The US is facing an unprecedented decline in tourism revenue in 2025, standing alone among major global economies in this downturn largely due to the impact of the America First policy.
Not only tourism. Scientists are cancelling conference attendances of fear they‘ll get harassed or deported (which already happened). It’s such a shame because science need exchange.
We are lucky that we live in a time with the Internet so they can still communicate with each other pretty easily. In the past when things like this would happen they didn’t even get that. Hopefully we can still make progress in spite of this
Just had a prominent colleague return from a conference in Italy. He was stopped at the border and questioned for several hours, making him miss his flight.
And don’t come back with some type of bs about how is he supposed to do that? I keep hearing from literally everybody.
Trump sues everyone in this country. You could sue anyone for anything sue them do something anything. Literally anything is better than nothing - write a fucking article! I keep hearing about everyone’s fucking friends. I don’t care about your fucking friend. Where are they? Why aren’t they fucking writing something? Why aren’t they doing altering? Literally anything with their position they have that’s much higher than the people I’m working with now who are attempting to help and they’re literally artists and people that work in grocery stores and retired folks meanwhile, scientists are getting stopped at the border and their friends are and telling us this bullshit while I don’t see any first hand accounts barely and when I do, they are just on social media!
They have power in their position where the fuck are they? Why aren’t they fucking telling everybody? Why aren’t they fucking suing them? Do something, anything, just do something!
Then they’re cowards. They’re already bowing to fascism and yeah, I’m going to say it straight up. They’re fucking cowards and they should be called out for It. If you’re fucking leaving the country if you’re afraid to speak up and you have actually something that’s worth saying if you have some way to attempt to stop this and you do nothing out of fear you’re a fucking coward.
I’m just gonna say this we’re all going to die so quit pretending like you won’t if you have something that will help other human beings and you are too afraid to use it. Fuck you you piece of fucking shit. You cowardly piece of shit. You will deserve what you get.
Foreigners have no obligation to come to the US. Them not coming and not spending cash here is another crack in the dam that can help lead to the flood.
Organizers have no obligation to hold events with an international audience in the US. Them spending that cash in a foreign land deprives the US of revenue and likewise is another crack in the dam.
Besides, this regime in DC is actively attacking science as a whole to force their false narratives onto the public.

They’ll have to hold their conferences somewhere where they’re safer.
Republicans are actively anti-science and defunding scientific research wherever they can, so they won’t care.

Was your colleague stopped by the Italian border police or the ones in the USA?
And he’s getting a lawyer and suing them right?

I think a boycott is a pretty effective way to protest and they are in a unique position where doing so is noticed by some.

I’m not coming to America and sacrificing my life for their piece of shit government. They can fix their own fucking problems.
