Hi, if you are an immigrant to the US and you don't have lots of resources ($ or access to lawyers), I am happy to do a call with you to tell you about what I know, and to also help you look at immigration resources together.

@skinnylatte They typically allow American citizens to enter on an autoamatic or electronic 90-day tourism visa, though, so Americans get to flee first and deal with the paperwork of claiming asylum later. By 90 days from now, Pumpkin Bis might well have staged a mass deportation event for TV, which would likely impress European / Australian immigration officials about the severity of the persecution situation there, at the very least, to ward off summary dismissal of the asylum claim (which, I hear, would typically take about a year to two years, except in Spain, where there's an extreme shortage of immigration bureaucrats, so the short procedure with negative response can take up to four years. By which time, if Pumpkin will still be around, there will probably be a new and more severe basis for an asylum claim.)

@riley that’s totally excluding most of the people I’m speaking about in this post: immigrants TO the U.S. who are going to face far more onerous, and frankly far more racist immigration procedures than to the U.S. For most people getting domestic papers straightened up is far more realistic.

@riley aus is never going to go against Trump in any meaningful way they are halfway there themselves. I will eat my socks if they do.

@skinnylatte I might have misunderstood your point. Apologies for that; my ADHD is currently unmedicated.

@skinnylatte Can you offer help if I want to immigrant away from the US to another country?
-
@willow1958 i won't do that personally, as I like most other countries even less than the US, as an immigrant here who has also lived in those countries, but you can always check out https://www.reddit.com/r/IWantOut/

@skinnylatte Thank you. Up until recently, I felt the same. Unfortunately, I will not be able to afford to live here much longer.

@willow1958 https://www.reddit.com/r/IWantOut/comments/1gl30fa/guide_the_basics_of_immigration_in_summary_for/ there aren't many options. good luck

@skinnylatte I will offer my help with body doubling if you are an immigrant with ADHD tendencies who needs help filling out the maze of forms for US visas. I can also be the nagging, annoying person to help you finish all of those tasks in time.

@adamhsparks "What? You Trumpericans have a bunch of people you don't want? We Australians are extremely happy to take them! For a small fee, we're happy to do you a favour, and let you put them right on next ship to Nauru!"

@divya @skinnylatte hi, can we be friends? i would definitely need both at some point in the near future

@skinnylatte @riley you’re also forgetting that Trump is writing the fascist playbook that will inspire grifters over the world. And as an immigrant to Australia I am very concerned about how long climate here will be habitable if the world doesn’t sort itself out!

@FrancescaJ No I haven't. Look my other toot about Germany's govrnment collapse just a couple of hours ago. @skinnylatte
