‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Going live around 8 pm CT with the next installment of Flickerline in Pathfinder 2e Remaster. The party has loudly infiltrated the forest fortress and is looking for answers to why they don't appear to be where they thought they were.

The Flickerline logo is written in a flowing Victorian-style font with the letter I's replaced with clock hands pointing to 12. The lettering is placed on a green filigree background.

Time for another session of Flickerline. The party has been repelled from the forest fortress by the guards in a close-fought battle with losses on both sides. Will they choose to be prudent? We all know they won't!

Join us at around 8 PM CT over on Twitch.

Incredibly powerful language from a Reagan-appointed federal judge setting the record straight about the “unconstitutional conspiracy” between Felon Trump and Cabinet members, Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio.

Trump administration concedes DOGE team may have misused Social Security data Some DOGE personnel had more access to data than previously acknowledged, according to a court filing.

“Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to ‘overturn election results in certain states.’”

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

"But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.

You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.

You do nothing? You get nothing.

Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.
