Trump and others have changed the permission structure not just in the US but elsewhere to be openly, loudly racist. Much less shame being a racist asshole these days.
Greed, guns, oil, and hate, and the greatest of these is hate.
“Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people,” said Sylvestre. “This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves.”
Out loud now.

Trump likes “Donroe Doctrine” but it’s really the “Darth Vader” doctrine: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.” Whatever government thinks they've reached an agreement with the US is deluding itself. These agreements are not worth the gold embossed napkins they are written on.

Negligence is a hallmark of concentration camps. Death camps require machinery of death, but concentration camps just kill people with disease, starvation, overcrowding, cold, heat, and the like. Not as deadly but still quite murderous.
Not only is this an infectious disease nightmare, they’re withholding common and needed, OTC, medicines like Tylenol.
