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.

..."They told the doctors to cut out all of my [subdermal] piercings. ... “I told the nurses specifically: ‘I do not consent to this.’ But they put lidocaine [for numbing] on my face and on the back of my neck. The thing is it is only supposed to work for 40 minutes; I was lying there for well over an hour and they just started doing it. I was shackled to the bed. I couldn’t move. “The guards who brought me there were laughing at me. They were just like: ‘Oh, that’s gnarly.’ I kept saying: ‘I can feel this. It hurts.’”

Holy fucking shit.

This man describes a completely arbitrary arrest process followed by being packed into a 10 man cell with 100 people in it and one toilet, consistently being denied food and hygiene, being punished for speaking to a lawyer and watching someone who'd been begging staff for their heart medication die of a heart attack right in front of him.

It's important for Americans to hear this man's story in his own words: https://archive.is/XpPIO
