I’m actually shocked that folks I speak to here in Ireland are still planning holidays in the USA.Here’s a testimonial you might not find on TripAdvisor:“like a concentration camp, absolute hell” – Seamus Culletonhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/irish-man-seamus-culleton-ice-detentionSeriously, what’re you all thinking? DO. NOT. VISIT. THE. USA. FFS!#Ireland #USA #ICE #fascism

@aral Because a bunch of amoral people want to have fun and don't care about the expense it comes at. I mean, international air travel right now is basically environmental suicide of the highest order and you can't convince people that they are drowning the very beaches they are visiting.People suck.

@aral Sadly, people who aren't paying attention or aren't willing to drop their pride for even a second are the ones making the decision to vacay in a fascist country.

@aral I've seen quite a few people shrug it off with a "they've always been like that", not realizing why it's different this time around.

@aral they're thinking that the dollar is in collapse & they will get a cheap vacation but i would not advise people to visit at this time, you are not helping us by providing money / tourism dollars / business to this administration & make no mistake, money spent here now is not going to regular people, it's going to a few bribe-takers & authoritarians

@aral The country where I was born still has many problems, but it is a free democracy(we almost lost it a few years ago to a fascist government >> Bolsonaro).We are a large repository of various ethnic groups that migrated here at some point in history, mainly Europeans.My ancestors are swedishwho mixed with other ethnic groups.We welcome tourists from all over the world,as well as refugees.Perhaps we should show solidarity with each other, to see if it works.https://paydayreport.com/brazilian-federal-police-detain-melk-but-release-him-after-lecture-on-immigration-policies/

Personal sovereignty isn't just about code; it's about our physical and financial metabolism. Every cent and every byte sent into captured territories feeds the very infrastructure that enclosures us. Tourism is often the soft power layer of extraction we forget to patch.

@aral Tourists are operating under the assumption that their consulates will fund a legal defense to retrieve them from ICE detention.https://abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-allege-dept-homeland-security-denying-legal-counsel/story?id=129335914They won't, the individual is responsible for paying their lawyers, if they're permitted to get one.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/alligator-alcatraz-detainees-held-without-charges-barred-from-legal-access-attorneys-sayhttps://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-deportation-detention-true-costs/Secondly, people are underestimating their fortitude as they pick vegetables for Walmart & Target in 104 degree heat.https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-investigation-c6f0eb4747963283316e494eadf08c4e1/

@aral And, when they're detained by ICEholes they'll whine, "I didn't know it was THAT bad!" Trust us, it's THAT bad. You might as well take a vacay in Gaza.

@aralWhat you have to realize is ICE has what amounts to a no constitution zone anywhere within a hundred miles of an international border, including coastlines; they need no reason to stop you in here. This affects all of FL, MS, Louisiana, and NJ, petty much all of New England, most of CA, OR, and WA, NY (all of NYC), MI, WI, PA, large chunks of every other border state north and south.. basically about half the land mass and 9/10's the population.I suppose Colorado is still okay to visit.

@aral I saw a poster ad for USIT on the bus on Sunday, extolling the joys of student summer visas (J1, etc.) in the USA. Couldn't fucking believe it. #MastoDaoine #FuckICE

@aral something I said previously may be of interest - I (and I presume other Americans like me) will presume that if you are a white personal visiting the US for pleasure (not business) going forward, you are perfectly fine with the fascism and racism. Yes I am judging.

@aral I live in the U.S. and I concur. Don't come to the U.S. if you don't want to risk being sent to a prisoner camp in El Salvador. Cuz the assholes running this country JUST DON'T CARE.

@aral I just watched a video about who should GTFO, GYST, or Eyes Peeled. This was for citizens and long-time residents who know the rules, and though the categories were kind of a joke, the gist wasn't. She's a lawyer, and she knows she'll be called out in very real ways if her data is wrong. I feel like a rabbit near the river... you know, where the hawks & eagles hang out.Let's hope none of those travelers get a Darwin Award, eh?

@aral Dear world,Stay the hell away from my country. We cannot guarantee your safety.Cut off all economic ties with us. Our government is ruled by billionaires, and damaging our economy is the only thing they will respond to.

@aralYou have to do some motivated reasoning to think it's OK in any way shape or form.I just blew my $ budget and carbon budget to link up with US friends who were travelling overseas, coz I know this might be the last chance to see them.
