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.

Got it, no reason to not be violent now.

Since your life is forfeit either way.

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.

I hope we do not get pulled into any war, let it be the second US civil war or Trump’s extra middle east war. If either of those wars get worse I see a whole lot of trouble.

Bro asking Donald to not start wars is like trying to pry cookie monster from his namesake.

Lol. Just learned Cookie Monster’s real name is Sid.

“Most often, judges will sentence defendants for separate counts concurrently. Here, it appears that the judge stacked the sentences for each count consecutively. I would have expected lengthy sentences here, more in the ballpark at 15 to 25 years, but nothing like 50 to 100 years,” she wrote in an email.

15 to 25 years for this is absurd as well, while I do not agree with shooting anyone history has shown that “law” enforcement down there can be rather trigger happy and these people where in danger.

A few of the protesters spontaneously broke off from the main group and vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera. When a police officer arrived on the scene and drew his weapon, one of the activists fired an AR-15 from the woods, hitting the officer in the shoulder.
