Backward-swimming Bathyopsurus — a rare deep-sea isopod that lives between 4,000 and 11,000 m. They use two pairs of enlarged, paddle-like legs to swim; scientists have observed the animal moving backward and even upside down. #DeepWonders, Trinidad & Tobago, 3,923 m

Donald Trump posted a graphic targeting Abdul El-Sayed and his wife, comparing them to him and Melania with the caption “Two Very Different America’s.” Here’s how El-Sayed flipped it right back on him live on CNN:

The "crisis" is that if the people already here don't want to/can't afford to have kids, then we'll need more immigration to keep the economy growing.

Imagine if I tore my own asshole off, threw it on the ground, and dove through it into another dimension. That's something the Fed needs to pay attention to.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

And harassing people at a gas station nowhere near an international border has nothing to do with immigration or customs enforcement. Assholes.
