Yes, thank you. People really are bizarre about Canada. (Also, it’s really hard to immigrate there.)

Another one of those flashing alerts on my phone from the NY Times and the Washington Post in the age of trump.

Sadly, the rhetoric is escalating to violence alot faster than most of us feared.

That was a celebratory gesture.

In the meantime, the woman—thus far unnamed—was pressured to sign papers and told that her visa had been canceled. When she refused to sign, asking to wait until her husband arrived, immigration officers threatened that she would not be permitted to return to the United States. She was then told to sign her…
