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.

I've seen "Gender and Sexual Minorities" i.e. GSM
Though tbh queer is evergreen
See that sounds way better than "LGBTQ+". But the downvotes I'm receiving tell me why it's so hard to change or improve things or progress.
I've seen people who hate the term queer and refuse to identify with it though
Yeah, you're right, there are contexts that change the meaning of the word. There's a difference between calling myself queer and someone calling me "a fucking q*eer", y'know?
Maybe not evergreen then.
