The message for visitors to the US is clear from Donald Trump’s new social media rule: self-censorship is your ticket to ride.

They are openly saying this.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

I’d be willing to bet Richard Madeley is paid more in real terms than he was paid in 2008.
Richard Madeley "How realistic is it for any profession to expect to be paid in real terms what they were paid in 2008?"
The UK is the 6th largest economy in the world & the rich have never been richer, but Madeley thinks the rest of us should just accept being poorer #GMB

This is the opposite weather version of racist Australian cops, who infamously grab Black indigenous Australian kids in rural towns on some pretext, then dump them a couple of hours walk out of town in 45°c (113°F) weather with no shoes or water, knowing full well that they might die.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
