Ummm... it looks like you have an extra "perhaps" in that sentence... 😬

I did not - was really just hit with some serious cognitive dissonance. I've been living in Australia for the last few years - the America I came back to was not the same place I left.

Next time, if there is a next time, I'll be prepared.

I've boarded lots of trains in big cities - never seen this - men showing no uniforms, badges or warrants trying to bully people into submitting to searches...

Has anyone else seen this BS?

Very proud of my alma mater for suing the current regime. #CrimsonLine

"Happy Birthday, Dad!"

And also, what did the proud buffalo father tell his first male offspring when it left the herd?

My pleasure... scrolling your feed and I gotta say, if your archeological work is as good as your photography, I'm going to have to go look for your "Google Scholar" profile! 😅

Wow. 😮 Thanks for sharing this, Debbie! My wife is Australian and we're headed back to the US for my book tour, her "real work" and some family visits...

I had never heard of this latest ridiculous treatment of family members hailing from our long-term partner nations, so I appreciate the heads-up
