🚨TOMORROW🚨 Friday, Feb 28, 2025 If you *must* shop for essentials, please use cash at local businesses. NO CORPORATIONS - ThreadSky

Let Congress know this is just the beginning https://resist.bot/petitions/PMMANK

This is a relatively easy, no risk way to send a message to those supporting the disruption of our democracy. Just don’t buy shit for one flippin’ day!

Sure, maybe, but this boycott still sends an important message to those intended. A tiny mustard seed, produces a giant plant. 👍🇺🇸✊️

Try buying less all month!

You're totally missing the point.

It isn’t pointless! You just missed the point. Consider the news: Consumer spending dropped significantly in January. People are now scared about their finances and will be reducing their spending until some stability returns. And hopefully will avoid today’s targeted stores when they do spend.

You know what doesn’t work? Not even trying.

I think it’s meant to illustrate the economic impact we can have if we choose to continue it.

reply

lisaloe.bsky.social•12 hours ago

The economic impact of an Amazon, Target, etc, losing an entire day of sales nationwide, even worldwide, is huge.
If you don’t understand that, you’re perfectly welcome to scroll on by rather than shitpost on other people’s accounts.

This movement is happening whether you participate or not.

Even if the lost sales are made up this weekend, the point isn’t that a single-day boycott will harm them. It’s to show them that we have power bc next time it’ll be for much longer than just a day.

I’m participating. Sadly though, I drove by my local Walmart and the parking lot was full. 😡

I'm participating. And I have gone to Walmart twice in the last few weeks (last night included). The parking lot was EMPTY and the store was as well - at 8pm at night. Usually fairly busy.

Do we know what the impact has been so far today?

Also, the more people do these, the easier they become. A day can turn into many days, or a week, or all the time until Trump & Musk are gone. This is the beginning. Good practices!

No choice to buy gas but supporting otherwise.

I'm participating, too. I just hope that the effects on day-to-day commercial revenues are significant enough to be noticed.

I am not buying anything today, but I think this needs to be a sustained effort!! We should have an economic blackout every Wednesday!! We need to create momentum so many others can join in. They can show up by not showing up! It can be a quiet act, but have a huge impact

Yes Yes I just postponed my buying of a new vehicle . I'm feeling my oats today. Let's make this work.

sorrynocomprende.bsky.social•1 day ago

EVERYBODY, please - we need to show our power. get cash and stay away from your phone/computer. walk down the block and buy your stuff from your neighbor stores. it’s not that hard and you will feel better. it’s just a better way to live.

Buy nothing all day to resist.
