Small summary:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing new rules set to go into effect early next year that allows U.S. border agents to check the social media history of all incoming visitors

Foreign visitors could be asked to submit up to five years of social media history when applying for the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which allows citizens of 42 countries to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa.

In June, the U.S. State Department also issued instructions to screen for advocacy for, aid, or support for foreign 'terrorists' and other threats to U.S. national security, as well as 'support for unlawful antisemitic harassment or violence.'

That's insane.

This title is so funny because Israel has become the biggest country of Nazi sympathizers and they label everyone who opposes genocide as Nazis. So now we have Nazis calling those they oppose Nazis, and their opposers calling them Nazis. I guess key takeaway is everyone has become a Nazi to someone else.

Unless you're a centrist, then nobody's a Nazi and how dare you call anyone that, even if they did sieg heil and parrot Nazi talking points.

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No in that case everyone else are Bolsheviks, Chavistas & Hamas

We are all Nazis on this cursed day.

I thought this was an Onion headline, for real.
But it's actually for real real.

Our leadership is deranged. A decent representation of a few groups of people with far too much political power. Satire and parody are dead.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 0 points 10 months ago

Nah they're not dead. It's just gotten ridiculous out there.

Who the fuck else is visiting now?

[-] asg101@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

People who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves? And who are white enough not to worry.

All states are, but leaving that aside for a moment, Buchanan was the president before Lincoln and the Civil War for a reason.

God I want to get out of this country

Nope, still getting stuck in a captcha loop. It may be my strict browser privacy settings. I tried the wayback machine but they don't seem to have archived this article yet

Boycott US

2750 readers
322 users here now

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Join 50501.chat to fight back!
