Thank you. It’s not unusual to see Floridians who embrace the resistance, have an open mind and respect people of all ethnicities, faiths, and gender identities.

Um, our country also has a serious racism problem. Just sayin’.

Excuse me, but there are some people that live in Florida who are actually decent, forward thinking & caring citizens. Every state has a great side and a terrible side. It’s bad enough to be living with a kleptocracy, but do we need to vilify an entire state? The resistance is present in all of the country.

I live in Florida. I deserve a fucking medal.

My Egyptian husband and I were thinking of visiting the US. And although Egypt is not on the list, my husband still looks like a Muslim and we decided against it. He also has a bit of resting-I’m-going-to-murder-you-face, so I really don’t think it’s a good fit right now.

yup. I pulled out of 2 conferences and one vacation. I’m not handing over my info and I’m not risking 1000s of dollars on cancelled travel plans.

European here: I can confirm that, since none of my friends or acquaintances plan on travelling to the US in the next four years. We’ve all traveled to the US multiple times and would certainly have done it again in the foreseeable future, but we simply do not feel safe given the current situation.

All it takes is one heavy handed CBP dick to sour a vacation. We’re going to lose billions in tourism dollars. They don’t need to vacation in the US anymore.

When Trump signed the original travel ban, I had an Australian writer friend wondering if he should come to a Con in the U.S. He was slated to appear at a prominent con because he’s a well known writer for DC comics. I advised him not to come, that if I wasn’t American I wouldn’t risk travel to the U.S. He ended…

That’s just knee jerk reactionary. And lazy. How are we going to fight this pox on our country with such simple responses? The Girl Guides aren’t pointing out Florida’s idiocy, the South’s idiocy, but all 50 states bat shit craziness who elected this asshole president. Get it together and post something meaningful…

I saw a news story last week about a Canadian citizen - born here - whose parents are from India. She has tried to travel to the US twice since Trump was elected and was turned away both times because of made-up issues about her needing a visa because she’s an immigrant, which she is not. She’d already booked a group…

As a Canadian, I won’t be going to the U.S. until Trump is out of office. I resent the fact that innocent people are being denied entry based solely on their skin colour. My co-workers friend was denied entry because she was brown skinned - her religion, Sikh, is not even remotely close to muslim. I have a feeling…

CBP has always asserted the authority to carry out border searches of electronics. But under the last few months of Obama, they asserted the power to demand that foreign travelers turn over passwords of all social media as well, plus email, so that they can read things not even stored locally on your device. Trump…

They’re saying tourism in the U.S. (among foreigners) is already plummeting under Trump. We’re talking billions. Just a reduction of 5-8% could cost us hundreds of billions in tourist dollars.

Boom goes Florida’s economy.

New York City is also projecting that there will be 300,000 fewer tourists. Because people are hearing stories of CBP treating people like shit and deciding that it’s just not worth the risks. And the idea of forcing people to hand over passwords is terrifying for the business crowd, so business travel should be down…

Yeah, I noticed that. When you consider Steve Bannon’s (patently, absurdly false) claim that more than two-thirds of tech CEOs are Asian ethnics, it becomes pretty obvious that this Administration despises all sorts of non-whites—but especially the ones who have been most economically successful. What’s…

Good luck. My ex ended our marriage, in an incredibly shitty and passive-aggressive way, but I have to say 3+ years on, I am much happier on my own. Maybe you’ll meet someone new, maybe you won’t. Maybe like me, you’ll make new friends, buy your own house, have a great job you really enjoy, travel, and drink a lot of…

Make prostate exams and testicular ultrasounds a requirement for getting a viagra prescription.

But, the release of sperm is largely voluntary. Millions and millions of half-babies are killed with each release. Women only ovulate 300 eggs over a lifetime.
