It's getting worse...
If you plan to enter the USA be aware they could take away your phone and search it, too.

So keep three phone numbers in your mind(!) (not only in your phone):
1. home contact knowing what to do if you are detained.
2. US contact knowing what to do.
3. a US legal rights assistant.

And clean your phone of anything
- Trump/USA critical
- media (texts, pictures, videos, social media posts, ...) containing nudity, drugs, (toy) weapons, slang expressions, ...
- contacts/phone numbers you not really need

The Guardian · French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump foundBy Robert Mackey

"Only the Young" is a song written by #JonathanCain, #StevePerry and #NealSchon of the band #Journey. Previously intended for Journey's 1983 album #Frontiers, it was pulled from the album within days of recording in favor of songs "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child". It was then sold to the band #Scandal, who released it in 1984 on their album #Warrior, as the first commercially released version of the song.

73 days smoke free!!! Just had to share because I haven’t checked this app for a little bit and I was blown away by how far I have come 💪🏼. I would say half of the days are easy and half are really difficult and I still use nicotine mints and gum the amount depends on the day but on the whole it’s getting less. I am still shocked that I’m managing to stick with this and I’m truly proud of myself. Also I’m loving that I can say I haven’t smoked this year 🥰 and as the days are ticking along being able to say this means more.
Stopping smoking is just one of many things that I’m either already doing or intending to do and every goal is something to make my body or mind healthier and stronger. I know that these objectives are contributing to me getting to become the person I want to be. Every piece of the puzzle matters and in the short term will help to get me through intensive trauma therapy and in the long term who knows, it’s actually not something I’ve thought about yet. I’m naturally an impatient person so that is also something I’m working hard on by trusting the choices I’m making and having faith in the path I’m walking and that at the very least my mental health will improve so that I can be a stronger more independent woman.
I want to thank everyone that has been following me on my journey to stronger mental health and huge thank you for you love, beautiful messages and support. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #ptsd #ptsdrecoveryjourney #complextrauma #complextraumarecovery #trusttheprocess #positivity #strength #love #betterhealth #patience #healthybodyhealthymind #journey #stopsmoking #stopsmokingstartliving
