    Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.

    The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.

    Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.

      I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they’ll have a hard time when they return. We’re hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they’ll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.

      This isn’t new. In the first administration, they were separating nursing mothers, and non-verbal toddlers. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, nearly 1000 children have still not been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be.

      And that doesn’t include the kids who ended up trafficked as sex workers or house slaves.

      That policy was never properly investigated. If we ever get out of this, it will be important to investigate EVERY allegation of criminal activity by the MAGA Nazis, and prosecute every perpetrator. No mercy, no forgiveness.

      Why couldn’t the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren’t political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?

        Both are true here.

        Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn’t care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren’t taking the situation seriously.

      Blaming voters for the failings of a political party will never be a viable strategy.

      The “protest voters” did not meaningfully impact the election.

      If you beleive otherwise you are deepthroating propaganda meant to make us infight

        You’re honestly not wrong. But just like Reddit and IRL people here vote emotionally instead of rationally.

        Things that divide us further are just distractions from class warfare, by keeping us at each other’s throats with culture wars.

        The real battle has always been class wars, and those in power maintain their positions by getting us peons to go at each other’s throats instead of theirs.

          There were no ethical or moral canidates on the 2024 ballot.

          And it’s not viable to blame voters for that.

            Bullshit.

            If you look at someone and go ‘wow that dude’s a nazi’ and then the other person and you say ‘wow I dont like some of her policies’ then you vote against the fucking Nazi.

            It’s pretty simple. The fact that you, and multiple other people here simply refuse to admit this very simple thing baffles me.

              The lesser of two evils is evil

              I would have preferred Kamala too, but that would have just pushed the next trump back 4 years.

                  Aknowledging reality isn’t accelerationism

                  The Democrats aren’t interested in making positive change

                  The Democrats rubber stamped the bombs they gave to Isreal to genocide the Palestinians, same as the Republicans.

                  The two party system ends when a third party canidate gets elected.

    Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.

    Pure cruelty and lack of thought.

    “If you don’t look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you’re welcome in. Get out.” Is the message they’re passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.

      I was 'welcome home’d by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa…I’m not an American, and don’t have American residency, but I’m white and speak with a neutral dialect.

    This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.

    Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.
