Don’t tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?
Remember some year ago when people were posting online like “in Russia it’s illegal to post this picture of Putin 🤣” with this pic: Image
Now that’s the USA.

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
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.
For now. It’s not looking to bright over here either, but compared to the US it’s much better ofc.
Or come to Canada. We’re mostly nice. Ignore those bots in Albertastan
hmm, I was thinking about visiting Calgary this summer. What’s up with Alberta?
Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.
I’d ignore Quebec, anywhere else is beautiful.
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.
Or, if at all possible, don’t do business with the US.
“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.”
Blood for Memes, incredible
blood samples
I guess the rules changed since 2020:
cbp.gov/…/cbp-meet-legal-requirement-collect-dna-…
CBP is NOT collecting DNA from persons encountered under the following circumstances:
Aliens lawfully in, or being processed for lawful admission into the United States;
Aliens held at a Port of Entry during consideration of admissibility and not subject to further detention or proceedings;
Aliens held in connection with maritime interdiction;
or When the FBI system, NCIC, indicates CODIS already contains a DNA profile for the individual.
As much fun as we’re having sharing and resharing this ridiculous image of a ridiculous person, this is actually a very serious problem.
gee, i hope no one reposts this image. on every platform. every day. from now on.
This poor guy was abused and it speaks terribly about the nature of the U.S. There are so many people willing to beat and abuse other people for no other reason than they are given a green light to do so. It’s pretty disgusting. People are afraid to voice criticism. When I criticize the U.S. it’s because I believed all of the things I was told as a kid that were only partly true, that it’s a great county. When people criticize the U.S. they are holding it to a higher standard, they want it to be better. If you can’t take criticism you’re weak and it shows you don’t want to improve or make corrections.
Got lucky. Next person they find with one will be sent to the concentration camps.
They will not stop with tourists and immigrants. They’re preparing to crush democratic resistance.

Did anyone else immediately think of Galen Erso?
In all seriousness this is really scary and I’m glad the guy is ok.
