Roman Surovtsev is like many others who were detained at their regularly scheduled ICE check-ins. What makes his case different is that his wife has marshalled a team of lawyers on his behalf.

True story: Gramma insisted I go to church (where youth leaders told me KISS was satanic, and they handed out those hateful Chick Tracts). When I turned 12 gramma told me I was at 'age of responsibility', a week later I asked mom if I can stop going to church. Mom said yes, gramma was furious.😎

Do you think that breaking the boycott will make you welcome in the United States? Think again. Finger printed, photographed and vehicles thoroughly searched. You better hope you don't have a conviction for smoking marijuana when you were 18. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

real talk: the two awards I deeply desire are the Stephen Leacock Medal For Humour and the Order of Canada. I'm never gonna win the Leacock medal (I write the wrong kind of stuff), but one time a book where I was thanked in the acknowledgements was shortlisted. Thisclose.

Citizen. With passport. Not illegal immigrant. Not criminal. Just a US citizen they decided didn't look right. Who voted for that?

Social Media, defined:

When a leader crowns himself above the law, he’s no longer a president — he’s a tyrant. From Canada, I stand with those saying No Kings. Power belongs to the people, not to one man’s ego. 🍁 #NoKings #DemocracyMatters
