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.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers gloves that deliver painful electric shocks is facing criticism from Democratic elected officials and civil rights advocates, who call it unnecessary and cruel.

I have the hope they will zap their own balls off by accident.

Fucking 5 minutes of them having it and they will shock themselves. Someone's gonna forget and handtaze their balls.

Fuck fear of them using it. These troglodytes will be like kids in a candy store happily zapping people left right and centre on day one. Still deciding if pun intended.

Not to mention, after they shock themselves, they try and charge anyone nearby, that hasn't already been thrown on a death camp, with assault and battery of a federal agent

That’s because it’s batshit crazy

Fears of misuse? By giving gloves that electrocute people to the folks who gun down random people in the street? You don't say.

i would imagine they are more likely to shock themselves, because they hired people that are so dimwitted.
