I knew things would obviously be terrible but I was still somehow not prepared for how *fast* he (or the people actually writing this shit and putting it in front of him to sign) would start fucking everything up.

For real. My husband feels the ADA was a sort of pinnacle, so seeing it threatened even indirectly through scrubbing all references to disability from the White House website makes him deeply nervous. I feel that the legalization of same-sex marriage and the incomplete but hopeful trends toward protections for trans…

I heard about it from our immigration lawyer today. Expect STEM OPT to go away, having to prove you recruited for Americans to fill your H1Bs (like you do with Green Cards), perhaps a lower H1B cap, a high minimum salary for L1s and a higher salary for H1Bs (probably $100k).

I was at a presentation today by an immigration lawyer. He said that people born in the named countries may find that they can’t come into the US even if they haven’t lived there in ages and may even have current US visas. He expects some technology executive to get stuck at the border because he was born in Iran,…

...d-did you see the poll toward the bottom? The one that says that 42-freaking-percent of Trump voters thinks he should be able to have a private email server?!

The Philadelphia mayor basically. Said the same thing. Turning out police force in to a deportation squad would reverse the years long downward trend in violent crime.

I would argue that the civil rights movement that occurred in the second half of the 20th century was never completed and, in response to the rise of white nationalism, is experiencing a much needed resurgence.

So, I’m reading the State Department fiasco, and the military is putting together a plan in case they need to take power in a few weeks, right?

So, I’m reading the State Department fiasco, and the military is putting together a plan in case they need to take power in a few weeks, right? I mean, at the very least some leftovers in the administration in the intelligence agencies are going to leak the Russian hacking information, right?

Shutting down the security theatre at 5th and 56th would be a good way to make some savings!

Not very if you head out to the prairie provinces. The Canada-US border is mostly just a 10 foot cut of land in the middle of forests out that way. Or go to that one Quebec town where one side of the street is Canada and the other is the US. Now if you want to come in legally? Get in line, it ain’t easy unless…

Come to Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay or Argentina. We value the contribution of foreigners and our governments aren’t as corrupt as what they used to be. We are far away from any nukeable zone.

I don’t know why Mexico and Canada don’t build their own walls to keep Americans out and skip trading/working with the US altogether.

Learning Spanish so I can move to Uruguay. (Only partly joking)

I’m prepping my escape to Ireland.

Quit it. We aren’t your fucking plan B.

It’s actually remarkable easy to do from Blaine WA. Don’t ask me how I know this, I just do.

You guys aren’t the only ones having panic attacks. We’re right next door and we’ll be one of the first nuked

My husband and I are compiling lists of countries that are good for expats if you want to move even further away. Sigh.

If you’re willing to be the back half of a moose, I’ve got a plan...
