Fascist state oppressing minorities.
MAGA is evil.
This is a prime chance for another country to scoop up a shit ton of American talent. Start offering deals to scientists, teachers and athletes to come over to a safe and sane country.
Basically do what the US did in the 50s?
Project ~~paperclip~~ programming socks
Wernher Von Braun in programming socks is something I wasn't anticipating to think about today.
But what about Hitler in a Playboy bunny suit?
New hitler or old hitler
Both is "good"
Yup
Yeah, sadly. I love this country, but people have to be safe.
I'm taking that gig as soon as I get an offer.
I already fled Texas to start hormone therapy, and I'll flee Colorado for foreign shores in a heartbeat.
I feel like I've stagnated career/life wise enough that I'm not particularly desirable enough to get that kind of offer though. I don't speak a second language and my skill set is at best higher tier tech support :/
Apply anyway, the worst they can say is no.
Come to New Zealand. It's nice here.
I do have a ring i could drop in a volcano... (/s)
And businesses analysts??
with the systemic rise of anti-intellectualism, and defunding stem research, i think it will cause a reverse brain drain.
If I'm reading it correctly, the order denies visas to non-Americans seeking to come to the US. In which case, it's honestly doing them a favor. From one trans person to another, it's not safe here.
Surely this will help the cost of food!
At this point I think we should stop being coy and just say things like, "More proof that it was about bigotry, not the economy."
I was gonna say... /smh
Don't be shy, it's time to start shaking smh your head out loud.
Reminder: not only was Rubio the first Trump 2.0/Musk 1.0 nominee to be confirmed, it was UNANIMOUS WITH NO ABSTENTIONS 🤬
He's by far the most qualified candidate of his picks. Which shows just how awful the rest are.
You claiming even Bernie Sanders confirmed him?
Eggs
A dangerous way to get around this ban.
eggs
I wonder if Trump will start to say he hates eggs, due to the implication.
I wonder how this could work in practice if someone has an updated passport. It's almost like it's a catch-22, if you put your birth sex on the visa application, it's denied because it doesn't match your passport, but if you put the sex from your passport, you are banned for fraud.
I'm sure that's intended unfortunately
For fuck's sake.
What will happen if a transgender person shells out the money for Trumps "Gold Card"?
Depends on how much money and praise they give him.
Give it a few months and this will probably affect all trans immigrants. What a shithole country.
This a distraction to keep average Republican voters from noticing they've been fooled, and no tax cuts for them, just the wealthy. Expect more of this to coincide with taxation news
Loving that "small government" and "States' Rights" that are so sacred and important... Oh, until they can hurt people they hate and don't understand.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
