"There was no explanation, no warning. One minute, I was in an immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa, which had been approved months before and allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. The next, I was told to put my hands against the wall, and patted down like a criminal before being sent to an Ice detention center without the chance to talk to a lawyer."

"Is your red line when they defy a court order? When they declare martial law? When they arrest political opponents? When people start being disappeared off the streets?
Do they have to target your family, your neighbor, or your community before you decide it’s worth your effort to take action? Do they have to start arresting journalists? Politicians? Judges? When will you feel, 'OK, that’s the last straw'?"

We Americans used to wonder what it felt like for Germans to live in a nation that turned itself into a pariah nation under Hitler.
Now we know.
@wdlindsy Irish. Italian. Jewish. Latino. From reviled outsider status, we’ve slowly achieved (actually, been granted) conditional whiteness. It is revocable.
Je me souviens 
@wdlindsy Mine was 12 years ago...
@wdlindsy 500,000 drop year over year in February for #Canadians going to the US.
Better get rid of this cult, quick. If they are given more time to dig themselves in, you'll need a bloody revolution to get your democracy back.

@wdlindsy I sometimes think of the “inner migration" that many intellectuals took, i.e., retreating into a purely private life.
This line really got me.
