Americans can end this attack on our friends and neighbors.
All hail King Donnie the Rapist !
I think this may be a BLESSING…
THIS IS SIMPLY SAD…
I’m sure that’ll help an already floundering economy.
Then he turns away, not his problem.
Rex was right.
I ask myself, who can still travel to the USA now? Anyone who tells me they have traveled there now I must classify as a MAGA supporter?
Normally they are checking for things like child exploitation but hey that only seema to expose republicans in the US so now they are checking for anti trump stuff
WTF?
or in judging and then punishing people because of their opinions.
is this what you are saying?
r u aware,that this is exactly fascist thinking+erase1.amendm.
understandible. But this was not clear in your post. It's not good to project your anger to other people, who have nothing to do with it.
I don't blame any victims, never.
I made a point of advise how to cope with fascist authorities, like (border) police.
It is a common knowledge of activists e.g. not to take your handy to a demonstration AT ALL.
at least,it wld b good to protect your privacy in any way, you can. This does not say, that you are to blame, when your privacy is violated. It just says, we all need to be more aware and protect ourselves from these fascists. that's all. The judgement was in your assumtion, not what -> I said.

Last time it seemed mostly racist (Russo was born in Cairo) although a specialist of WW II.
This time it's opposition to Trump = terrorism. Way worse because of the implications for everyone😨.

An immigration officer can search a cell phone and deny entry to a foreign visitor with all required passport documentation?
Someone needs to lose their job, and this need to be widely publicized!
The people (per the suspect electoral vote) elected the felons who targeted this scientist.
We need to educate the American public, and explain apathy & buying propaganda cannot be accepted anymore,
or our freedom of choice will destroyed.
I don’t think some random officer decided to start looking at the phone/ social media messages of travelers to prevent them from entering the country.
