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.

Thafuq you think the prison system is?
But these are bad people, they deserve it. Some people even smoked weed while being black.
Clearly, it's always been their fault doing anything at all while black. 🥲🤢
Not slavery? Don't be obtuse. That same commodification via containment is only a part of the greater system of human labor as livestock — which also includes slavery, TBF. Splitting those hairs is either naive or apologetic, and the stark reality of it all DGAF if you understand that. Hell, they're counting on it.
First off, I apologize for my brusk tone. I'm sorry you had to experience that first-hand, and we have that in common. It's not something I often talk about (I can count on one hand, in the last 20+ years since), but I want you to know that I hear you.
If anyone was obtuse, it was me for failing to clarify that the prison system==slavery I was referring to is the forced labor of our incarcerated that was literally written into the 13th Amendment and infallible proof that slavery as we're taught never ended.
You are not alone, and I mean that genuinely. (vs. a tropey excuse for compassion) ✊🏽

The private prison system is still bad and getting worse under Trump, but thats not what this is. This is sending people en masse to labor camps.
That's not slavery, that's genocide. Use the correct words, fellow citizens. Not that it'll matter. Your new tattoo is on its way, don't worry. We're all complicit in this, to different degrees, and no one gets out alive. 🥰
