The goal in detaining these children, a former official says, is “to make sure no one ever sends their kids to the US again.” Read @samanthamichaels.bsky.social + @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social report on the administration's new family separation policy that targets children in the nation's interior.

Meme by Cat Named Pepper. Reasons my cat rejected his food today. 1. You looked at me while I was eating. 2. Ate this yesterday. We've moved on. 3. Served in the wrong bowl. 4. I wanted wet food, but you should have known that. 5. Smelled it, decided it's suspicious. 6. I saw a crumb outside the bowl. 7. The bag crinkled way too aggressively.

Flamingos are not pink. They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. This is a baby flamingo. Original post
