@georgetakei As a German, I understand how much of a threat the U.S. can be. Living here myself, I share the concern.

@georgetakei Also Canada. Canadian snowbirds have been selling off their winter vacation spots as if they were Teslas.

2017 was the same #Bullshit. Now again, starting from Zero. It was #predictable. The #MAGA-#Idiots may laugh about this, but #american#Tourism goes way down now.

The 'land of the free' has turned into the 'land of the few' - the speed surprises me too, but I saw WHAT was coming during the election campaign.

We didn't come to this quickly. Our nation was used as a guide star for fascists before WWII. We also helped many Nazis flee and hide at the end of WWII, only to call them up when the CIA wanted to coup a country.
We didn't defeat the fascists but turned them into subcontractors. Now, those chickens have come home to roost.

Bearing in mind what you and your family went through in the US not so many decades ago, I sincerely hope you and yours will be ok.

@georgetakei As a Canadian I feel it has become dangerous to travel to the US.
Sadly, I have not visited your beautiful country in the last 12 years, except once in 2017 for a scientific expedition - the solar eclipse.
And even then I did not bring my cell phone by fear of having it confiscated or used to incriminate me or my contacts.

@georgetakei This isn't an official travel warning from Germany. This is just a piece of guidance that people may end up being arrested upon trying to enter the USA.

@georgetakei For Germany at least, it is not a warning, but an advice, which is a notable difference.
That said, I'm glad for my expat colleague that he just recently visited his sister in the US.
At this point I would be quite concerned, that he would be disappeared, when entering the US.

@georgetakei Everyone around me, including me, has either canceled a planned trip to the US or decided not to go there as long as Trump is in power.
Content Warning
@georgetakei Embarrassing. I am not proud to be American at this moment in time. If anyone asks where I'm from, I always add, "I didn't vote for him."

@georgetakei Recently my partner and I decided it would be a bad idea for us to even visit other countries and leave the US despite being citizens, as I wouldn't put it beyond this administration to question any non-white citizen who born outside the US.
Especially since we have a pre-schooler.

At this point, we should be issuing them too. In our current context, I can think of several ways a US citizen could end up in trouble if they leave the country and later try to return.
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
