  • It’s like they’re submerged in a world of text-based begging letters. Take a faith healing correspondence, a soupcon of charitable dontaions, and a dash of chain letters. For a modern twist, blend in signs from homeless people.

    Whatever the motivation, when one person is desparate enough to try and persuade you to just give your money away, there’s a tone. If you grow up in that world, I imagine there’s a lot of reinforcement that seeps into daily conversation.




  • Shaw’s case is the latest in a growing list of foreigners facing interrogation, detainment and deportations at the US border, including a British tourist, three Germans Lucas Sielaff, Fabian Schmidt and Jessica Brösche, and a Canadian and an Australian who were each held and then deported, despite having valid work visas.

    Ugh way to make it sound like there’ve only been a handful of people this has happened to. I think I read a report a few weeks back which said how many Canadians were being actively detained by the US at this time, and it was easily 50-something people.

    It is OUTRAGEOUS that the US is detaining people without cause. Where is the international outrage as each country’s citizens are needlessly treated like criminals??
