      I refuse to patronise the ICE facilities just because I’ve been shitposting about Trump.

    Some guy in the White House said the US doesn’t need us or our stuff. Then fine, our money will be used to grow our own economy.

    and this, unlike tariffs, is actually money coming in that’s being lost, vs simply be re-distributed.

    Only -10% in March, year on year. I was surprised it’s only down by that much, but the lots of people plan their trips a long time in advance and canceling can be complicated. I wonder what the summer will bring.

    Well with all the tourist/work visa suprise jails stories that happen right now it does not surprise me. Plus the boycott due to tariff and other diplomatic masterclass

    if you believe this guy’s account, the border guys are just getting more brazen.

    He says the official then told him: “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.

    I remember having border fun way back in the day (2012?) and I’m Canadian and had a TN1 visa and was just doing some contract work in New York just for a bit. One guy was just giving me shit. In his broken Vietnamese accent he said: “you are trying to come to our country to take our jobs”. I’m half-Viet and I was like “I’m here to do a gig this week and will be going home” … in my mind I was thinking … “that’s a weird thing to accuse me of with that accent …”

    I live here and I’m boycotting domestic travel. I’m scared to get anywhere near TSA right now. They might try and steal my passport if I get clocked
