Meanwhile in the UK… not a peep. Spineless Starmer.
Don't spend your money or travel time in the US or w/ US companies. Especially Florida!
@stux I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am scared to go through US customs to go to the States AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM BIRTH. If I'm scared then none of you should touch it with a 50ft pole. (sidenote: I know Imperial units are stupid. 50ft pole just has a better ring than a 15m one)
@stux The official page https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/10-2-8reisewarnungen does not have any warning for the US.
@stux UK gov not really saying a thing about the current situation. Serving up some platitudes.
@stux At first, I was going to make a sarcastic comment, with sarcasm aimed at Germany, but then I realised that, of course, while a lot of us already know very well not to go there, Germany stating it officially means taking it to a new level. Hence, I acknowledge this development with no sarcasm.
@stux That's not entirely true. They point out that there's currently a winter storm and that there's demonstrations, and they advise "Verhalten Sie sich ruhig und folgen Sie den Anweisungen der Behörden und lokalen Sicherheitskräfte." So basically "behave and follow the instructions of the local autorities and emergency services".
@stux with germany crackdown on anti occupation and anti genocide protesters and german police brutality I wouldn't go to germany either
@stux Germany's already had enough dealing with Nazis historically and does not want to go through that again.
@stux I live there and I don't even want to go there!
@stux
"Makes total sense"
Well yeah. It's a statement of fact.
@stux Hey, as much as I hate to hear this, I have to agree. The US is a shit show right now.
@phillycodehound @stux
Don't stop resisting. Does not have to be this way.
@stux Where'd you see this? I can't seen anything on https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/10-2-8reisewarnungen but https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382?isLocal=false&isPreview=false is a read and a half.
@blindcoder Jimmy Kimmel or Late Night with Seth 🤔 one of those
There are some warning which have been added regarding Minnesota, but not a warning in general, which would as far as I know mean you could get travel compensation so it is very high stakes to add.

@stux According to the @minbzk, there is nothing unusual to be taken in account when traveling the the US. 🤔 All green. Last updated in October 2025. 🕸️

@stux I planned to come home, but it's not a home I recognize.
@stux I wouldn't come here if I wasn't already stuck here.
