It's funny. Last week I was wondering whether I would feel comfortable visiting the US while Trump is president (most of my family live there). This week I'm starting to realise that I probably wouldn't be able to get in.

Got kicked in the head
Cause people got too serious
Planned out what they said
Good band (up the punks 🤘🏻)
And fuck only knows how much more dangerously authoritarian things will get in the US by next year.
Side note: didn't even know the UK Subs were still going, was a massive fan of theirs, er, forty odd years ago.
That stuff of course never dies.
Holiday in Asia or Europe or Canada.
I really don't want to go now, don't care about the lost money.
It would feel like visiting late 1930s Germany
Ian : "That's right."
Time passes.
A different border guard : "Welcome to El Salvador."
However, there’s always a ‘but’:
Will they be allowed to return?
[Would they want to return? 🤔]

Not even got anything spicy on social media, but it’s reported they’ve searched personal text messages!
Not alone, I suspect.
I went back and listened to the Anti-vaxx episode you guys did on Origin Story.
It was excellent. Thanks
We have to be punched
I feel like that’s just too much for US border control to understand.
The US is off until a sensible Democratic Party are in power.
Trump2 I am starting to think it’s not fair to ask them to travel to US or transit via US.
Probably not.
Fucking surreal
It's not sustainable surely.
Doesn’t feel right never mind the safety travelling there and back.
I guess the first amendment doesn’t apply to non US citizens. I wonder how long it will be before it doesn’t apply to US citizens?
BTW, that’s me fucked too
A German lassie was locked up for weeks.
I would advise against any travel to the USA unless absolutely vital.
Or you're a Broligarch.
The Golden Visa's only $ 5 million.

Me too 🙋♂️, if at all!
Assuming they feel safe to leave.
I have to wonder if I will be able to get out for my scheduled trip to the UK in the summer or get back in when I return.
Pretty soon no champagne or EU wines. Seems an easy decision.
America is full on fascism and in deep, deep trouble.
Which is a shame because it’s spectacular country and I have good friends there.
So it goes.
Houston Airport, seed of MAGA...?
Was there last month for work.
Will not go again for the time being.
Only it isn’t ‘what if..? it’s ’it is..!’
