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.

No way this administration will EVER withdraw ICE from an area of active occupation. Nat’l guard is literally the last resort here before the cartridge box; and the dem governors won’t actually pull the ‘trigger’ on it because they’re not ACTUALLY opposed to fascism, just paid to pretend they are
(My admittedly very cynical take)
National Guard is not the last resort. As it can be federalized, it's not even the best option here.
Several states have State Guards that answer only to the governor. The State Guard is usually little more than a legal framework rather than an operational militia, but that framework could be filled in pretty damn quick: Disband the National Guard units and offer the guardsmen transfers to the State Guard.
They already have from multiple cities. They've been focusing on one city at at time, trying to drive up the pressure and chaos by focusing their presence in one area.
Watch Walz's press conference on the 24th.
He is having a genuine human reaction to this. He looks and talked like he understands the stakes.
Unlike Schumer or Jeffries or Harris or the Obamas.
