I personally know people with relatives in the United States, or Americans living in Finland. It's shocking to realize that as a precaution when traveling to certain states, you now need to ensure you have proof (like family photos on your phone) and remove all instant messaging and message history containing critical posts about Vance or Trump, just to avoid potentially being treated as an illegal alien.

USA has become a fascist country. I'll likely never travel there, unfortunately. It feels too unsafe.

It's ironic that I traveled to Israel back in 2019 and felt safer there, despite only experiencing a few interviews due to having an Israeli name and family friends living in the country.

I had promised my then 6-yo daughter that we'd go and see the Grand Canyon once she was a bit older. Then came Trump I. Then COVID. Now Trump II. She'll be adult before this shite is over. But we're traveling Europe by rail and talking about an epic bike tour.

@rolle I've just spent a few days In Finland, coincidentally when Helsinki Pride was on, and to say "I don't want to go home" is a vast understatement.

The weight that's lifted from not being in a fascist country is one that's been so incredibly heavy and that I was only somewhat aware of.

I say this as an American:
> No foreigner should travel to the US either for work or for play under the current regime.
You will not be safe.

Avoid the US (and our products and services) at all costs. Money and profit are the only things Adolf Shitler understands.

I agree. 100%. Make it as painful for the people doing this as possible.

I'm sorry, but you have to hurt my people to help them. Life shakes down like that sometimes.

@undefined_variable @rolle Most countries still care somewhat about not destroying their tourist industry.
