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.

What happens if you don't have social media?
Or like you just change your public name when you travel?
Or like say you don't? I have this feeling these people don't actually give two shits to go find out if you lied about that or not
I imagine they'll just deny visas to all those cases. Unfortunately they're under no obligation to provide visas to people who don't use social media.
All of those questions AND also, five years -- what if I forget?
They can use it as an excuse to arrest people
Trumpists who've spent the last decade saying all kinds of insane bigoted shit online can now sell their Twitter accounts to prospective students for big money.
