Ron De Harte said that Canadians make up a significant component of their travel industry, with roughly 300,000 Canadians coming to Palm Springs every year.
I’m just counting the days 'til they declare trans people like me not just unpersons but actively illegal, and hoping the passport I requested actually shows up…
I hope your passport shows up too… but I have a friend of a friend who is post-transition, but had their passport reverted to their birth gender because DoS is apparently doing that now. If that happens to you: I think maybe you have a good case to drive up to the Canadian border and request asylum/refugee status or something like that.
It’s fucking insane that I’m even suggesting that to another American, in America. And it’s even more insane that it’s a reasonable and feasible idea.
Why the fuck would I want to visit the United States?
They’ve already kidnapped/ unlawfully held a Canadian citizen without anything resembling due process.
So the proposition is:
Please come back, put money into our local economy, but we have no control over ICE kidnapping you.
Also, we want to annex you.
Also, even if we somehow get rid of Trump, we will collectively do nothing to prevent the rise of another Facist movement.
As one of your southern neighbors, I agree with you. This is not a safe place for you or anyone from any other country right now.
Hell, it’s not a safe place for me.
