George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

Hey assholes — I see a miscarriage most shifts. Some days I see two or three. They happen ALL THE TIME.

Stop fucking assuming every woman who loses a pregnancy is aborting it intentionally. First off, they probably aren’t. Second, it’s none of your goddamn motherfucking business. Third, if you’re so sure these are all humans, give the mom some fucking space to process the loss.

Buncha fucking guys whose wives never talk to them about the miscarriages they have had. Says a lot.

Meanwhile in Canada

Little known fact:

The USA uses potash on 95% of their crops

80% of the potash they use comes from Canada.

There is no viable substitute for potash.

The USA imports 6 million tons from Canada every year.

Trump is going to decimate the USA's farmers and agriculture sector with his idiotic trade war.

Just talked to a student who was completely freaking out about the final project presentation, to the point of having a panic attack. I gently pointed out that since the final project isn't a huge part of the grade (15%) and it's not a required course component, they can just NOT DO IT, and still pass the class. This had never occurred to them, and they were SO relieved.

A totally undervalued part of education is learning what things just aren't worth your time/effort, and walking away.
