Well people don’t want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!
i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don’t show up in la.
Nazi Germany, China and Russia/Soviet Union set a rather bad precedent for this.
Attendance will double you say?
Yeah, I bet barely anyone will boycott it.
Not even CA can stop the ICE from harassing people at airports.
Couldn’t agree more, people need to get a lot more overt on this.
Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.
Yeah I think so too.
People have always talked about a long weekend in New York or a cruise from Miami.
Now it’s just dead. No mention of the US at all, other than the blithering baboon.Would not want to be a trans atlantic airliner this sunmer
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if you are trans-atlantic, their DEI policy mistakes this for something LGBT-related and you face automatic detention.
For sure family summer holidays are the sort of thing most people would be planning round about now. The lines at Disney World are going to be shorter this year…
I wanted to visit before the collapse, but it didn’t work out for multiple reasons.
Now I’m doubly sad that I didn’t go. Because if I would indeed decide to go now, it would be a coin toss if a random typo in some papers would land me in a gulag
no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later
If you’re lucky you’ll be deported back to your own country.
I don’t blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.
I don’t blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.
Even as a middle age, “white privilege” guy, I’m concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I’m liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.
i’m currently in the US supporting a queer minority group with services to provide access to an event to a global audience… i’ve done it every year, and this year i’m here only because i’d promised and it seems awful to that group to walk away
next year is going to be really hard: my presence here adds value to the economy and in some small way takes away from the boycott, helps to reinforce american centrism and gives advantage to US citizens (they can attend far easier, etc), not to mention im literally taking a risk that i could be detained for weeks and then banned from coming back
… but on the other hand, if i don’t come am i abandoning the community? am i abandoning a vulnerable group that needs support, and to be shown they’re not alone now more than ever? that globally, queer is normal, fine, valued - that they’re wanted and what’s happening is not normal
i hate that im having to make these choices, and i hate that i feel bad even for feeling conflicted when im not even living through it
IMO: you are tremendously more vulnerable than I am.
If you can leave the U.S. into a stable “home base”, you absolutely should.
From there you can try to use any open source Social groups to continue protesting against Trump.
Protect yourself above all else. Unless you’ve reached a point in your own “circle of life” that you’re willing to die for the insanity of America’s shit storm.
I’m at the age and experience I’m willing to die in defense of kind humanity vs. whatever the fuck is imploding in the U.S.
Best of luck!
Only 20 to 30%?
I don’t blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.
I’m worried of traveling outside of the US because that means I have to come back in through the borders again and be subjected to invasive searches
Ez, just skip the part were you travel back.
I heard something about you can go to EU and Australia for 180 days visa free with a us passport (might not be true, i don’t know) so if you have enough money / a job you can do as a digital nomad you could technically move back and forth and you’d still live in a western country. Although I you could afford that I guess you can buy some kind of golden visa somewhere and just migrate there.
You can look up and compare this kind of thing on this handy website: United States of America Tableau de bord | Passport Index 2025 https://www.passportindex.org/passport/united-states-of-america/
Cool site, thanks for the tip!
Land of the free
On the bright side, if they refuse you entry you get to live somewhere else.
Yeah, I don’t want to get detained for a week and sent to el salvador.
Marketing opportunity - TWO countries for the price of ONE!!!
I guess that pineapple they are fucking you with has a silver lining
I wonder how low it will go. I was tentively planning a holiday trip to New York and another to a conference in Chicago. Both of which are totally off the cards having seen the horror stories of people having their phones searched, refused entry and even being detained for extended periods without justification.
Instead, I think I’m going to finally make a long wished trip to Canada.
I do feel sorry for those working in the US tourism and hospitality industry. It’s hardly well paid work and often filled by new migrants and the young / students. It won’t start recovering until the craziness of ICE abates but it’s the sort of damage that is fast to take place and takes a long time to heal once it’s reversed - and a reversal isn’t even on the cards for the foreseeable future.
I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.
Fuck em. The Olympics are now the ultimate corporate show because of American influence. Best to die anyway as they certainly aren’t a show of amateur sport any longer and haven’t been for decades. It’s a major cash grab for a few wealthy sponsors, advertisers and IOC committee members more than a place for “underrepresented” sport to have a competitive international arena.mot to mention at all the pro athletes who ruined the concept by attending.
especially considering the us is pulling visas for athletes.
When the US Olympics are worse than the literal 1936 Nazi Olympics
Love olympic athletes and the sport of it, loathe the perennial corruption in the IOC (olympic comittee).
Olympics are probably the worst organization out there.
Totally understandable, a lot of us who live here wish we didn’t right now.
You guys deserve better than this. I hope you get justice
Thanks. We’ve been through worse, just not in my lifetime. I feel bad for the effects America has on the rest of the world. IMO the US should be a group of smaller countries. But then we’ve still got China and Russia, so I dunno. I just wish people all over didn’t let so many assholes be in charge - but that’s always been a problem.
I actually am an EU-federalist mostly because big countries exist, and I’d rather be one than be bullied by one.
Good, who would want to visit Nazi Germany. Trump’s admin has basically labeled anyone, not a Trumper, an enemy of the state, or is trying to label them as such.
Admittedly surprised. I thought it would be like the Bush years when they proclaimed their distaste of the US while still dreaming about living/visiting places like New York and LA.
