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.

This whole article is from the onion, yes? Or maybe just totally misunderstood everything.
No, this is just present day USA when you actually analyze it.
Don't worry though, I'm sure the incinerator in the 100,000 person detention centre will only be used for medical waste like they say it will and they will happily bear the cost of deporting each and every person to country of origin.
Funny how they're not providing medical care, yet need to dispose of medical waste.
Being a German whose grandparents... Well you know....this all rings certain bells. But present day? In plain sight? I can't even... Just testing to see when those dirty evil immigrants and lqbtqs leave by their own will?
I'd be so gone if I was in this situation. Mexico, Canada and more. All near. None can be worse.
This still reads like a mildly funny onion.
I desperately want to leave the country, but Canada doesn’t make it easy (which is an understatement) and despite growing up and living in Texas I don’t speak any Spanish. Mexico seems alright, but given the climate situation I don’t really want to move further south.
Oh yeah right...the climate would kill me there. Europe is probably happily taking some sane muricans? Speaking English already at least doesn't leave you stranded anywhere. We mostly all speak or at least understand it.
If I could choose (and endure the horrible sounding languages) I'd pick Finland, denmark, Iceland (for the living - standards) or the Netherlands (if you like biking).

I already am here, so...I also wouldn't complain if it got colder here, I hate heat 😁
It's not an article, it's just someone's substack blog. Their only source about the incinerators in detention centers seems to be some Navy contract that they never actually quote from, probably because they later admit the document doesn't mention incinerators. So I don't think there's any actual evidence for this "crematorium network" yet. I don't doubt they want to do it, but let's get some receipts before screaming that it's actually happening.
I would really find that hard to believe, even for the current state the US is in. Whole story sounds fishy. But then again...I would've never thought such a silly clown could become a president of ANYTHING.
The documents on the government site. WEXMAC TITUS A0001 ELIN Spreadsheet SAM.xlsx has medical waste management as a line item under ELIN "AA1N".
It doesn't specifically say incinerators, and there are a few ways regulated medical waste is disposed of, but all methods of biohazardous medical waste treatment use heat. If it weren't intended for biohazardous waste, it would likely fall under one of the multiple other waste management line items.
I'm not sure if a network of camps with autoclaves or microwaves instead of crematoriums is any better.
