I don't think folks who aren't in the queer community (or a PoC or Jewish) quite understand how concrete our plans are to GTFO of America if needed. Access to medication (including hormones) is a worry if we needed to leave.https://twitter.com/skimbrel/status/1058349202370027520 …

I worry about my cats, but I also know that I have some awesome white cishet friends who would care for them if need be. I worry more about my queer family and my elders who I occassionally provide care for.

Making plans, researching options for where to go takes a lot of mental energy. If you want to be an ally, you can offer to do research for friends on safety measures and visas/immigration.

Dutch American Friendship Treaty. It's an entrepreneur visa but the minimum investment is €4500 (waaaaay lower than usual for such visas) and that ends up in a local LLC that you own, so it's not actually a fee. Possibility to upgrade to permanent resident over time.

I thought about that as well. However, a white nationalist party is now the second most popular political party. Steadily gaining momentum since 2006. So it seems like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
