Yeah... I had two trips planned to the US this year, fortunately neither firm-firm enough to prevent me cancelling.

Going to take a hard line at work about travel there for the next four years. I'm going to miss the annual conference in Boston I usually go to every year.

C'est la vie. Other such conferences exist elsewhere, in less batshit mental countries.

BBC NewsWelsh tourist in US chained 'like Hannibal Lecter'Becky Burke's parents say her legs, waist and hands were secured by US immigration officers.

@rhys I think that's the course of wisdom. Many of us on the inside are aghast at what's happening here.

@analogfusion It's a shame because I do have a deep fondness for the US, even despite how bonkers you all are even in normal times — but rarely had the opportunity to explore.

I'm choosing to optimistically believe that there'll be plenty of time for that after this stormy present passes though.

@rhys I want to hold out hope, but when this new era does end, I have no idea what will be left of this country to explore.
