When I see this meme, my brain says 2 things:

1. No, no, no, he's Resident RUMP!

2. ROTUS sounds like ROUS-es, a.k.a. Rodents of Unusual Size!

Ha! That fits him, too! 🤣🤣

Feel the need to emphasize this today: Suspending Habeus Corpus (a.k.a. the right to due process) for ANYONE eliminates it for EVERYONE.
Screenshot of a social media post by h_lee_justine, stating: Idk who needs to hear this... but some of you def do If ONE SINGLE PERSON in your country doesn't have a right to due process NEITHER DO YOU "Idc if gang members don't have a right to a trial. They don't deserve it." "Alright, you're a gang member then. Come with me." "No im not?!" PROVE IT. Prove it without due process. Do you see? Do you see the dilemma here?

After nine months of unemployment that emptied our savings and exploded our debt, I finished my first week at my new job. I'm grateful and exhausted. It's a good paying job. It will still only just *barely* be enough to cover our cost of living. I know I'm lucky; I know it shouldn't be this hard.

I was looking for good memes for my day, but nothing really fit well. So instead you get photos of azaleas!
Close up view of a bush of vibrant fuschia azalea blossoms amidst green leaves. Close up view of a bush of many white azalea blossoms with dark and light pink centers amidst green leaves. A zoomed-in view of small clusters of butter yellow azalea blossoms with long yellow and orange stamens against a backdrop of green leaves. A view looking upward through a bush of magenta azalea blossoms; dappled sunlight makes some of the petals appear to glow. The bush is sparse; branches and leaves can be seen, as can hints of blue sky through the leaves.

Memes for the day.

Encouraging kids to be exactly who they are, as they are, and telling them that that LGBTQIA+ people exist and are normal and valid, is SUICIDE PREVENTION.

White text on a black background: "If your kids are old enough to learn about a 12 year old virgin Mary getting impregnated while betrothed to a 30 year old carpenter, they're old enough to hear that Josh has 2 moms. @TammyLauren1" A cartoon of a smiling white family standing together against a sky-blue background, the mother on the left/in the back, with dark blond hair, a pearl necklace, a red blouse with white collar and cuffs, and a purple skirt. The father is in the center, wearing a brown suit jacket, white shirt, and black tie. He has dark hair and a pipe sticking out from between his teeth. The daughter is on the right/front, her light blond hair in pigtails. She appears to be less than 10 years old, and she is wearing a blue shirt with a light green collar and matching light green skirt. Above the family are words in red font: "It's not prejudice if you call it religion". The woman and man are preparing to throw rocks; the girl has just thrown hers. A speech bubble to the right of her mouth shows what she said when she threw the rock: "God told us to hate you!" Image of a cardboard sign carried by a white person in a crowd in an urban area, standing in front of a rainbow pride flag. The person is wearing a yellow t-shirt and a pride flag tied around their neck, and the sign covers their face. It reads, in blue, pink, and white hand-written lettering: "WE DON'T WANT YOUR CIS KIDS TO BE TRANS WE WANT YOUR TRANS KIDS TO SURVIVE" Screen shot of a social media post, white text on black background. Small round user picture of a smiling black man. Text reads: "B.B. Alston (on hiatus) @bb_alston Book Banning: When you erase the history/experience of one kid to "protect" another,what you're also saying is that there is one type of kid worth protecting."
