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.

Some of this country is very white. Do you think the cops police them differently? That they treat poor white people with respect?
No, and they never have. They prey on the poor and most vulnerable. If there's a wealthy non-white community, they will always "get a pass".
A perfect example of this in action is the homeless. How do the cops treat the homeless? Are they kind and merciful to the white ones?
Are they racist? Many of them are, of course (and sexist, etc).
But they ALL prey on the impoverished by design.
Respect? No. But they certainly treat poor black people a hell of a lot worse than poor white people.
Oh, so you're not poor.
Nah, they slash up their slum town tent and beat them just like everybody else in the camp
