It’s time to make foreign visits drop by at least 60%.

As an American, nobody should be coming here. Under any circumstances. Especially if you're the "wrong" color.

I’m a white American emigrant and I’m not even going back for the foreseeable future because I don’t feel like a disembarking an international flight is safe for anyone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump regime decides to arbitrarily force a plane that’s passing through US airspace to land so they can lock up the passengers.

Edit: I read your comment way wrong, lol.

I can’t imagine that wouldn’t get a war started if they did openly, but I don’t know if it would be possible to cover it up by pretending the plane crashed instead. Or maybe nothing would come of it after all.

We should aim higher.

Hmm, let’s try for 110% then if we are very very lucky we get to 100%

It is literally life threatening dangerous in the states now. Citizen or otherwise.

Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
