Summary

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich urged a global boycott of U.S. travel to protest Trump’s policies, warning his administration is “brutally attacking U.S. democracy.”

In a Guardian op-ed, Reich called on foreign visitors, students, and skilled workers to reconsider coming, citing economic and safety concerns. He argued withholding tourism revenue could pressure Trump.

His plea follows Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown and rising tensions with Canada.

Reich’s call comes as Canadian travel to the U.S. has already shown signs of decline.

    I don’t know if getting through to his core base matters - they are and always will be a lost cause. But people should protect themselves and Americans should feel the pain economically, from the top to the bottom.

      I think we need a proper schism, the only way we got them under control last time was with a civil war, but personally kicking out all the vile southern trash sounds like the best possible outcome for everyone.

      We can live in a civilized country, and they can wallow in their own shit raping their sisters, ok obviously that doesn’t work out for their women but we can start an underground railroad to funnel them to the real world.
