Fuck, this his hard. As a father of a gay child, and a trans child, our immediate plans are passports.

As you know, we’re in a similar boat. Thankfully, we can get to Britain and stay (in theory) but the prospect of telling my elderly mother and my wife’s family goodbye for the last time, finding the money, finding new jobs with my health issues, just downsizing so that we can move…

But we are doing it.

I hope you and your family find safety and my best wishes to all of you.

“Free” is used in the same way like the “Democratic” in “Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea”

Italy has a digital nomad visa now. Cost of living is so so but if you can freelance it’s not a terrible place to live as an expat. Source: am US dual citizen living here. Feel free to pm me with any qs

*Visa. Passport won’t be enough to travel to the EU and select other countries in 2025.

EITAS isn’t a visa, and you can do it without travel plans and it lasts 3 years, tied to your passport.

They’ve already done it to gay and trans people. Last time the Muslim ban was foiled by the courts. Now that the Republicans control the presidency, the SC, the house and Senate, little stands in their way. Project 2025’s Schedule F will see to that.

Some states did an amazing self-own tonight, and unfortunately both teams are going to endure some severe beatings. I feel absolutely sick right now. Poor us. Poor Ukraine. Poor middle east. Taiwan is so fucking boned.

Trump didn’t mean them when he said “they” were poisoning the blood of our country.

And, of course, they will never get rounded up and put in a camp. As long as they have the proper identification on them that shows they’re a citizen when checked. And the cop checking will believe that identification is both genuine and not stolen.

Imagine being Latino and trans in a red state. Those people definitely exist. I am very scared for them.

Yes, any criticism is just people with anger issues, that’s sorta my point guy.

Ed: also notice I get civility hits from everywhere else, the only ones that contain personal bias are yours.

It will though, the US passport offers a ton of visa-free destinations. Although it’s not immigration,it definitely helps

I imagine that’s going to change. Why would anyone welcome someone who statistically was very likely to have voted for a fascist? America will never be respected ever again
