ICE cut off her wedding ring.
Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. Just in case you thought you’d be safe.
She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE.

The Vikingship Museum in Roskilde is an amazing place not only for people who love traditional boats and ships, it is also very much alive not only with scientific research (experimental archaeology), but many activities around ancient ships and boats.

There was no need for Trump to pretend to be friends with Putin - but here we are: No step further to peace or ceasefire in Ukraine, but a weakened US president who is completely out of his depth, and a Russian dictator who realised the extent of his influence by flattering Trump on American soil.

Trump-Putin summit – live updates
Donald Trump left more questions than answers on Friday as he claimed “great progress” in his high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin but admitted that no deal had been reached to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Nach dem Atombombenabwurf auf Japan am 6. August 1945 versuchten die USA, die Öffentlichkeit vom „gerechten Einsatz“ der Bombe zu überzeugen. Erst der Journalist John Hersey gab den Opfern eine Stimme

One of the signature features of life under the Trump regime is a constant sandstorm of casual lies and destabilizing ambiguity. With the end of Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show,” the public will lose one of its last pipelines to the truth.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
