    Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World is a 2023 memoir and political analysis by Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker Naomi Klein.

    Swear to god, Americans are not literate and that is especially true of ICE thugs. I had some inclination before but after seeing the stats, oh boy.

    • On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024.

    The report exposed how Immigration and Customs Enforcement took a blowtorch to hiring standards, with one Department of Homeland Security official blasting: “We have people failing open-book tests and we have folks that can barely read or write English.”
