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.

It’s called The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. I enjoyed it; I listened to it and the narrator was good, and I didn’t want to stop listening, which is a good sign. I haven’t read anything else by Quinn but I guess she does mostly historical fiction, and based on Goodreads reviews, her fanbase did not appreciate this one because she had GASP a former foster kid as a main character, a bisexual character, a trans kid, and she makes one throwaway comment about “religious types” that sent her fans into rants about her being anti-Christian. Holy hell. Anyway I thought it was fine! Maybe some of the messaging was a little heavy handed, but it clearly came from a place of deep love of libraries so I can’t say I fault her for it too much.
Interesting, thanks I’ll check it out! That’s a different narrative to follow.
