I’m actually shocked that folks I speak to here in Ireland are still planning holidays in the USA.

Here’s a testimonial you might not find on Tripadvisor:
“like a concentration camp, absolute hell” – Seamus Culleton

Seriously, what’re you all thinking? DO. NOT. VISIT. THE. USA. FFS!
@aral U.S. citizen here. I love my country (and yours!) but now is not the time to come here. We cannot guarantee your safety and you would be normalizing Nazis. Wait until they are all in jail or in exile. We WILL get rid of them.

It's paywalled to shit, but at least I could grab a screenshot before the overlay kicks in.

@clickhere *smdh* It’s gross negligence to allow such an ad.
@aral It absolutely is.
It's extremely "spend your summer in Germany in 1933" vibes..
-
@clickhere @aral the problem is you have whole industries set up for this kind of stuff, and they're like "maybe it's ok, I'm not into politics".
Doesn't matter, they're still selling someone 6-9 months in a Texas concentration camp

@aral Same here. A co-worker wanted to travel to the USA a few months ago. I asked him to reconsider and advised against it. He went anyway.
Some more months prior to that I had already shown him pictures of Musk (and others) doing Hitler salutes. So it was pure ignorance.
Some (many) people are hopeless cases.
Luckily he came back and nothing happened to him. He's white.

@aral RTÉ 1 had an interview with him.
@fkamiah17 @aral The staff are Hispanic people? What?!
The two ICE goons that killed Alex Pretti also were both Hispanic.
I don't understand that.

Tourists are operating under the assumption that their consulates will fund a legal defense to retrieve them from ICE detention.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-allege-dept-homeland-security-denying-legal-counsel/story?id=129335914They won't, the individual is responsible for paying their lawyers, if they're permitted to get one.

Secondly, people are underestimating their fortitude as they pick vegetables for Walmart & Target in 104 degree heat.

@aral
I worry about my daughter and family going to Disneyland, Florida in the spring. They don't pay much attention to news reports about the US and being white, straight, married with kids they'll probably be ok. I'd rather they didn't go, for their own safety, but also because anything that hits the US economy is desirable. It's the only influence us non-US people have. But I can't stop them. -
