It's Always Darkest Before It Goes Pitch Black: Trump's New America

[Dr. Medulla]

A queer couple (not sure if queer is right, woman and non-binary) and their trans son and cis son that we are family friends with from my daughter's school are moving to Toronto since they don't feel safe in the country anymore. Can't blame them.

Is this their plan or it's confirmed? I ask because, as I understand it, Americans wanting to emigrate are finding it harder than you'd want to believe.

That's tough, my heart goes out to them for having to leave their home country in order to live safely.

One parent is getting a student visa as I understand. So temporary for now.

Fingers crossed they can gain permanent status or tread water waiting for things to improve in the US.

I hope the latter, but it does reinforce the privilege I have that others near me lack.

Subaru & Nissan give Trumpy the brown eye, moving their manufacturing outside of the US.

The U.S. is expanding the countries it's sending migrants back to:

WASHINGTON (AP) — US immigration officials appear to have begun deporting migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan, attorneys say.

South Sudan is on the brink of total social collapse. Makes El Salvador seem like a free and democratic country with robust human rights protections.

FDA is set to cut COVID boosters to anybody under 65 years of age or those with underlying medical conditions. I mean why does it matter if opt to get a booster, who am I harming? I've always believed an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

It's going to put doctors into conflict with their hippocratic oath, where they'll be forced to lie to allow patients to get the vaccine.
