For the past 16 years, Mary and Mike McLaughlin, Jamaican natives who now live in Winnetka, have helped plant almost half a million fruit trees across the Caribbean and Africa, about 250,000 of those in Jamaica alone. Breadfruit has long been an underutilized source of food, Mary McLaughlin said.

This is of course the point of the Constitution and arguably Western civilization, that it's all right there for everyone to understand no matter where they're from.

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas
Screenshot of a post from Ms Rachel’s Instagram Real Question from The NY Times As you know, a group has suggested, albeit without evidence, that you are accepting money in order to further Hamas's agenda. Is that true? This accusation is not only absurd, it's patently false.

Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said
Petitioner asks us to grant review in this case to reconsider United States v. Kagama, 118 U. S. 375 (1886). Kagama helped usher into our case law the theory that the federal government enjoys “plenary power” over the internal affairs of Native American Tribes. It is a theory that should make this Court blush. Not only does that notion lack any foundation in the Constitution; its roots lie instead only in archaic prejudices. This Court is responsible for Kagama, and this Court holds the power to correct it. We should not shirk from the task.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.

Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”
