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.

Since the 2001 Patriot Act, the USA trashed their last gram of freedom.
Newsom has been aggressively rounding up homeless people for months, and threatening cities who protect them.
Do not go thinking he is one of the good guys.
There's a difference between thinking he's "one of the good guys" and getting glad he's one of the few people in power standing up to trump, or at least threatening to.
People like him certainly should be held accountable for their bullshit. But bringing it up everytime someone is greatful he's standing up to fascists only helps the fascists.
He’s not “standing up to Trump” for the people, but to assert his exclusive control of the territory. Which is why he is not speaking against militarized assaults on protests, which Newsom also enjoys, but rather against Trump encroaching on the governor’s fiefdom.
In a fight between fascists, you are not required to take either side. Stop reflexively licking the boot.
Also even with his messages regarding the LA protests he barely mentioned immigrants, more that he was losing control of his state
Then they came for my weed
Not much, because the first Nazi in uniform that shows up to my door is getting .300 BLK through his face. All Cops Are Nazis, and there's only one good kind of Nazi.
A dead Nazi?
Was asking a question all he did? Ok
Im really excited for the next election when the Dems force us to vote between Newsom and whatever mentally unstable nazi the republicans find, and we lose every branch again...
That's a far too progressive stance for the Democrats. Maybe we should try Hillary again?
She's got a shot... this time! If all else fails, how about some 90 year old senile guy, elderly leadership is trending among the younger demographics!
Whatever the Dems do, they need to do it in the most non-confrontational way possible, maybe a semi-strongly worded letter? Nothing too harsh, they just need to let everyone know they are not super chill with the current vibe. Hopefully they take it easy though, they definitely don't want the Republicans to think they are impolite or rude
For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:
So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
You already know the answer to this and have chosen to ignore it.
Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect
No normally. I think they throw a knee on the neck for 9 to 10 minutes.
They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.
california needs to fucking secede and newsom needs to sack up and put the money where his mouth is.
You threaten to withhold federal taxes. Shit continues, You fucking do it. Once they know your threats are empty, the game is fucking over.
Republic of California
New California Republic (or NCR for short)
