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.

The rest who didn't shoot an ICE agent got 50 years minimum by that headline. Perverse incentives are now in force: it's better to shoot them all in the hopes of there being no witnesses left behind than it is to be peaceful. Not a whole lot of difference between being stuck in the slammer for half a century vs. a whole century.
It is beyond meaningful lifespan anyway. Even if you were a young 20 year old, if you are locked up for 50 years you would be 70 when considering release. They won't release you even then because it is unlikely that you will have anyone to pick you up or help you get on your feet, and after 50 years of being in prison most people cannot function.
Imagine if someone locked up in 1976 was released in 2026. You think they will know how to even look for a job or a place to live? No amount of prerelease education will prepare them for that.
This is civil war material if ever I saw any.
ACW v2.0 has been brewing since at least the '90s. Probably much earlier, but the '90s was when I went Down South for a job interview and got the USA's vibes and newped the fuck out.
