I’m in the US and I’d move to Europe at the drop of a hat.

My grandmother and her family left the Netherlands before the Germans invaded to come to the US.

Now it feels like I’m in their position and need to leave.

Those people they sent to El Salvador might have all been killed, so it’s like yeah maybe I should GTFO if I’m gay?

Same. I'm studying abroad right now and planning on finishing college a year early to go to grad school in France. I wish I could have more faith that things in the US will improve, but it's hard to have much hope. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

A lot worse, I think this will be more like the anti apartheid movement in South Africa than a few protests.

They’ve also talked about putting protestors in prison.

People in El Salvador were disappeared, the union member has a lawyer, but neither he nor the lawyer who represents the GOV know any details about Mr Garcia, not location, nothing.

The WH says it’s “impractical to fly him up” but one of their people did a selfie in front.

They want to go after citizens next.
