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.

WTF is with all those "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" blurbs at the bottom of each of his messages? Does he think it makes him sound all statesmanlike or something?
Donnie. Baby. (And I mean that literally as you being the world's oldest toddler.) That shit makes you sound like an HOA Karen, not like a statesman.
So tons of Trump mystery meat appears and they refuse to say where it's from.
Meanwhile, this is happening.
Is the media scared of being sued for making this connection? Nobody seems to be relating the two, but it seems so obvious.
Mystery Whitehouse meat that skips inspections 🇺🇸
The only thing MAGAts seem to be interested inspecting are people's genitals.
"beef"
All the ivermectin the MAGA crew was taking may have prepared them for the mystery meat coming soon to a grocery store near you.
Hot take: in areas we haven't reintroduced wolves or other predators, feral horse populations should be controlled so they don't compete with native buffalo.
Edit: even hotter take: mountain lion hunting should be banned so they can help take care of deer and horses.
Wild horse populations on federal land are usually actively managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
I assume this is different and worse, both because the BLM was gutted and because with this administration things invariably are, but I don't know enough of the details to say further.
feral horses
Sounds like they have some madcow adjacent disease, and that's going to be in the new Whitehouse mystery meat 💀
it will be feral pig meat. RFK does want all those brainworms, and taniea solium eggs do lodge in the BRAIN.
It's okay, prion disease totally isn't passed on by consumption.
Also, it's completely possible to cook out the bad prions.
Trust me, I'm RFK.
Oh god, I thought parasites and bacteria were all we had to worry about, but now we're gonna be hearing about prion outbreaks?
I hope they at least label it with "TRUMP MEAT" in giant gold letters...
probably parasites from pork too. you probably die from bacterial, viral or parasites before a prion disease, because they take so long to manifest.
Yes Congrats, all the horses in America are descendents of domestic horses. We call those who haven't been domestic in more than two generations 'wild', though. Ya know, to differentiate them from actually feral horses. 'Wild' horses in the US are actually semi-feral though.
wild horses are only used in context of species level. since there are no true wild horses in the wild.(prewazalki is actually descended from an ancient lingeage of demestic horse.) Horses, camels did evolve in North america though.
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.
That's the way it's gonna be, lil' darling
We'll be munching on the horses, yeah yeah
