My wife is a US citizen. Her niece just got married in the US - we declined the invitation.

No way either of us is setting foot in that place until the fascists are gone.

Time for world wide protests outside US embassies and consulates.

You couldn’t get me to visit West Russia (formerly known as the USA) right now if you paid me! #resistfascism

When do we increase biosecurity precautions against USA seeing they've stopped testing, data tracking and reporting and we have very strict standards. They're letting H5N1 rip and it survives pasteurisation and freezing. We import dairy including ice cream from them.

My husband wants to visit his brother, but I think I'd rather meet in Canada or Mexico. I don't think California will be safe.

I’m trying to dissuade my daughter in the strongest possible terms from her planned trip in May.

I'm looking at visiting China presently. The deals are great. 11 days, including airfairs, $999

Wow. Out of control. I remember being questioned on my last entry last year.

garethmills.bsky.social•2 days ago

If I were going there now, I'd fork out for a visa. There's every chance the rules would change during the flight over there

Who would want to spend a cent in Trump's America while he, his arse-licking VP and a sycophantic GOP have control?

Yeah nah... I have zero plans to ever visit the US. The closest I ever got was wandering up to the border station, from the Canada side, with a friend who was going to get some documents for her American husband.

I have never had the slightest desire to go there either. People walking around with guns! 😱

tineke.bsky.social•3 days ago

When I was there, in DC, you'd see soldiers with machine guns on street corners. Very weird!

tangledsilk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Holy crap. 😱

sewerratt64.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ok, that’s the first I’ve heard of that happening. When was that?

tineke.bsky.social•2 days ago

During the 80s and 90s

sewerratt64.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah yeah... I saw cops wandering around Heathrow airport carrying MP5 machine guns. The year after I'd visited Manchester, the IRA set off a bomb there.

So many more interesting less dangerous places to visit

tangledsilk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely. Hell seems safer at the mo. 😈

sewerratt64.bsky.social•3 days ago

Skiing down the inside of a volcano is less dangerous ATM.

3wombats.bsky.social•3 days ago

I already had zero plans to visit before this ridiculous administration. You couldn’t bribe me to visit now

I submitted feedback saying Australia needs to update an urgent travel advisory, they are making mistakes and declining due process making sure mistakes are not easily fixed. What would have happened if no one knew and she was deported to Gitmo or Central America? She could end up a slave or worse.

After my last visit to America in 2013, I vowed I would never go back.
I felt unsafe for the first time travelling alone.

cecilia1204.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly why I won't be going anywhere near the joint, especially with my looks

koparafallskid.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unbelievable!

And for the record, last time I risked visiting the USA was 2016.

maire19.bsky.social•3 days ago

Should have announced she intended to work as a paid escort. Like Mrs Trump.

missymoo2.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was just deliberate, arbitrary, bastardry.

dlcsubs.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is also a money-maker for the private firm. They get paid every day she's there - why would they work to release her? And why hasn't the German consulate been able to get her out with a single call - don't tell, everyone's been fired! This is beyond ridiculous US tourism is dead

loulouwho.bsky.social•3 days ago

Have never ever wanted to go there…..
