Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

That would be fantastic. I've been thinking a lot about early 1930's Germany lately, and the Jewish people who saw the writing on the wall there. The people who survived the Holocaust were mostly the ones who got out before it started.
I have queer kids. I'm currently working on moving my family to Canada.
Good luck! Every queer person needs to get out of America if they can. I fear for their safety. My daughter is queer and we just emigrated to the UK because of that.
I'm glad you had the means and ability to get your daughter out and you're a good parent for prioritizing her safety and well being.
Sorry to be annoying but you emigrate from and immigrate to.
Thanks!
Thanks. It's heartbreaking, because I love my city and I grew up here. I have a house. I have pets. I have roots. But the whole country is no longer save for my kids.
If I had no children, I'd stay and fight as best I can. But kids change the equation. I have to make sure they survive. And evidence strongly indicates that they're going to be targets of the new Nazis if we stay.
Hey, I've been thinking about this for the last few days... How did you do it? How did you get out so fast? I've got a house, I've got pets, I've got roots here. Pulling up stakes is slow and time-consuming.
And do you have a work visa? Or are you a dual-citizen?
I am a dual citizen, so I am lucky. If you have a parent who was born in the UK, was married to your mother when you were born, and you were born before 1983, you automatically qualify for British citizenship. Unfortunately, my daughter can only stay here for six months unless I get a job paying more than £29,000 a year, so that's my biggest concern at this point. Our savings won't last that long though.
OK, that makes sense. Sadly, all of my family have been here for four generations or more. My wife has one slightly easier potential option: If her father claimed Irish citizenship and moved to Ireland, she could piggyback on his Irish citizenship and claim it for herself and our kids, and I'd be able to live there as her husband. But that's really a non-starter, since her father has health issues that preclude a big move like that.
Right now, we're focusing on Vancouver, B.C., because my oldest wants to go to college there, and it's not too far away from where we are now in the Pacific Northwest. If I can get my company to move me, that will make it a lot easier, as they have an office there and my job is 100% remote anyway. But until he finds out if he's accepted or not, we're in a frustrating hurry-up-and-wait mode.
Good luck!
