This is part of the reason why I have suspended all travel to the United States indefinitely. A Swiss teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York with friends but instead was detained, shackled, and sent off to a detention center in New Jersey.

No thanks!

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

"I learned with concern that a French researcher" on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) "who was traveling to a conference near Houston was denied entry to the United States before being expelled ," said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). "This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy ," he added

Not sure if its a feature, a bug, or just because I don't follow enough people yet but my favourite thing about this site is that occasionally you reach the end of it.

Like you have the discover tab to find out everything that's going on in the world, get annoyed and then it just runs out
