I think that's wise. It is far from clear that, as a practical matter, the U.S. is still governed by the rule of law.
(I am a naturalized U.S. citizen, but even that doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence that the government won't fuck with me. I am having to think long and hard nowadays before saying anything critical of the U.S. government on line.)
Only come to the US if you really have to do so. I also think conferences should move elsewhere in more neutral and accepting places.
US under the name of nationalism has become quite a racist country. I have a common surname and I always get stopped and questioned because I have a certain surname. Half an hour extra for every international flight even though I am a permanent resident here.
It’s just stupid. Traveling to/from US is a menace.
