On As It Happens the other night - two young female Canadian musicians told of being stopped by the police while driving back from a gig (can't remember which state they were in). There was no reason to stop them except they had Canadian plates on their vehicle. The interrogation was more than a bit hostile, they said. They were searched personally. They had no drugs, no opened or unopened alcohol. Every inch of the vehicle was searched, nevertheless. After 45 minutes (they were lucky!) they were released and allowed to go, but they were still followed for several miles/kilometres. They were glad to arrive back in Canada safely!
If they say they are coming for you , believe them. We have seen this play before and know how it ends. People die and people disappear and good people have to fight . The world was saved by young men and women last time. I hope they won’t be called to do it again. It may not be yellow stars but it may be rainbow flags or blue flags or loss of basic human rights. Beware , you aren’t immune.
US border staff have always been hostile. I had to cross into the US for six weeks of summer school for seven summers. Every year I got a hassle, and always a different hassle. They claimed the American colleges that I was Attending never sent the right visa paperwork.
Unbelievable, since one of the institutions was one of the most highly reputable universities in the nation. They just wanted to hassle me for the fun of it.
Those of us who winter in the south are seeing more fear from away than from close. That may well change and the conversations are certainly happening. It is unsettlilng.

Margaret Atwood and Stephen King couldn’t even write Trump/Miller’s stuff
This is what the majority of American swing state voters wanted again or Elon Musk committed voter fraud without issue
Musk is upfront. It’s buying and bullying. Fraud in your face.
Yes President Musk is also upfront about being a Nazi or sympathising with racist ideas

This is a fake AI produced photo. This is not helping your cause.
Of course it is. You thought it was real? It’s the point of the story.
