I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

It’s almost impressive that Trump has managed to send America well on its way to being not only an oligarchic plutocracy, but a kakistocracy as well.
It's easy to confuse oligarchy and plutocracy. The former is when you are ruled by the few, the latter is when you are ruled by the rich.
Of course, in oligarchies, those few doing the ruling tend to be wealthy, especially by the time they leave office.
