Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting
June 21, 2025 ... "More Americans are witnessing people being hauled off as they shop, exercise at the gym, dine out and otherwise go about their daily lives as President Donald Trump's administration aggressively works to increase immigration arrests. As the raids touch the lives of people who aren’t immigrants themselves, many Americans who rarely, if ever, participated in civil disobedience are rushing out to record the actions on their phones and launch impromptu protests. ... Communities protest around ICE buildings Arrests at immigration courts and other ICE buildings have also prompted emotional scenes as masked agents have turned up to detain people going to routine appointments and hearings."

BREAKING NEWS Israel says it has launched strikes on Iran's 'nuclear programme
Iran has enriched uranium. Iran is pledged to the destruction of Israel and the elimination of every jew on planet earth. Iran is also calling for the end of the UK and the USA. Would you be ok if you were followed by someone for years threatening to kill you and who had already made multiple attempts, including previous attacks that resulted in the death and injury to your family members? That person was repeatedly given court orders to stay away, but chose to violate them. The person was even incarcerated for a time, but still chose violence. That person was armed and planning to attack again. Would you not intervene? -

Columbia protester Mahmoud Khalil freed from ICE detention by federal judge
What To Know "Khalil was released on bail shortly before 8 p.m. ET on Friday after U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz concluded he is not a flight risk as he's married to a U.S. citizen, has no criminal record and a baby at home. ... Speaking to reporters after his release, Khalil said: "Hundreds of men who I left behind me shouldn't have been there in the first place. The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here whether you are a U.S. citizen, an immigrant, or just a person on this land doesn't mean you are less of a human." ... "There's no right person who should be detained for protesting a genocide, for protesting their university, Columbia University, that is investing in the genocide of the Palestinian people so this is my message."

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
THat wasn't in the agreement.??? r .... MMMMMMM – I think the problem is foreigners are trying to get Thai licences not recognising their own. Under the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, signatory countries are generally required to recognize valid driving licenses issued by other signatory countries, without requiring a driving test in the new country. The convention aims to facilitate international travel and driving by establishing a standardized system for recognizing driving licenses. There can be exceptions, such as for residents who stay in a country for an extended period, where local regulations might require exchanging the license for a local one. However, even in such cases, the convention promotes bilateral agreements to facilitate license exchange without requiring a new driving test. Thailand is a bit vague about those driving “long term” in Thailand on foreign licences – it looks like they consider 3 months (909days) long enough – especially for insurance purposes – the trouble is that those introducing the law don’t appear to have looked at Thailand’s commitments under international laws… Perhaps spmepne might actually make a legal challenge to this? -

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
Well it's a polite way of saying that a dispro[ortionate number of idiot drivers are foreigners who blithely swan around with a false feeing of superiority over Thai road users... they really take the biscuit.
