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 get rid of citizen's united and 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.

Left Reddit, Facebook and Xitter (the last two long ago), quit Disney+ and Netflix. Switched my email from gmail to proton. My work still uses Microsoft, I can’t change that. I’m not buying any US food or alcohol or physical US products.
Things to work on: the tax filing company I use is American, I need to change that. That’s a longer term project.
These days when I'm shopping for anything: if it's not a Canadian product, then it's Mexico, Peru, etc. I've cancelled Netflix and Amazon. It's just Crave and CBC gem atm.
I'm boosting CBC content over Murdoch slop and scrape-paste journalism wherever I can.
Some intentional behavioural changes too. Because I think boycotting America is also about deprogramming myself a bit.
Lifelong athiest, but I've started keeping a Sabbath. From sundown to sundown once a week, everything (except the fridge, stove, freezer and my alarm clock from the 1980s) gets turned off and unplugged. Including power cords. [Highly recommend - there's less static in the house and the cats are pleased.]
In my own neighbourhood, I see some white supremacists and fundies getting louder and prouder since Trump's second kick at the can. So, I make sure when I'm in public (I try) to stay calm and ready to step in. And I stay friendly. Nobody needs to be dealing with more bad vibes from random people in public.
[edit bc I wrote my diary on the internet for no good reason and need to take my own username advice for a bit]
Not travelling to the USA this year anymore, cancelled disney+ and prime. I'm now actively looking for what is Canadian made and I'm buying what doesn't exist as Canadian made from Canadian retailers instead of US owned megacorps.
