Denny Kozlov<p>So I'm again/still obsessing over drag king - the logistics of how I could pull it off as a disabled person (could I hold a crowd's attention while doing my entire act seated?) plus making my musical tastes fit into the drag scene. For example: I was checking out some Roxy Music videos and now I'm jazzed by the idea of performing to a medley of Do the Strand and Both Ends Burning (they're even in the same key and tempo!). Not sure if the world is ready for a non-skinny all-seated Bryan Ferry homage, but part of me is tempted by the idea of rolling onstage in a tailored suit and modish black hair wig, taking a seat onstage, and kicking into <br>"There's a new sensation<br>A fabulous creation<br>A danceable solution<br>To teenage revolution..." <br>I dunno ... what do you folks out in Mastodon-land think of this madness?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/drag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>drag</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/DragKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DragKing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/RoxyMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoxyMusic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BryanFerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BryanFerry</span></a> <br><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/MentalSoundtrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalSoundtrack</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5X6BifSQ9U" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=M5X6BifSQ9U</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Rivers was arrested as he was leaving court, Atkinson said. A Rapid Response Network attorney on site was able to advise Rivers on his rights to prevent the government deporting him in error, Atkinson said. His attorney has since located him at an ICE detention facility in Bakersfield, she said.</p><p>The Chronicle has reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for comment.<br>U.S. law grants asylum seekers like Rivers the right to remain in the United States while their asylum claim is pending, but the government has argued that it has the right to detain such individuals, which has been challenged in court before. Under the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment’s right to due process, immigrants also generally have the right to a hearing in front of an immigration judge before they’re deported, with some exceptions.</p><p>However, since late May, federal immigration authorities under President Donald Trump’s administration have started a new practice where the government attorney in an immigration hearing would file a motion for the judge to dismiss the case so that the person would lose protections from deportation afforded to those with pending immigration proceedings. </p><p>After the judge dismisses it, ICE agents would arrest the immigrant and detain them for expedited removal, or deportation without a hearing, a federal power that’s under Biden was reserved for those arrested at the border within two weeks of their arrival.</p><p>Authorities have also been detaining people whose cases were not dismissed by immigration judges, including Rivers, Atkinson said. Of the, at least 20, people who the San Francisco Rapid Response Network confirmed had been subject to 'courthouse arrests,' she said only two of them had cases dismissed by judges. The rest, she said, are still in active proceedings and the majority have a pending asylum application."</p><p><a href="https://archive.ph/46bS3" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/46bS3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Sally Strange<p>Finally got around to watching King of Drag. It was a delightful surprise with the exception of certain musical numbers with terrible sound mixing and a confusing final battle. But the kings themselves are great, they are hilarious and have so much personality and talent. Definitely going to keep watching. <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/KingOfDrag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KingOfDrag</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Drag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drag</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/DragKings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DragKings</span></a></p>
Ageric<p>There's a new drag king reality show called King of Drag, and the first episode was fun!!!</p><p>It was very queer, and goofy, and wholesome. Murray Hill was delightful. Tenderoni (Chicago drag king, icon, my fave) is a judge on it. I'm really enjoying the contestants too</p><p>Please go check it out so we can have more of it! I watched it for free on the Revry app, didnt have to create a profile, and there were no commerials! </p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rCVSuU/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">tiktok.com/t/ZP8rCVSuU/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Drag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drag</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/KingOfDrag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KingOfDrag</span></a></p>
