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.
And businesses analysts??
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?
Any trans person trying to get to the states right now needs to strongly reconsider.
Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?
yeah it's def not
"Welcome aboard Captain, all systems online"
right now
"Emergency, hull failure imminent, abandon ship"?
idk that one. by the time i was on fire the whole family is dancing
Any trans person trying to immigrate to the US right now should be rejected on psychological grounds. Not that being trans makes one mentally deficient. But being a trans person trying to come IN to the US right now really suggests some serious judgment or mental health issues.
I get it, it's tasteless, but I get it.
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.
So. Can anyone name 10 female college athletes. Since they are so concerned for them.
I'm genuinely confused how college sports is so big in the US.
Who in their right mind besides parents and maybe friends gives a flying fuck about sports tournaments of amateur young adults?
Colleges spend obscene amounts of money on college sports, often to the detriment of actual education. And they fight like hell to prevent the athletes from seeing any of that money.
At least, that's what I think goes on, I can't stand sports fandom in general so that ain't my world at all
I think most people like it because it's similar to professional sports but with fewer primadonnas and marketing. I think they think it's more "pure."
You want us to name all 10?
Name any 10 female athletes in College athletics. If you are so concerned with Trans athletes. Thats what I mean. Not saying you don’t respect trans athletes.
I was joking that there's literally about 10 trans athletes in college sports out of a couple hundred thousand total, it's crazy how much of a non-issue it really is
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.
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.
What will happen if a transgender person shells out the money for Trumps "Gold Card"?
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.
