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.

Funnily enough there's a lot of Irish heritage in Mexico. During the Mexican-American war the Irish who were on the American side thought "this is messed up" and swapped to Mexico's side.
This news story is horrible, but the headline is funny with this context.
Louis CK's dad or some shit is from Mexico. THAT dude is half Mexican.
