Don’t tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?
“Mads told Nordlys he tried to explain the images as being harmless and meant as jokes but the immigration authorities ignored his pleas. He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.”

If you’re going to the US, backup your data and wipe your phone clean of everything personal. Play dumb, leave Facebook & Instagram installed etc.
Don’t do anything remotely fancy, because these mf-ers are just entitled children with a gun, they own you.
Or visit Europe

There are plenty of beautiful place to see and great people to meet in Europe too, and you can see and meet them all without subjecting yourself to Gestapo-style thuggery upon arrival.

Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.

If you have to go to the US as part of a business trip for work, just resign. It’s safer.

At this point absolutely! Things are only going to escalate. Especially once elections time comes around and the US citizens realize there won’t be another legitimate election.
