This wouldn't happen without the Fediverse. The network effect is already strong, and it's growing daily.

The image shows a hand holding a CD case and a sheet of paper with illustrations. The CD case is clear with a white and black design featuring a cartoonish character with a wide smile and a hat, surrounded by a splatter pattern. The sheet of paper has various black and white illustrations of cartoon characters, including cats and human-like figures, with a border that reads "YOYO." The background is dimly lit with a red hue, and the floor appears to be carpeted. The hand holding the items is wearing a black sleeve, and the person's foot is visible, wearing a red and white sneaker.

The image depicts a cityscape with a prominent waterfront. In the foreground, a large sailing ship with three masts is docked, featuring a dark hull and white sails. The ship is moored alongside a building with a green roof. The waterway is lined with various boats, including smaller yachts and larger vessels, suggesting a marina or harbor area. On the left, a tall, modern building with a beige facade stands out, while on the right, a mix of high-rise buildings and lower structures can be seen, including a distinctive building with a triangular roof. The background reveals a skyline with more buildings, some with industrial features, and a hazy sky, indicating a possibly overcast day. The overall scene captures a blend of historical and modern elements, with the ship adding a touch of maritime history to the urban setting.

A 28-yo #pregnant #woman set to give birth as early as next week is speaking out about being detained by #immigration authorities in #California, even after telling agents she was a #UScitizen.
Cary López Alvarado lost her balance as agents "shoved her" during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC #LosAngeles from a #hospital bed. “That’s when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach.”
