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 horses should be in sanctuaries.
Why do you say they should they be in sanctuaries rather than the wild?
If they're an invasive species it could be a threat to the ecosystem.
Wait, I thought wild horses were native to the Americas?? Are they invasive? Thats wild
I think a lot of the current day wild horses come from Europe.
Oh interesting. But horses themselves are native right? are there different species of horses that occupy different ecological niches that might cause ecological problems by them being here? (No worries if you dont know I'm just curious)
Thanks for the explanation!
As I understand, there are no native US horses. The native American cultures that had horses integrated them into their culture after the arrival of Europeans.
I actually just learned that the Assateague horses didn't come from surviving a ship wreck but from people in the 17th century avoiding HOA rules.

So are Taco Bell franchises.
Wait until you see what humans - a rapidly -spreading invasive species from africa mixed with a group from france - are doing to the ecosystem !
Sanctuary? Sign me up!
Maybe it'd help to release some polar bears into the suburban ecosystem to help curb the population.
