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.

One of the guys shot one of the ICE agents and they gave him 100 years.
Ultimately I agree with you, but still.
The rest who didn't shoot an ICE agent got 50 years minimum by that headline. Perverse incentives are now in force: it's better to shoot them all in the hopes of there being no witnesses left behind than it is to be peaceful. Not a whole lot of difference between being stuck in the slammer for half a century vs. a whole century.
Is there a difference? The shooter wasn't zero years old.
Don't get caught, don't act recklessly if your going to try pulling stuff like that.
