Not having a curfew anymore or having to sign in/out with security checks feels strange to me.
This is the usual in shelters, independent living, and recuperative cares - whatever the hell that is supposed to mean as two nearly killed me, I definitely didn't recuperate - which I have been until now for years.
Or in a tent. Possibly a beach (that one was fun).
I come in the door, and then sit there feeling as if something is off for a while.
Then get anxious and leave.

The world is unifying around the question of Palestinian statehood, diverging from the U.S. and Israel. Will it make a difference? Not since the mid-1950s has a U.S. president held such sway over Israel.Ned Temko (The Christian Science Monitor)

#Canada PM Carney responds to Trump’s #tariff increase
Canadian Prime Minister #MarkCarney said early Friday that he is “disappointed” by Trump’s decision to increase #tariffs on his country to 35% but left open the door for a potential #trade deal.
After weeks of negotiations with #US’ northern neighbor, #Trump decided to ratchet up levies on the country alongside sweeping new tariffs announced Thursday.

in reply to Nonilex • • •#Trump again cited what he claimed was a “flood” of #fentanyl from the northern border, a statement not borne out by data from #US Customs & Border Protection (#CBP). Carney’s efforts to recognize a #PalestinianState also jeopardized talks, Trump said late Wednesday.
In his statement, #MarkCarney said correctly that #Canada accounted for only 1% of fentanyl coming into the US & that the country “has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes.”

in reply to Nonilex • • •“#Canada’s government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, & end migrant smuggling,” #MarkCarney wrote. “These include thousands of new law enforcement & border security officers, aerial surveillance, intelligence & security operations, & the strongest border legislation in our history.”

Swiss stunned by #US #tariffs
Swiss manufacturers warned that tens of thousands of #jobs were at risk after #Trump hit them with one of the highest tariff rates, even if there was some relief for the key drugs sector.
The government said it would decide how to proceed after Trump set a 39% tariff on the export-reliant country.
That is more than double the 15% rate for most #EU imports into the US.

in reply to Nonilex • • •“The #tariffs are not based on any rational basis & are totally arbitrary ... This tariff will hit Swiss industry very hard, especially as our competitors in the #EuropeanUnion, #Britain & #Japan have much lower tariffs,” Kohl added.
The new #tariff rate is set to take effect in 7 days, & a Swiss source familiar with the matter said the 2 sides would continue negotiating ahead of that deadline.
