@Wyvernsridge As an American, I endorse this message.
@Wyvernsridge I'd rather visit Cleveland than anywhere in the South or Idaho and Montana.
@Wyvernsridge as a black Floridian, I approve of this message.
@Wyvernsridge
Try Martinique. The beaches are way better.
@Wyvernsridge It also needs to be Alt texted, I think.

@Tooden @Wyvernsridge

[Prohibitory symbol] STOP TRAVELING TO AMERICA.

It’s not safe — and your tourist dollars are funding fascism.

IF YOU’RE NOT AMERICAN:

  • Stay away. This is not the country you think it is.
  • Detention camps are being built faster than shelters.
  • Rights are being stripped faster than laws can be challenged.

IF YOU’RE AMERICAN:

  • Stop going to Florida.
  • They built a concentration camp in 8 days.
  • Thousands of people are being detained — not for crimes, but for existing in the wrong ZIP code, for speaking the wrong language, or for not having the right paperwork.

Instead of housing the homeless, feeding children, or funding healthcare… they’re building cages in the swamp.

DISNEY ISN’T WORTH IT.

THE BEACHES AREN’T WORTH IT.

YOUR DOLLARS SHOULD NOT SUPPORT FASCISM.

DON’T BE A TOURIST IN TYRANNY

@Wyvernsridge florida is not America. Flawridah IS Archetypal murrica, however.

@gentlegardener @Wyvernsridge

I think no one would be surprised to learn there are thousands of "pocket Florida's" all the freak over the US.

@Wyvernsridge If you're thinking of visiting #Hawaii, please remember: a) We're as blue a state as it gets, with zero Republican representatives in Congress; b) Our state government has sued the administration multiple times and stands in solidarity with #immigrants and #trans folks; and c) If you spend as many of your travel dollars as possible with local businesses, you're helping us #resist.
@BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge While I can identify with the pain of seeing good people in the industry hurt (my circles are museum and art folks in a red-run purple state, one of whom relocated from HI), nearly everything I see from indigenous Hawai’ians the last fifteen years has been begging tourists to stop coming to Hawai’i. I have worried that eventually there’d be a hard crunch on that economy sooner or later. This may be the chance for a slowdown transition instead.
@cwicseolfor @Wyvernsridge It's a little more complicated than that. There's a vocal faction that wants tourism gone, but roughly 16,000 native Hawaiians work in tourism-related industries, per state figures. Many of us of all ethnicities wish we were less dependent on tourism, but we need something to replace it.

@BruceMirken @Wyvernsridge

Visit New England...we have blue states, but ya still need to get through whatever bullshit awaits you at the airports.

@Wyvernsridge

@yinwolf
This is the reason I said you can't come visit. I promise it's not that I don't want to see you. It's that I don't want you disappeared!
For your own safety... STAY AWAY!

We can see each other again after the fascists are removed. Until then, we have the internet.

@Wyvernsridge

Good advice. Catchy bottom line: “Don’t be a tourist in tyranny”. 😐

@Wyvernsridge it's worth translating this to French and German and maybe Japanese. I lack the skills.
@the_turtle just did the Spanish version. Now on for the other languages [thanks for the idea!]
@Wyvernsridge harsh watching America self implode. When card carrying Democrats are pistol whipped and hog tied, protecting due process, the dream of Dr King’s speech evaporates on the tear gas of masked white men once again. But just try and make me go sit on the back of the bus, Amazon.

If it needs to be said, it needs to be alt-text:

@Wyvernsridge Disney World isn't worth it under any circumstance.

@Wyvernsridge

> “the beaches aren’t worth it”

the west coast has red tides, the east coast has seaweed harboring flesh-eating bacteria

@Wyvernsridge It's not safe to come here for any reason. They will search your phone when you arrive and if you have something they don't like on there, they will unlawfully detain you.
@Wyvernsridge I live in Florida, and I support this message.
@Wyvernsridge This country is safer than it has been in years and it's THANKS to the removal of criminals. Quit being so dramatic.
@JakobFel Oh! an actual MAGA acolyte!
@Wyvernsridge
The poster forgot "being the wrong color".
@Wyvernsridge @annecavicchi It IS the country they think it is, actually. Signed: Australian now living in the US.
@Wyvernsridge When I was much younger I used to fantasize about being an american citizen, I guess because of the US' total cultural dominance during the '80s in my country--when you turned on the TV there was a good chance an american tv show was running.
Now I can't even imagine going there for tourism, let alone to live. eww.
@dukeboitans @Wyvernsridge Even Texas was moving toward progressive in the 90s, because that’s what the people want, so it probably wasn’t wholly a delusion of media. It existed, but it’s been dismantled.
Seeing pictures sometime in the later aughts of Afghanistan in the 70s hit hard for me, because by then I’d been fighting a well-funded, increasingly overt clawing toward fundamentalism here for over a decade. Whether public will turns out to mean anything is yet to be seen.

@Wyvernsridge Mind editing this post to add the complete missing all text?
@Wyvernsridge which country from America continent are you talking about?
@Wyvernsridge I allready stopt going to the USA in 1998. I also visited other parts of America like Canada and Brasil. What is wrong with that?
@ximaar @Wyvernsridge
The United States of America.
They call themselves America and Americans. In Canada, I’ve never thought of us as part of America, but rather part of North America.
@Wyvernsridge this North American will not be going to the United States of America.
And it’s not just because of the tariffs as some of their citizens and politicians think (although that is part of it). It’s more about human rights.
We will visit Mexico, maybe places in South America, but not the USA.

I feel for the many decent people who live there.

@Wyvernsridge Part 3 of 3:

@cwicseolfor
The same can be said for other fascist States like Tennessee, Texas, etc.

@goodenough Yeah, nearly everyone I know here (TX) has been telling people not to come for a while. But it's also vitally important to distinguish between the public and the fascist rulers abusing them.

Part of how they've locked themselves in in TX is that without income tax, it all comes from property & sales, and SOMEONE will always own that property. So minimal consumption of taxed items (ie. other than food) if you're present, swap/ gift economies, DIY become resistance. Slow the engine.

@Wyvernsridge Don't be a tourist of tyranny

@Wyvernsridge The US has been rejected as leader of the free world. The free countries of the world now view the US as a threat, fallen and corrupted, in the grasp of a malevolent psychopath, in the process of sliding to the dark side at the hands of powerful free-reign Capitalists, the Capitalist end game. There was a chance under Biden, another under Harris, either rejected or manipulated away from the sheep by the wolves. The word is out, stay away. They’ve got our number.
@Wyvernsridge they intend to FEED the ALLIGATORS HUMANS 🚨☠🚨☠🚨☠🚨
@Wyvernsridge sadly my father, my older brother, and even my older sister won't ever listen to something like this... not because they are MAGA, but because they enjoy their vacations to Florida... and haven't seen anything to prove what is actually happening there.. I am the only member of my family that is sane enough to realize what is happening in Florida, and will NEVER vacation there ever.. Heck I happily take vacations to Switzerland to visit my girlfriend who is a Swiss citizen. NEVER going to vacation any where in the United States, and until I can figure out a good path to immigration into Switzerland I am going to remain a resident of my home state of New Jersey which happens to be a deep blue state
