The only way to boycott SpaceX is by protesting the government stop using it, Tesla is easy to boycott just don’t buy them… star link is the tricky one, it means telling the leaders in your country to find an alternative… everything Elon is CEO of should go into the red
this is what husband and I are doing. Food, paper goods that we can't do without (we use rags instead of paper towels, but even I'm not dedicated enough to find another solution for toilet paper). We are thrifting anything else we want or need. Our bank account is very happy.
Spot on! I have been saying this over and over. Do a little homework and find out what companies support this idiot and stop buying from them. If enough people do this, it will get their attention more than anything else. 🥺👍
I'm boycotting Amazon, Walmart, Facebook, chick filet, target, lowes. Only Google has been hard to unwind from. But they aren't missed. They are conveniences, not necessities. Boycott them.
Yeah. I've blocked all microphone services on my phone. Something I did stopped all adds in browsers. I use Google drive and sign in, that I seem to be stuck with.
I want to see a day where all air travel is boycotted. Who wants to fly anyway with EM overseeing the FAA? Just one day would get a lot of attention. Pilots and ground crew striking. Could that work?
I agree, hurt them in their pockets and they will listen to change, money talk bullshit walks in the south and others towns knew that because it is effective one example when the blacks in the south brought their own buses and they ran it later they their own power of freedom again because it works
I am copying this “poster” and sharing widely…this is a powerful tool and we must make corporations pay attention, this is the only way…unfortunately I think many Americans are lazy, won’t want to be inconvenienced, but hopefully I am wrong!! My family will be participating…planning ahead for it!
Agree - but that doesn’t mean that protesting doesn’t have value.
On Tyranny - “Protests can be organized through social media, but nothing is real that does not end on the streets. If tyrants feel no consequences for their actions in the third-dimensional world, nothing will change.”
Most billionaires want money. The American billionaires want to make Americans serfs. Make the billionaires scared again. Hit them in the wallet. Musk should have his assets and money seized to pay for damages. I know that won't happen because Americans are just sitting and watching.
Actually both are very effective. Retired union member here. Strikes, picket lines and protests are all very effective at raising the morale and awareness of a particular issue and creating change.
Economic protest should go hand in hand with protest marches and strikes.
I've already closed all of my Facebook and Instagram accounts and in the process of divesting myself from Google entirely! They're not getting any more money from me!
I disagree, innocent people get hurt in a revolution just like they did when Trump supporters climbed all over the Capitol building. A boycott allows the masses to impact the people controlling the narrative of those trying to suppress us, and shows just how powerful unity in mass can be.
It's alot harder to kill people when they boycott as well. Protests is like putting a bow on your head, putting every dissenter in a basket and handing it over to the cogs of the machine to grind into mincemeat...
We need, Demonstrations, we need Boycotts, and we need Strikes, as well as other peaceful concerted actions in our tool boxes. They are the cornerstones of the peoples democracy, without them we are voiceless.
Protests DO absolutely nothing.
Whereas LOCAL RESISTANCE (TUNNELING) TOPPLES the SAUSAGE MOUNTAIN.
UNRELENTING SM CAMPAIGNS are delish disinformation tools...
STOP PLAYING NICE.
Did you know eelania is part Chinese? Hence, the failed eye surgery.
Couldn’t agree more. Let’s all go on a buying fast and only spend half of what you normally would of your weekly budget. Let’s see how those rich fat cats like what that does to the economy.
And you can do it in the safety of your home - no work, no travel , no buying. trump will use the military against protesters in the streets - we all know it.
I agree with you on this but honestly at this point they don’t care and it will take a lot more than this to stop them probably actually taking them out of power maybe even physically.
I have a saying: Some people only understand when you hit their pockets or their stomachs! @kamalahqrepeater.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @velazquez.house.gov @occupydemocrats.bsky.social @lincolnproject.us
Yes exactly. They each do something different. Boycotss hurt them. Protests bring others into our cause and grow our numbers. ..and the visual is pretty threatening to them as well.
We need both. We need to hit them with everything we've got!
I closed my Facebook account, no longer shop Amazon, or Walmart or any other company that has abandoned DEI hiring practices or has "kissed the ring". I'm one person, but I know I'm not the only one.

What you’re planning is key.
We have to let them know that we aren’t looking for common ground with trump supporting businesses.
We just ain’t going back until stinky’s dead or in prison… IF EVER!
Regardless of what they do to reverse their DEI cowardice or non-endorsements, we’re just done!!
And we can start by not donating a dime to the failed Democratic Party until they 1. Listen without asking for money and 2. They start acting like true opposition and less than fossils afraid to challenge this fascist asshole in the White House.
Protests matter, but they have to get to 3.5% of the population, historically, to impact regime change. That’s 11 Million and change for us. We can do that! 75 million voted for Harris.
He is going to shoot protesters and the Supreme Court gave him immunity to do it. The unsupreme justices and at least one of their wives can’t wait to kill who they despise - marginalized Americans and boomers who know their rights and love the constitution.
That could happen. And they hope to generate enough fear about exactly that to keep us quiet and compliant. Most won’t march, and that’s ok. They may choose to resist in other ways, make phone, boycotting, etc. They are all tools in our arsenal to resist.
Unfortunately, there are still those who are purposefully ignorant of what's going on. If they aren't on BlueSky or actively reading independent news, they aren't receiving accurate/thorough information.
Yes!! More of this!!
Look up what companies these rich a holes own and don't to business with any of them. Also look up companies & products. Know who you support and who they are supporting with YOUR money!
MLK Jr. knew the power of a boycott when the Birmingham bis boycott resulted in allowing Rosa Parks and all of us regardless of color to sit in the front of the bus!
These need to be happening much closer together, and focus on 2 or 3 companies. Rotate boycott daily among 3 companies for a month. 1 day is a blip-a snow day if you will-barely noticeable.
Remember, only 1/2 of America will participate, so to be felt--it must be prolonged.
I Hope If as many as possible will do the same, the Corporations will feel the Hit. Personally I found it’s not that tough to cancel the „big ones“ After all. Worst was Instagram as it was a Great Platform to be Seen as an Artist.
I’ve been so close to quitting Facebook then someone posted about not disappearing and still being seen. I feel more safer here. I’m noticing some MaGA family members out of arguments about Trump. Doubt this is good!
Let’s boycott all of trump’s oligarchs, Musk (Tesla), Amazon, Facebook, and all of the rest of donors and see if that changes some of the way they get things done!
Weird dichotomy. Protests are for raising awareness, organizing resistance, and galvanizing people to your cause (like a boycott). You can protest in the streets and not shop at Target at the same time. YOU SHOULD DO BOTH!
Feb. 28 National boycott of ALL BUSINESSES needs to happen, especially if a company like Tesla PAID ZERO FEDERAL TAXES IN 2022 AND 2024 after getting billions in profits!! Wake up America!!
Do both. Both serve an important purpose. The Civil rights movement was successful because of footage from peaceful protests that swayed public opinion and because of the economic impact. A movement for freedom requires both.
Yep, being proactive is always more impactful than being reactive. Look how much of an impact people are having on big business, and we didn’t even crawl all over the Capitol building like a bunch of buffoons, and we haven’t hurt a single innocent person. That says a lot about the power of unity.
If you have a 401(k) pension plan, let me tell u that most of the funds are invested in companies like Tesla, Amazon, etc., please review your investments and consider reallocating them to 'cash' / 'gold'. It looks like they are deceiving us from behind
I've been saying this since the beginning man. You got a boycott thing, sports clothing. Everything man take it from somebody who's been doing it for a while. It actually makes life a lot easier. Things get a lot cheaper and you get more of what you want
True, but both serve a purpose- One inspires hope for many others are fearful at a moment in history- That’s how the people of Ukraine ran out Putin’s previous puppet to his invasion-That’s why Putin&47 talking points are about elections in Ukraine so they can put another puppet in place of Zelensky
Town halls are a good way to have our elected officials to hear our disgust with the state of our union, and all the safety nets being taken away!! Going to republican town halls too!!
this is an old W-4. Please don't follow this. You'll want to mark your status, then down UNDER 4C, write EXEMPT. Sorry, I do payroll for a living, so I have to be very familiar with these forms. But, beware, this will come back to bite you when it's time to file taxes.
Maybe, Maybe not, I would argue before a judge that if they have removed the services my taxes pay for then they need a forensic accounting and to lower my taxes accordingly as specific taxes were appropriated for specific service. You do not provide that service that tax is taken for that is...
It was shocking that the nationwide protest on the 17th appears to have done NOTHING! We are still glad we protested....it was sacred to stand up for democracy!
It's not as if people will have much purchase power soon anyway. Unemployment is a juggernaut. Still, have shopped only locally since Jan 20.
Protests can get the word out though, and people who are not paying attention see it.
You need both. The boycott to hit them in the pocket, and a protest to let them know why sales are down. Otherwise, they'll blame Biden, democrats, even Hillary and Obama.
No more walmart, target, burger king or McDonald's. Trying to cook more at home or just supporting local businesses when we can! If we gotta shop big retailers it's the small businesses we're trying to support... not trying to put more money in CEO's pockets if i can help it.
This becomes impossible for rural communities when the only grocery stores are target and/or Walmart. And if you have kids, a McDonalds or Burger King with a playplace is hard to avoid in the cold months. 😞 I’d love alternative options, but it’s not feasible for everyone.
I absolutely understand. It's also important when there's no other option to shop for the small businesses NEED to be the only option- if not off brand stuff. Also looking into local farms!
That’s the best you can do 😶
Show them THIS tweet from the White House!
Im emphasizing to those who complain, bitch etc about this, that this action is the SOLE power left to us right now. Otherwise we can give up on elections in the future and
It will take violence if we wait
The reason this doesn't work is because you are actually placing yourself under seige. Many families are spending all their money just to go one day to the next. Boycotting a company they work for destroys our own working class first. These are the labor hours to be cut.
I don’t watch any corporate media—haven’t since 2016. I dumped twitter when the twat bought it, and I refuse to buy a Tesla or patronize any stores who dumped DEI. The list gets longer every day, but never let up!
I'm queer and disabled. And I refuse to bow to anyone. And the way I grew up, that was what I was taught about being an American. We don't bow to anyone.
Seems Trump and company never took that class. They forget that they are our servants. Not the other way around.
I think there are more of us. They will find their voice. People of every race, straight or gay, whatever gender, have something to lose in this administration. They better hurry tho. We are losing something every day.

Boycott ALL Musk businesses.
Boycott any business that trashed DEI (Target, Wal-mart, Etc.).

THAT AFFECTS THESE BASTARDS !
Remember, only 1/2 of America will participate, so to be felt--it must be prolonged.
Do not spend any money -- no fast food, no gas, nothing.
Easy to do and involves people who cannot always come out or travel to where protests are being held.
They need us we don't need them.👇

Look at these sites/apps and see who you're supporting. See who’s against campaign finance reform.

Boycott AND take to the streets.
And donating to Ukraine relief is a great protest too. Kills two birds one stone. united 24.gov.ua
Protests can get the word out though, and people who are not paying attention see it.
BUT, let's get everybody on board for this one !
