A recent article in @dallasnews.com giving tips to NOT appear as an American tourist!! Was written by a guy who visited Turkey & ended up on wrong side of town & was chased!!
It's so weird. Over here in Australia they are saying America is safe but saying "use extreme caution" warning about France, Germany & Sweden.
Hong Kong has a warning about people being detained & unable to talk to lawyers, & I am looking at America & going, "Um, that doesn't look like Hong Kong."
So 🇦🇺 are warning you not to travel to 3 countries I would go without hesitation, but is saying the US, a country where my critical social media activity would get me in hot water is safe? Interesting to say the least.
There are countries with harsher warnings I would love to visit, too.
But the US is scary AF right now to me. I can't think of any part of my life or aesthetic or behaviour, other than being employed, that would be seen as good by America.
Really? The extreme caution is because they arrest you, for no reason, throw you in a windowless room for days, weeks, might fly you in an extermination camp in El Salvador (you might have a tattoo) or is it more because of pickpockets at the train station?
I’m definitely not going back to this shit show full of incompetent leaders of the country who’re struggling to keep their lies alined with each other - they’re a bunch of discriminating useless people.
I keep seeing this, and though I think it would be appropriate to issue such a warning, I've been to the UK Foreign Office website where such warnings are normally found, and nothing. Source please.
Compared to immigration laws and rules of the US, it is actually easier to live legally in most EU states. A number of countries are happy for sure if you bring some skills which are in demand.
With 27 different countries, it's best to look up the respective websites.
When I, sadly, returned to the US yesterday from the UK, our plane to Washington DC wasn't full at all. I can't blame anyone for not visiting. I didn't want to come home.
This will hit the entire tourism industry. I wonder how many U.S. citizens will travel too with a shaky economy. I would hope that U.S. Corporations would start to speak up against these policies
they should go ahead and pull out of the Olympics so that the people in charge get the message even better. They have turned us into the enemy. It's horrifying.
Never thought I would see the day, but here we are. Seriously considering canceling our trip to Vegas. The way things are going we might not have a choice
Please do not come to the states. The only thing Trump and his ilk understand is money. Many of his biggest supporters are hotel owners, AirB&B owner, etc... Until they hurt financially and put pressure on Trump to reverse course we are doomed. Please help us by staying home.
New York City is not America- you’ll feel at home here. There is a German school, for Germans, that has opened in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. We are different. Come see us and see the world on our streets.
My UK cousin just canceled her trip to the US. She said she may have some unflattering comments on her phone and doesn’t want to risk being imprisoned and tortured by ICE.
We’ve only had a democracy for 250 years. That’s a relatively short amount of time. Our basic rights (women, civil and gay) have only been around for less than a century.
My conspiration theory as a European:
MAGA aims at isolating Europe, making the US forget it even exists; so MAGA can claim White US citizens are
-the original White people on Earth,
-the actual Native Americans,
-thus none of them are (descended from) immigrants.

I think what best describes what’s happening is, you invite all your family & friends to come over 4 a BBQ you get your family 2 bring all the food & drinks, who happily do , all to impress your friends but you 4got that it’s the middle of winter & nobody likes your husband & don’t come , dump him
Sadly, after all the tourists ICE has detained I recommend no one come here for the next few years. It won't be safe until these people are out of power and in jail.
I heard this evening that Canadian flight bookings to the US are down 70%. Just wait for European and Aus/NZ stats. The US tourism sector is in for a tough time.
They don't need to give any travel advisories. No-one's going to the US unless they've no choice or they support that orange freak you have running the country and don't care about the state of the country.
It's dangerous over there. Pretty much everyone knows it without government advisories.
We’re gonna feel the hit in our summer tourism income. In our expensive universities that have students from other countries. It’s not gonna make us money to be isolationists.
I wonder... would average tourists who are thinking clearly need to really think twice before coming to the Trump Dump? Go somewhere fun and happy! #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

I wouldn't go there now anyway. I'd advise the people who live there to get out, too. It's only when they have no slaves will they recognise you as human and needed again. You need to snap them back into reality.
Isn’t that a shame? Tourist $$ that thousands of service workers will be laid off dye to Trump and his sidekick Musk’s inability to govern for all Americans.
Much more greatness is yet to be poured upon American heads. As the Orange Messiah said: "You will win so much that you will say, 'Please, Mr. President, enough of this winning, I can't take it.'"

Traveling abroad.. BE CAREFUL!!

Please make it easier for US to live in your countries.
Please.

..almost universally scorned at least
It’s not safe.
We are international pariahs,
It might be different today, with the internet and the intelligence of the rest of the world more firmly in play. We’ll see.
Though I routinely advise myself of this.
We can make Mac and cheese at home you know

I think the fascists want to isolate USA as much as they want to isolate Europe. United we thrive divided we fall.
