Because you now did it to yourself.

    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.

      I am so fucking sorry you are in this shit and I wish you and your children good luck going forward. Sadly it seems like you will need it.

      *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.
