To friends of democracy around the world: we need your help.
You know that the Trump regime is brutally attacking US democracy. Most of us did not vote for Donald Trump (half of us didn’t even vote in the 2024 election). But he feels he has a mandate to take a wrecking ball to the constitution.
Like most bullies, the regime can be constrained only if everyone stands up to the bullying – including you.
First, if you are considering a trip to the United States, please reconsider. Why reward Trump’s America with your tourist dollars?
Spending by non-Americans in the United States is a significant source of tax revenue and a major “export” of this nation. There’s no reason for you to indirectly support Trump’s economy.
Many international travelers concerned about Trump’s authoritarianism have already canceled trips to the United States. You might do so, too.
Last week, the US president threatened a 200% tariff on European wine and alcohol after calling the European Union “one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World”.
Why reward this bellicose rhetoric? Many Europeans are already skipping trips to Disney World and music festivals.

If there’s any way for this American to support the European and Canadian market, let me know. I’m already following the “buy Europe” group. I’m just unsure where to start.
Please boycott the USA. We as a nation have been trained from a young age not to push back against authority figures or think for ourselves, we’ve been squeezed until we’re all on the verge of homelessness, our nation is too big for the majority of us to afford to travel to the capital on our days off to protest, and we can’t risk our jobs without losing access to healthcare. We’re doing our best where we can, but those are a lot of hurdles to jump. It’s no excuse, just….things are moving too quickly to have the time get in shape.
Same, I’m surprised nobody’s put together an infographic on “EU stuff Americans can buy”
I do know that Aldi’s if there’s one near you is a good one to shop at, afaik all their US locations are owned by the original German parent company
Trader Joe’s is also owned by Aldi - slightly different Aldi (long story) but German Aldi nonetheless. And I think German supermarket chain Lidl is also present in parts of the US.
Aldi nord or sud ?
The Aldi operating in the states under its own name is Süd and the one that owns Trade Joe’s is the northern one
non the less.
nonetheless

I do love Aldi! It feels like a good corporation, as far as corporations go. They are still extremely affordable, the food is usually held to European standards (unless they’re selling an American brand under that brand name), and their imports are amazing.
I’d love an infographic like that! I’d make it myself if I knew what to put on it, haha!
I’ve heard whispers that Aldi did this in name only, that workers still feel supported, and that internal DEI documents are still available.
Of course, this can’t be confirmed by evidence.
Nah they’re not really a good corporation they use their giant bargaining power to lowball small suppliers as much as they possibly can, like so much that they might not be earning any money at all for their work.

She talks here quite well of what can be done if you cannot protest. You can give support to the ones that do. But the protest has to be sustained. So help the ones that are willing to protest so that they can sustain it.

We are willing to die for your sins.
Just curious did you join the military for money?
Start with e-mail and it gets easier from there. All those nice European services you start using now happen without US corpos knowing what’s going on. Information is how they dominate and they’ll suffocate without user profiling.
- Its government is fascist
There are plenty of other reasons, but that one seems good enough on its own.
