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.

Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect

Authorities are claiming they were unable to know who he was at the time, and treated him as a potential threat.

You are going to get to hear that kind of verbiage a lot over the next few years

They were only following orders
