If safety's on your mind for DrupalCon Chicago, you should stay away.

If it's not on your mind, what's wrong with you?

[pcambra@drupal.community]

@jpoesen how so?

[jpoesen@drupal.community]

@pcambra How so what exactly?

[jpoesen@drupal.community]

@pcambra Does it need explaining that *nobody* is safe traveling in or into the US?

If the organizers really cared about their community they would cancel or at the very very least dissuade people from traveling and attending.

Do not travel to the USofA, part XXXIV: - doing everything right is not enough - white skin does not protect you - detention may mean a cell shared with 70 people, fighting over food, without medical supplies - your signature will get forged if you refuse - judge orders for release on bail are ignored https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/irish-man-seamus-culleton-ice-detention

@pcambra Remember how in 2010 the Eyjafjallajökull eruption disrupted DrupalCon, and folks all over the world set up in-person and virtual satellite events?

This grump remembers.
