    I told my work that I will not be travelling to the US under any circumstances until there’s no risk of me being detained in an ICE prison.

    Realistically I will not be travelling there for any reason for years to decades at this point. America as a country needs to go fuck itself for a while so it can really learn the lesson of how productive that is.

      Same, they can fire me over it if they want. Not gonna happen until a new party fixes everything that’s getting broken in the US. ICE and the current broad deregulation does not make it safe for visitors, nor Americans.

      As an American, just wanted to say sorry for being the fucking worst right now. We’ve hurt ourselves in our confusion.

      Currently fucking ourselves. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to have to get a lot more painful before most of the people who need to learn from it actually do.
