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.

So those who voted democrat and children. The ones who voted republican or did not vote are reaping what they sowed.
And those that could not vote due to the gops fucking with polling stations and removing people from the voter registry
immigrants and ex-cons too
Yeah, eff their kids! 🤬
/s
They are definitely fucking the kids. It's the GOP.
All this and more in "The Epstein Files"!
I'm a Republican and I AGREE! FUCK the Kids! That's why I voted for Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND!
"Society is just nine missed meals away from anarchy"
I think that’s what they want
They could fix this at any time.
No really they control all levels of the Government.
Based if true, but I think what's going to actually happen is just violence.
10 million starving people have nothing to lose. No government can survive a true revolt.
The difference between a revolt and a riot is a plan of action. I don't see any organizations capable of managing genuine popular revolts.
Not on the left, at least.
Food stamps are crime prevention. Statistically this decision will lead to violence.
All of this because some billionaires want to fuck children and not pay taxes.
Ah yes. “Make America Great Again”.
“We’ll starve you out if you don’t let us strip away your health insurance coverage”
“Both sides are the same.”
Yeah one side passed the affordable care act, and the other side wants to cancel subsidies for it so they can give incredibly, unimaginably wealthy people even more money that they’ll never get to spend before the world burns. But sure, both sides are the same.
I’m doing ok, but I live in a community where a lot of people aren’t. I’m gonna go spend a boatload of money to feed my neighborhood, because fuck the right, they can’t win this fight. If they win, not only do 40 million people go without affordable health insurance, but all of the rest of us with health insurance will see those costs skyrocket literally overnight, as most people have to elect their health coverage at work between now and the end of November.
Check on your neighbors in need. Make sure they have food. If you can afford to, help them out.
Just an fyi but affordable care act is over 15 years old.
I’m basing this reply on the assumption that you do not know why the government shutdown is happening.
If the US Congress cannot pass a budget, the TLDR is basically that the government shuts down and many government workers end up working without getting paid, and many less fortunate and underprivileged citizens will lose access to the SNAP benefits and other various social safety nets that provides them with the basic necessities to survive.
One of the main reasons the budget bill is not passing is because the Trump administration and the Republicans want to strip the federal subsidies tied to the ACA (affordable care act). If the Democrats cave and help pass the bill, it will increase health insurance costs by an order of magnitude for most people in this country, and for about 40 million people, make health insurance completely unaffordable. So Trump directly said that those same 40 million people will face malnutrition or starve, because he wants to take those subsidies and put them in a tax cut for the ultra-wealthy. The same ultra-wealthy people that couldn’t spend the fortunes they currently possess over the next thousand years, even if they tried.
And they’re willing to let people starve and die, so that they can have more.
Edit to add: by “ultra-wealthy”, there are about 300-500 families in the entire country. So they would benefit, while 40 million people will starve.
Come on now. People will most likely not starve. Kids might be a lot less food secure.
People will most likely not starve and die. This statement makes the rest of what you’re saying seem ridiculous….
I do understand why the shutdown is happening.
But the ACA is also over 15 years old
Yummy!
The raiders continue sieging....
