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.

Never trust countries with the following:

3. Airports named after people.

2. Streets named after dates.

1. Background music on news reports.

If you do somehow find yourself in a country with one or more those things, back away slowly and quietly until you are over the border.

There's a lot of countries with airports named after people. Weird thing to be triggered over.

I disagree - klu9 really has a point here. We are naming things after people to honor them. And if you find a country where big infrastructure projects are named after politicians, you should be sceptical. Why this politician? Who decided to honor him in this way?

Yeah, who names an airport terminal after someone as awful as...."Harvey Milk?"

I kind of get the others, but not 2. I feel like that includes most countries (there's this Wikipedia page which I know is incomplete. What's wrong with remembering things like the end of the war that wrecked the city?
