Productivity loss due to childhood lead poisoning? +/- IQ loss from other toxicants like flame retardants? Can I do this remotely from New Zealand? 😃 Probably a bit much to ask 🫤

But what if you are a citizen? Because it sounds like citizens are being swept away along with everyone else. So is it any different?

So… it goes without saying that in another country the laws of that country apply to you there…right? But are they specifying that upon re-entry to the US that if you’ve been found to voice any dissent to 45’s agenda that the 1st and 4th amendments are not valid in customs entry areas?

But most the stories I’ve seen of non-US citizens being detained have all been crossing at the Mexico border. Maybe arriving by plane is not as risky

American in Ao/NZ here. I just booked a trip to see my family in the US in a couple months. I’m expecting this might be my last trip there. I don’t think I will ever be able to bring my kids for a visit anymore. If I wasn’t a US citizen I don’t think I would go there right now.

I hardly ever have people even mention it. If they ask I say I’m trying not to get sick, that my kids catch enough stuff on their own, I don’t need to add to it. And I’ve never had someone argue with that. 🤷♀️ Maybe I’m just lucky to not encounter many assholes.

My friend who works at a high school told me the lunch they got today was instant mashed potatoes. That’s it. Nothing at all mixed in or accompanying it.

Tiktok has bumped up major censorship since then though. Videos with big impact that aren’t kind to The Administration are promptly removed. Also you can’t even search his name. Results are blocked. And I’m not even in the US, I’m in NZ.

Yep. I applied for my NZ citizenship last night. I wasn’t in a hurry to do that until last week’s US news. Terrifying times.

This tells me the FDA is dead now. Pharmaceutical development will be massively impacted globally.

That was fun to read, thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see something today that’s not adding to my anxiety.
