Australian here - stopped buying American. Lots feel the same especially after the treatment our Commonwealth relatives are getting. Plenty of other countries don't try and fuck us all or make us beg. Here's hoping the Commonwealth becomes an economic block.
Canadian here. We blame Orange Guy. If Americans become complicit then it will no longer be just the Orange Guy. Not a threat…just reality. I’m sure you can empathize.
Every little bit helps. And returns cost them more than you think since policies usually prevent then from reselling the items causing them to take a loss on the product
I saw on another platform that MAGA’s are planning to spend like crazy tomorrow. Seriously, can any of them read? They think this is just about the “Dems” being upset over DEI😂
Nice! 👊🏼 I've been avoiding Amazon for years trying to support the good ole brick and mortar. Since Bezos is now bowing at the feet of the old Cheeto it's time to cancel prime and make it official.
Americans have absolutely no experience with a general strike. We're easing into it. It's not just this one time. I foresee us having to do this for a much longer period of time in the near future unfortunately. But we need to practice first.
Indivisible and the other big organizing groups are coordinating. I assume it will become clearer what the next steps are. The march on President's Day was a lot bigger than I anticipated.
Hard "no" to that. 100% sure? How does one get such certainty?
Also, I don't feel the urge to destroy those who disagree with me, even when I feel that they're being foolish. That strikes me as being uncivilized and counterproductive, because it will encourage a defiant response.
Mr. Trump has built his career around an encouragement of a rejection of reason. If we try, in any sense, to bully others into rejecting him, then we'll be making the difference between us and him a lot harder for others to see.
Yeah sure, I'll just use the Internet somehow without at&t, Verizon or Comcast, my only options, and somehow without using Amazon web services. That definitely seems feasible
Pretty much all corporations and executives support trump as his policies are the most beneficial for them. So doing shit like the doesn't make any sense and isn't realistic
Also....just saying....truly in with the protests, the blackouts, the hashtags, memes, marches...all that. Down for it all. But also, what if...*HOT TAKE WARING* - When the occasion arises, we go All-Hands-On-Deck and VOTE?
There's also local elections every Tuesday in many places across America. There's some coming up actually, on March 4th - same day as the big March 4th protest. So you can March Forth (to the Polls).
I genuinely believe that we're going to be seeing record-breaking voter turnouts for future elections in the next few years. People are both frightened and really pissed off.
That's if we have that ability or right in the future. With this cheese calling himself king and saying he is law, we might not have a democracy to choose.
I'm all in! My 83 year old aunt and her teenage daughter work at Target because of necessity but I say screw them! You should have had your husband set you up better before he was a wuss and let cancer take him! Unity!!!!!
Aside from mass firings of relevant positions like national weather service or those people that keep an eye on our nuclear arsenal? He called zelenskyy a dictator and claimed he started the war with Russia. He tariffing every ally US ever had. tariffs are a tax on Americans not the countries btw...
There’s a local Mom & Pop diner that I plan on ordering dinner from tomorrow night. They keep their political views quiet but they feed those less fortunate by donating to soup kitchens.
Please make this a whole month! I really can't stand seeing a multicolored haired, overweight, white chick with a mask on while I'm shopping. Stay strong!
I am told that if you put items in your Amazon cart their system assumes you are going to buy them and starts moving them towards your destination BEFORE you buy. If true it would almost want you to add bunch of common items to your cart on the 28th and let it sit there all day.
this reply is only bringing more good to the world, its covering for a problem with the original post and not even saying anything about that post itself. you insecure about an account you follow doing something a little unsavory, or something?
Because business NEEDS our consumerism to survive and the wealthy are getting WAY out of line. This is a small flex of the people saying we CAN harm you financially if we want to.
I’m participating but I’m going to my local hairdresser (she’s a small business) with my credit card. Your pay with cash ask is a bit of a stretch IMO. You haven’t seen her bill!
- ECONOMIC BLACKOUT 2/28!
- Protest with your wallet!
- Buy from small, local businesses in general
- Dont spend $/time on Bezos: Amazon, Whole Foods, WaPo. Musk: Tesla, X, Starlink. Zuck: Meta - FB, IG, Threads. (Bluesky has a new IG-ish photo app named “Flashes” btw)
I am, only because I like to share the sharp and intelligent posts from BlueSky on there. Only reason, it's pretty stupid otherwise.
Loved this - https://youtu.be/r-5QoRpaRjY?si=VnXhG_D_BpOS8Uou
Yeah I have facebook because you have to for a Meta VR account unfortunately - working on an alternative - maybe playstation or steam? And then I have to get my daughter on board.
Funny how some of the things worm their way into your life and take hold.
OK thanks - I will check into that! I'm even willing to set up a new VR only account but they give you the impression you need FB or IG to get started.
I have to use it for some clients but other than that it’s dead to me & I try to avoid doing the FB/IG crap. LinkedIn should bite the bullet & get VR 😂😂
My folks still use it. They may be boomers, but they’re the good kind that hate the orange turd. Unfortunately, they’re pretty illiterate in electronics and I’m not there to help them.
I deleted IG & Threads but sadly, I have to use FB daily for work as I manage business and client pages. I stripped my profile and stopped engaging personally. I will tell you however from what i'm seeing, that engagement is WAAY up since they joined the cult. And NONE of my Dem friends left. Shame😡
They have a virtual monopoly on features like Marketplace and Events. And I find myself transferring large images & vid via Messenger out of simplicity when they're too large for email. It's not easy to remove Meta from your life. Or Google for that matter. It's sad america allowed that to happen.
I use it to browse marketplace but I haven't bought anything from there recently. People need to stop listing there when Craiglist is better in just every single way, Meta aside the Marketplace UI and messaging system is dogshit
I think FB is ingrained in their lives now so unless it goes offline the habit won’t get broken. Omg where would people post to say FB has gone down? 😂😂
I couldn’t cope with marketplace, too many utterly dumb questions for a simple sale tbh.
I have it ONLY for the dating section. Here in the south, there's LOTS of those "straight" guys that clogged Grindr during the GOP convention. Being partially homebound, getting out fo meet ppl is difficult, so I want conversation much more than shitty conservative sex. They're less likely to use FB
You're not wrong about the bird flu and eggs because it's happening here in Australia as well. I think the question is...will it be bungled as badly as the response to Covid? Anything related to 'flu' seems to get bungled by Trump. I fear that he is imagining a bunch of hens with bad head colds!
It's not because of the bird flu. Famers have ways to make hens lay more eggs. There isn't a supply issue with eggs. Egg distribution companies are price gouging, using the bird flu as an excuse. An anti trust lawsuit threat would drop egg prices immediately, it happened two years ago under Biden
Totally true but beside the point. He's the one who campaigned on lowering egg prices on day one (despite knowing that he could not do it). It makes sense to call that out, IMO
I had work for a place that out and out told me that I had no right to expect to be treated fairly because I'm black. Got feed up and quit. Damn near every job I got I was overqualified. So yes, I'm boycotting.
Of course but they blamed Biden for successfully having the lowest inflation in the developed nations post Covid, so this sticks to Trump, he broke these agencies so whatever would be the natural result of Avian flu is greatly exacerbated, like his tossing the pandemic response team did.
Downloaded all Meta data and then Deleted everything, every like, every post, every photo, every check in, every activity log, action. Deleted all accounts. Don’t want them to profit off my data.
Has been and all the new Star wars movies suck. What made them good was people waiting a few years for the next one to be released. Disney killed the frachise
In the future, will to continue to use Amazon to find things... Order it to see if I like it... Return it... And go directly to the manufacturer's page or check to see if it's available anywhere else. I may have to buy something eventually. But, Amazon will fight to make a profit on me.
I think of the one day as the gateway like "See, you can do one day, one day wasn't even hard. Can you do two days, three, a week? See how many "buy nothing days" you can string together, can you beat your own personal best?"
I'm in - and also canceling Amazon Prime tomorrow. Only really used it for NFL anyway - so not exactly a heroic gesture on my part. Every little bit adds to the sum.
I tried the huckleberry and the raspberry. I like sativa, but my body has a terrible reaction to indica. I may try the elderberry if there’s no Indica in it, or at least not majority Indica.
Also the brands - many of them are privileged white dudes running them and they have quite the reach in many states, like Curio and Rythm, Grassroots etc.
Keep in mind that for many small businesses, banks charge them for handling cash deposits. Using debit, while a bank product, often costs a small business less than cash spread across their transactions. Credit card is the most expensive + is big profit for banks.
Debit processing fees are something like 35¢ + 0.74% of the total. 2010 fed law forbids merchant charges for debit cards (PIN-based or labeled debit even if submitted as a credit card).
I would add employee owned companies, like the grocery chain in the Pacific NW called WinCo, as well as companies that treat their employees with dignity and respect, like Costco.
GUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY NOW?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ARE THESE MOTHER FUCKING NAZI HITLER SONOFABITCH PIECES OF SHIT TRYING TO KILL US????????????????????????????????????????????????
Honestly, if people started using cash again on a regular basis, it would put a major hurt on credit companies, considering that they make money everytime somebody swipes their card.
I will go with all of that but no cash. I get from 2 to 3% back on my CANADIAN credit card. Why would I go to the bank to draw out cash and then spend that.
I don't think these mfers realize how much we buy we don't need. I can go a couple of years without buying clothes. Sweets gone, eggs gone, and I've lived this long without milk. I can go longer. I can litterly live off of boxed mac n cheese 2 times a day.
I want the fired federal workers to form a co-op or B-Corp that sells all the stuff I used to buy on Amazon and Target. I don’t have much but I’d pitch in to help this get launched; I can’t keep buying a years worth supply of everything from Costco.
Moved from a big city to a small town. Consumerism is addictive. Was able to cut my spending down to basic needs (food, bills, & occasional clothing/furniture at local shops). It can be done and gets easier. Cooking at home also helps.
This is a great start but 1 day will not be enough for sustained change. This needs to be an ongoing boycott. Also start looking at the products you are buying. Where are they being manufactured? Do those companies support the anti-DEI agenda and Trump? Continue to fight back!
Make it EVERY Friday (I’m calling it Fuck Fascism Friday on my calendar). But here’s the fun bit / enough of us do it and let’s see if those big businesses start having ‘SPECIAL DEALS ONLY ON FRIDAYS!!!!’ (😏) (🖕🏼)
“Weird Weekends”, let’s do it every weekend and take back our free time and stop giving away our money - whenever your weekend happens - win-win for us!!
It's not just a meme. Have you ever heard of a general strike? My grandfather and uncles participated in them in world war II. France uses them all the time. As do other countries.
For the UAW the most recent one, very well. I don't know if you're just trolling or a crank or if you actually are sincere. I'll give you the benefit of the dount for the moment.
I am just saying, we have learned from the past and we have opportunities we have never had in history.
We could make changes, we do not need to repeat.
Of course I agree with you there. But general strikes especially when the country is large as ours with over 300 million people would be very effective. I think that the evildoers have really underestimated this.
Dropped my Prime membership, deleted my Facebook, and working very hard to only shop local or online directly from manufacturers website! If more do this, we can make a difference.
Cancelled Amazon Prime and Audible today. Switching to Better World Books and Libby through my local library. This will be a long term commitment, not just for tomorrow. ❤️
Kanopy is a free library app for movies and shows, Hoopla app also has books, movies, music and audiobooks. My libraries website also has 50 hrs free streaming music per month through Freegal.
Some libraries allow you a digital card for checking out audio and ebooks, even if you don’t live there. Sunnyvale and San Jose, CA are ones I’ve been able to get and use on Libby.
Yes! I have one library card for the county I live in but also a card from the system for the next county over because they allow it, and that county’s library has a larger catalog.
Some libraries have partnerships with other libraries, which let you borrow titles from a partner library using your home library card. https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6009.htm
Sometimes the wait is shorter at a partner library on Libby. When I search for a book in Libby, it shows me the wait time at all my partner libraries too and sometimes I luck out. Hoopla is another library app I have luck with sometimes.
Check it out on your library’s website if they have it. Hoopla gives you five borrows each month. Audiobooks, e-books. Not the most comprehensive selection, but great in a pinch. Kanopy is movies.
Tomorrow I will be going to Walmart after placing a nice Amazon order......I'm not a Target guy, but I'll make an exception tomorrow.......not a fast food guy, but I'll buy a few burgers and give them to the homeless.......and I'll fill up with gas on the way home.
One-day boycotts may not shake big corporations, but the plan goes further. Starting after Feb. 28, targeted week-long boycotts will hit specific major retailers. Millions skipping a day is a statement—weeks at a time will bring real financial pressure. And it's better than doing nothing.
Hopefully, it will help some people notice they really don't have to shop every day, they really can live without the impulse buy, & they don't really need all the stupid crap a lot of people spend their life spending their money on.
Consider it a first step to synchronizing our collective dollars in preparation to weaponize them strategically. We need to get everyone on board rocking the ship
Consider it a test of reach and power of this kind of call to action (inaction?) so that the lever may be able to be pulled again with more concise aims and to greater, destabilizing effect.
THIIIIIIIIIIS. Also it makes us feel a teeny tiny bit more in control and that's very important in the face of the immense powerlessness we're feeling daily.
Step by step. Most people wouldn't jump right into a month-long boycott, so one day gives people time to restructure and/or find alternatives. And I've seen this plan make headlines, so people will definitely be watching.
Well firstly it's not just one day. But also the goals are firstly to get people who haven't participated before interested in doing so, and also to demonstrate to the oligarchs what we are capable of if we decide to stop participating. There are buy nothing groups and thrift shops. We can hurt them
For everything that I don't absolutely need, I pretend that every dollar that I spend goes directly to Trump. I'm not helping the economy of someone who's actively hurting people. It doesn't end until we get decent leaders again.
It doesn’t feel like it matters very much… but if the idea catches on we will have power in numbers. Let’s starve the billionaires so they don’t have the money to buy our elections anymore!
I think of it like, I don't want my money helping billionaires, and I'll want that even if everyone else in the world is doing the opposite. I would love for it to catch on, but I'm doing what I think is right either way.
I don’t believe this will amount to much because people just buy before and after. More of a hiccup.
A more effective thing to do is cancel your Amazon prime and lean away from big box stores in general. Try to use small businesses as much as possible.
Also, stop buying things unless you absolutely need them. Stop using services unless you can't do without. Their economy thrives on overconsumption, impulse shopping, and shopping addiction. Cut them off.
I am feeling like the messaging needs to sift a little. The boycott week of Amazon, should be permant boycott and education week about alternatives so boycott can be permanent.Wash rinse and repeat, with Nestlé, Walmart, target, etc. That way, it becomes a rolling snowball, a tsunami week over week.
Honestly just remove the end dates for Amazon, Nestle, and Walmart. All three of them are reprehensible companies and I’m boycotting them long-term already lol.
Support local businesses!
Doing the best I can . Listen, I’m an environmentalist, organic gardener & a vegetarian. So, trust me, I do the best I can to not buy plastic, have 3 backyard compost bins & grow our food all summer. I am #Resistance in many ways 24/7✌🏻❤️☀️
Use Amazon to find the seller, then just buy directly from the seller's website. You'll probably pay more in shipping, but at least Bezos doesn't get a cut.
Next time you find something on Amazon, do a quick search for the seller and you'll probably find they have their own website. If you buy from there the seller will make more money and you won't be feeding Jeff Bezos' bottomless pockets.
Haven’t used Amazon in 5 yrs and trust me, it’s super easy. Go direct to seller and also keeps you from buying things you likely don’t need (bcuz you have to plan ahead - no next day Prime). Have 3 kids (teens) so I’m needing the same things most buyers are
Congrats! Gave up Target & Walmart years ago. I don’t buy paper towels or ziploc bags, have 3 compost bins, grow organic vegetables in my backyard & work to save our planet daily. We all do the best we can😉
#Resistance has an impact if EVERYONE participates in a ONE day boycott. It shows our POWER✊🏻💙
It’s hard when you have a disability and mobility issues and Amazon literally delivers everything to your door. There needs to be an alternative. TEMU isn’t the answer, that’s literally also Chinese spyware.
I don’t even think it’s about hurting them with a one day boycott. It’s about showing these companies that we do have power to affect them and we ARE noticing what they’re doing
I can’t do it because I live so remote. What I can do though is use it only when I absolutely have too. The majority of my money will be spent locally even if it means waiting or going without temporarily. I will find a replacement for Amazon though. Soon.
90% of the stores that sell on amazon also sell somehwere else. I dont understand theres no alternative mentality. Ive loved without shopping on Amazon for years theres plenty of alts.
My husband & I had surgery 3 weeks ago. Right now, it’s a necessity. More & more brick & mortar stores going bankrupt. I can’t tell you how many times I have driven to a store to be told: only available online🙄
Not going to explain about shipping vs. Amazon Prime account. My husband is permanently disabled. If we could edit on @bsky.app I would have explained🙄
It doesn’t mean I haven’t cut back & I will boycott days🤷🏼♀️
I had no idea that I could find the buyer online directly! I am going to start trying to do this from now on. I really want to stop supporting Amazon. I live so remote though that it has been a bit of a lifeline for us.
Better World Books, Abe Books, and yes, Temu, where you can buy all the same made-in-China stuff that you can get on Amazon, but with Temu you are actually ordering directly from the manufacturer, so it is way cheaper. F*Ck Bezos!
Thank goodness. Unfortunately, every country only gets one bloodless coup, and yours happened in January. Trump is currently racing to beat Hitlers record for dismantling a democracy while Hakim Jeffery is on a book tour, and Chuck doesn't want to ruffle any feathers.

Yeah, Corporations are gonna bounce back to being greedy like literally the next day. They need to regulate these bc at this point they might as well tax us for breathing
i get you
i'm using my own judgement and will be boycotting - indefinitely - all corporations that retreated from dei initiatives, as well as anyone who's donated to this administration and all corporations owned or run by the oligarchs
Manifesting unnamed, but well known, billionaires huddled at the boardwalk in Mission Beach, CA, hoping that gringo in the truck points at them in the morning, while one is too weak to muster among them, their long night before full of gratifying the elderly behind Circle K.
why don’t we try and encourage and support workers of these corporations to stage a walkout to go along with a no buy protest. it’ll be a lot harder to purchase stuff with no one there to sell you anything.
If your congressman or senator is a Democrat call, email or write them and tell them to walk out during Trump's State of the Union next week. Federal employees, who's jobs are currently under assault can't walk out. They need their jobs... and we need them doing those jobs!!
If all US consumers did this, it would result in a nearly $52 billion dollar hit. This is based on GDP of 27 trillion dollars, 70% of that is consumer spending, and 1 day is 1/365th of a year.
It is more about the show of solidarity and our ability to organize. These things /do/ get noticed.
But if you want to go the extra mile, organize locally. Make it once a week, every week. People recommend Fridays or Weekends for biggest impact, as those are frequently high traffic days.
Please check out our website of small 💙 businesses if you would like to shop your values!! We are adding new businesses every day and would love if you would check them out.
This is worthless. If you want to have economic impact you need to stop participating in the consumer society to the point that the economy goes into recession. That would actually get some attention.
Don't know if Patton Oswalt's politics were always this disconnected or if this is a recent development and I guess I don't really care. Still sucks to see one of your childhood guys do this sanctimonious fucking dance.
My mother in law, who is DBag lover, has mockingly reposted a post from Al sharpton about boycotting businesses . I wish I could rip into her. In my opinion she loves him like someday he is going to fuck her.

I'm known by sight as a regular by all 3 businesses, I received personalised service and, helped keep these businesses in my community

Obviously I get why you can't do a *total* blackout all the time, but if we're so opposed to those companies why not just blacklist?
