Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere.
We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk.
Airborne viruses are no different

With Canada's ER problem that is now in the global public eye, we can't afford to be flippant about preventable infectious diseases like COVID & influenza, because they contribute to surging capacity in ER. Airborne mitigations now
I am positive that severe overcrowding was a major factor in delays to care, and that his prolonged waiting did NOT improve anything in this pt's case.

- evidence doesn’t reach police because it’s sent as the boat enters an area with no reception and blanc doesn’t know about no wifi
- someone’s alibi about having a Phillips soda falls apart because blanc finds out none of the vending machines work

Knives Out but the murder happens on a BC Ferry that Benoit Blanc is already on and the boat can’t dock until he solves the crime
In this scenario some people are headed to a retreat on a Gulf Island, there’s a high school sports team on board, and the car alarms never stop

We need those who claim to be “left” to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised.
Masking is resistance.
It’s community care.
The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you won’t fight back.
Healthcare is being gutted.
There’s never been a better time to mask

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
