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.

In 2025, more than 2,000 trans women were incarcerated in federal jails in the US.[7] A 2007 study of Californian prisons found that 59% of trans inmates were sexually assaulted while incarcerated compared to 4% of all surveyed inmates; and 41-50% of the trans inmates surveyed reported rape, compared to 2-3% of the all inmates surveyed. Trans inmates described sexual assault as a "fact of prison life" while incarcerated.[8] Trans inmates also reported more assaults had taken place outside of their cells compared to the cisgender inmates. Furthermore, trans inmates were disproportionately denied medical attention following a sexual assault compared to other inmates.[8] A 2022 study in the same state found that 69% of trans women were forced into performing sexual oral practices against their will in all-male prisons—and that 58.5% of trans women reported being sexually assaulted.[6]
