‘Hands Off!’ protesters across US rally against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk
‘Hands Off!’ protesters across US rally against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms. Over 1,400 “Hands Off!” mass-action protests were held at state capitols, federal buildings, congressional offices, Social Security’s headquarters, parks and city halls throughout the entire country – anywhere “we can make sure they hear us,” organizers said. “Hands Off!” demands “an end to this billionaire power grab.” -

Are U.S. expats shielded from the massive Trump Tariff Tax Raise on Americans?
His stated desire for a cheap dollar will have an effect on expats. I only hope the inflation that results will be good for my SSA COLA. -

British Man Arrested After Violent Outburst in Phuket
We know what's going to happen. He'll pay a little fine and most likely that will be the end of it. No wonder then Thai's feel like taking the law into their own hands. Such is the fear of 'offending tourism' and not to make any headline they have literally allowed the country to fester in very bad behaviour from visitors. Dubai and Singapore will often make sensational headlines for their hard crackdown on tourists when they behave appalling, but they accept any headlines. When you allow in millions of visitors into your country you must police them responsibly to allow the law abiding to enjoy themselves, and most importantly to protect locals (ironically these Brits demand this in their own country from foreigners). And the end result is the people love it, because it creates a safe place for people to come and enjoy. You do not see this behaviour of 'drunken Benidorm Brits' in Dubai or Singapore. The state will not tolerate it. They need to send a message to some of these tourists who behave this way - so word gets around. Ignore the short term headlines, and think of the long term well being of the country. I remember back in the 90's you would see massive messages on 'no drugs' into Thailand, and it worked. Now you openly have facebook message groups talking about raves and drugs on Thai islands. What on earth has happened? I honestly believe alot of this poor behaviour is as a result of being on some form of narcotic. This guy looks like he is on something, the girl dancing after her car flipping looks like she was on something too. It's just on and on - but it could end up really hurting someone, they aren't innocent crimes. The country seems to have been so effected by covid and that time without tourism, that it has essentially willing to accept any poor behaviour from anyone, it has destroyed the beauty of the country - which were the hospitable Thai culture, relatively safe place to come and enjoy (as opposed to the Phillippines or other regions). Now i go to a bar, and without doubt it's like i've been transported back to the UK - and violence will ensure after a few hours. The treatment towards locals is awful. This all builds up into a resentment from locals that you need to be careful about. There should be an immediate clamp down on this behaviour. No tolerance. Visa rules must change too. The sheer volume on these easy visas long term is a disgrace - it's just basically an open border immigration policy now.
