A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I don't see peaceful paths to resolution of what the United States is becoming.
I want to be optimistic, because I know there are millions of people there who don't want this.
But the USA has a politics of grievance and retribution now. People support what's happening because it makes others mad.

Up to 89 percent of ambulances for overdoses concealed in record year, as Alberta health care careens into crisis
The Alberta government says it has “the most transparent data reporting system in North America" for drug toxicity. In reality, internal data manipulation causes most emergency calls to go unreported.
