I’m actually shocked that folks I speak to here in Ireland are still planning holidays in the USA.

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 Culleton

Seriously, what’re you all thinking? DO. NOT. VISIT. THE. USA. FFS!

@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 yeah, I saw an article last week that student j1 visas were at the same rate as usual. These people are fucking mad. Sending their kids to fascist state

@aral If you have friends thaa ast you care about outside the U.S. - as I do - please, please talk with them about not coming here. IT IS NOT SAFE. If there’s even a chance of ending up in one of our nightmare concentration camps, it isn’t worth the risk!

@OGjester @aral Don’t worry !

@aral RTÉ 1 had an interview with him.

😈 Big Huge Donphan 🥵

@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.
