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.

Imagine if ICE ordered your plane to land and they arrest all the passengers and flight attendants to bring into their torture facilities.

And I ask the same about ordering planes down. They can if they want to. Laws are now what the gop says they are. So why can't they take down a plane ? Because of a law ?

Because laws governing the United States actions within the States are very different than international law.

There are actually mechanisms, enforcement, oversight and so on. ICE taking control of the FAA would at least be a lengthy court battle first. It's why Trump hasn't been able to fire Lisa Cook, why Kilmar was brought back etc.

There is no similar restraint on American military actions outside of America.

Enjoy your flight I guess, you have more faith in nazis than I do.

No, just a reasonable assumption of risk and reality.

If we're going by nonsense at the outer bounds, trump could just nuke whateber country tomorrow. Oh, you're still going about your life? Guess you have faith in nazis.
