The statement I got from CBP tries to suggest this researcher violated U.S. immigration law at some point in the past but it's hard to take anything the Trump regime says at face value.

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card."

The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

“Media has been captured by a noisy minority, whose views are constantly reflected, because they happen to comprise the readership of national newspapers. But that doesn't reflect the nation. It just reflects a small - and shrinking -demographic, that still buys newspapers.”

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has just said

“Starmer’s deals with Iraq and Germany will not work. Deportations once we leave the ECHR is the ONLY way”

I explain here why he’s again talking boll****👇

What’s happening in NC should be much bigger scandal: gerrymandered GOP legislature stripping power from Dem gov & AG in lame-duck session while Rs trying to throw out 60k votes to overturn Dem victory in state Supreme Court race www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I kind of feel the phrase "persuaded Ryan Reynolds to be the voice of a woollen mitten" might feature in a future history of this civilisation's collapse.

It'll never happen, of course, for a ton of reasons but if 25 liberal One Nation Tory MPs were deeply enough horrified by the direction their party has taken they could, theoretically, make Ed Davey leader of the opposition.

“There is a problem when people don’t think of walking as transport. There is a tendency to see cars and other motor transport as more important than walking, and to focus on roads to keep the traffic moving. But walking is an important way of getting around in the city…”

Overrule them, approve it and then follow the council leadership around for a week with a hose

This makes me want to do a huge crowd funder to buy LOADS of LGBTQAI books for any schools who want them. Be brave. Keep educating. Censorship of information is not ok & schools should fight it! #EduSky #LGBTQ #LibrarySkies

Completely agree with this. AI can be helpful but the obsession with it is not

Even among tech/data solutions, more basic improvements like new computers and reliable WiFi will often make a far bigger improvement to public service productivity

I'd imagine this would be about as effective as signs in car parks etc saying 'we are not liable for any injury caused by our negligence'. A preemptive announcement that anything you will say is not intended to stir up racial hatred is not really of any value if you go on to stir up racial hatred

Number 3 in the bestsellers chart this week. Woop. Why not pick up a copy, if for nothing else the footnotes are amusing and include a wild ride through French bin collections. You'll not be disappointed. amzn.eu/d/ctqQZQW
