Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade.
That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

Trump only won in 2016 because of Jim Comey and the electoral college
He lost in 2020 by a wide margin when incumbents did well
He won in 2024 by a narrow margin during a major global anti-incumbent backlash
He has never been popular

what impressed me most today was that a huge crowd of people who mostly had never been tear gassed managed to retreat without running or trampling each other. under a cloud of gas that was not moving (zero wind), people held onto each other and walked blind down a street packed tight as sardines
Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

As I’ve noted before, I got my titers checked last year and my mumps protection was zilch. My measles number was so high they said I must have had an exposure recently.
If you're an adult who was vaccinated, you should get your titers run to make sure you still have immunity. Vaccination can wane and/or you may not have generated a strong immune response. That was ok when we had herd immunity but we're likely about to lose our "measles free" status.
Vaccinate your kids, you friggin nuts.

Until 9/11, you could cross into Canada from Detroit with a driver's license. You're supposed to show your birth certificate or passport, but 9 times out of 10, they'd wave you through.
9/11 and the Bush admin's "War on Terror" changed everything. Can't remember the last time I've been to Windsor.

For a very long time you did not need a passport to cross back and forth to Mexico and Canada. I am Gen X and El Paso folks my age remember crossing to drink in Mexico for the night and then coming back home. There are families who continued living in the same place when the border moved.
The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.
