Haha. This is all quite amusing entertainment. Wait, aren't these people trying to run the most powerful country in the world?

I've ditched Amazon, Microsoft, lots of Google services, coca-cola and practically all US owned grocery products. I bought a 'new' PC second hand because it is more than fast enough and I wanted to support AMD/Intel/Nvidia as little as possible. I own a switch and prefer games from non-US developers, buy used games on physical cartridges. I don't subscribe to streaming services and use physical media, preferably non-us. I regularly check ownership of brands (e.g. glasses & clothes) before I buy something blindly. So far I'm happy and don't miss a single thing.
The message is going out to scientists from all around the world. Have a look at some quotes in here https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eus-von-der-leyen-invites-scientists-researchers-make-europe-their-home-2025-04-29/ At least in Germany programs to help scientists that are fleeing from oppression are in place. But of course the recent US policies are in focus in the news.
... I don't think a democratic society can survive if this is the attitude of the law inforcement.
