Stop organizing these to be single-day events. Make them hurt. Make them bleed. Make it permanent. Nothing is done if you have a temporary one day pause.
It's just so cute seeing actual MAGA talking points be embraced so warmly by the left. I bet you're so ignorant that you don't realize that the kind of thing you're suggesting is very commonly suggested by MAGA populists. Stop with the fake division! You agree with Trump on something! #unity
How about adding an action ON Feb 28th… canceling ALL remaining subscriptions to corporations supporting the demise of democracy… such as Amazon Prime, MSM subscriptions, etc?
Yes! Ive already done this as well. I think this is about grabbing more attention and creating better organization. Can't wait to see what we the people do 💙
Only buying essentials. Stocked up as soon as he "won". Stopped eating out, buy food & gas. Canceled the predatory billionaires, FB, Amazon, Walmart, etc. by Jan 20, 2025.
And on that day people should show some physical sign of solidarity by changing profile pics to black and/or do something like hang a black paper in a window or spend the lunch hour or cocktail hour standing with others in a public square, then go have a drink together and talk about organizing.
I stopped shopping there on Inauguration Day. Not starting back any time soon. My goal is to get to a place I never need this megacorporation superconsumerism shitholes again.

DON'T WAIT: AVOID BUYING NEW THINGS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
* Can you fix it instead?
* Can you find it at a thrift store?
* Is there a DIY option that cuts out Walmart, Ebay or Amazon?
Quarterly earnings will drop and we'll quickly see that billionaires have bosses too: shareholders.
Haven’t bought from Amazon since 12/15 and decided to completely blackout February from purchasing anything but food and toiletries. It’s amazing how much you really don’t need.
prep early. get to know your local grocer's. get to know your hole-in-the-wall takeaways. You never know, it might become a permanent thing if you really like them a lot more.
I am already striking. Just do it! Stay home, don't buy anything unnecessary, when you do buy, avoid MAGA owned businesses and red state products. Also, get out of the stock market. You can roll your 401k over into CD's, annuities, and money market w/o penalty. I have! Don't feed the fascists!

Someone else today told me how wonderful their hot dogs are, the ones that they sell at the front that are cooked and ready to eat. I have to do that next time I'm back.
My daughter & I unsubscribed from Amazon right after the election & we haven’t regretted it so I’m all in on this. I only buy gas when the price is down at my grocery store chain bc it’s owned by a longtime Republican family. I like they’re paying their employees a living wage.
I agree that we should be doing this sort of boycott everyday. I avoid Amazon altogether now, there are many alternatives. Any big company that doesn't come out openly on the side of law and order, should be considered an enemy of law and order.
Trump didn't need a lot of Jan6th to almost take power so we don't need a lot. We just need enough people to be noticed on TV. Don't get concern with the rest of the people. They are just mindless drones they just to whatever it takes to keep on doing whatever they do. Breath air, eat and shit.
Things are going to get really rough, so make a plan and expect hardship. Not facing reality will only make it worse. Whatever you do, dint feed the fascists!
We need a general strike. I am already striking.Just do it! I have stocked up and plan to stay home, not go anywhere, unless absolutely necessary. Then, when I actually have to buy things, I will shop locally and avoid MAGA owned stores. Get out of the stock market! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-you-should-open-a-long-term-cd-this-february/
Start now, make it every day until Trump's gone. Definitely buy *nothing* on 2/28, but also cut down to only necessities. Consumer spending was over 68% of the US GDP last year, and the average family spends 25% of their budget on non-essentials. That's a *huge* slice of the financial pie...bin it.
This will be easy! Elmo just gutted my agency and I'm going to be unemployed - as well 98% of USAIDs direct hire staff and an additional 54K in contractors - all Americans who no longer have jobs.
that one is tricky.

I already do that. Been doing it since before the inauguration. Only supporting small businesses, or certain places that have stood by DEI. Everything and everyone else? 🖕🖕🖕
Can I go to my local burger joint? There are only 2 and they are both in my town of 8,000. I don’t want them going out of business. It’s slow enough as it is!
Done.
And if you're going to do Valentine's Day folks, try to only buy flowers and gifts or get dinner at small locally owned places.
It doesn't matter if it costs a little more, just get a little less. It's all good. 🩵
Has to be broader then shopping. The country has to be totally shutdown with a #GeneralStrike Nationwide.#GeneralStrike means everyone stays home through out the country for three days, except for essential workers like hospital workers.People must be brave & strong to save this country.

France has done a lot of general strikes. France is a much smaller country with a long history of revolution. How successful have their general strikes been?
Look I understand your frustration/anger, but consider this; Trumps ascension to dictator will only be hastened by any widespread civil disorder. He along with MAGA-MEDIA already are planning on some kind of fake national emergency to declare martial law. Don't just hand him any justifiable excuse.

I've already been boycotting several brands since early 2000s, added more in 2016, but now my boycott list is huge.
I will tell everyone I know to boycott every business that obeys the felon.

It's mostly about depriving them of money and influence.
