't optimistic about it helping runny nose, but prescribed it for the chronic hives. Both were nowhere to be found in the hour after the shot. Looking forward to seeing how the next few months progress!

First injection of #Xolair today (VERY excited for treatment options) and it cleared some of my brain fog within minutes. Allergist definitely thinks the chronic #hives are related to the #Hashimoto's diagnosis, which I wouldn't have considered, but makes sense with the brain fog component.

Had a nurse today ask me what my hearing aids are for.

To my credit, I did manage to not answer sarcastically, but that took some doing on my part.

I think it would be funny if there was a way to see everyone's score on how many people thought we were ignoring them when we couldn't hear them.

Obviously, Deaf folks would sweep those numbers, but I think I'd have be mid to high on there.

It's gotta be weird to people learning English that "bun" like the hamburger bun and "bunny" like a bunny rabbit sound so much alike.

If it wasn't my first language, I would think "bunny" was an affectionate form of "bun" and that sounds even crazier.

Finally realizing your #migraines are so-called "Let-Down Headaches" that occur from the time after stress subsides... but also having a #PTSD diagnosis. FML.

Doing #Duolingo on Dutch and Haitian Creole and my keyboard suggestions look like I've never learnt to write English in my entire life

Times are very tough, and neighbors are our most immediate in-person community. Barter, trade and share, you never know what resources are at your disposal until you network like that.

We've found bags of potatoes on our front step that have lasted us months. We can do this.

If you have the ability, make friends with your neighbors.

One neighbor family, who does not share our politics, regularly brings us groceries and meals they have extra of.

Another, this morning, gave us caramel apples she makes, and a third gives us peaches and pecans from her trees.

Autism doesn’t make you a
Fascist

I got prescribed antibiotics for a dental infection this week, and thought that must mean I'll feel better soon.

Two days in, I Google and find out that "extreme tiredness" is a side effect of amoxicillin, and it's not just in my head that I'm feeling worse. #FML

You're the first account I've seen over here with captions, tysm!

Ooh, what kind of plant is that? 😍

My brand new temporary dental filing has the texture of cotton and it's #SensoryHell I want it out so badly already

Hey everyone maybe an system designed by a bunch of child rapists who couldn't tell the difference between human beings and farming equipment has more design flaws than one major update in 250 years can fix, just thinking here

YES. I'm descended from one Autistic who could be my twin, in too many ways, and we were so close-

But there's a very specific type of Autistic that makes me want to flip tables and destroy worlds

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal- vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a 2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal- vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip- lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ- ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur- ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor- ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to- night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.
