Agreed. They are the minority. We The People hold the real power. Let’s use it to stop those who would rape and pillage our government and fellow citizens. ✊
this sort of chart needs to go to ALL news organizations, particularly local news stations, so people who aren't on social media like Bluesky are informed and can participate.
Just a reminder buying stops at midnight. Please make your plan and resist purchasing for 24 hours. No credit card or debit card purchases we the people need to make a statement.
It feels off to pick up a prescription Friday but it had to be ordered. I only have today left and it will not be ready till after 2 pm 28th. I will do the drive thru and not go in the store. The rest is easy.
They only understand the language of money. They fund repression, depression and distraction. They were the forces which empowered China's emergence as a factory country - they fund those who want what we've got but they don't want US...
Honestly if they publicly won't face it's consumers and say proudly that they're FUCKING US OVER, then we hurt their business. Fuck their business take it a step further, never buy from them again.
Stopped buying Nestle years ago. Haven’t been to Walmart in decades. I kinda miss the crazies 🤷♀️ Can do without Amazon for a week and I am on board for Feb 28. Everyone should do what they can and no one should lecture anyone on how much they can do.
You don't need to be American to follow this, apart from basic foods, it's a total stop on 28th, and avoiding Amazon too, good luck, here's to making an impact with the only thing they understand - the bottom line 🥰
Just to add, pay day is 28th 🤕
So am flat out of everything, checked account and I got paid a day early, so can now get to CORNER shop, get a few bits n bobs to get me through, see you on the farside, going to follow on for the next full stop on April 18 too 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great.
We blacked out all of these months ago. No Walmart, no Target, no Amazon. It was easier to do than we thought.
It’s time to hit them where it hurts. It’s time to #StopTheSpend. In fact, we’re not buying jack fucking shit for the duration of this shitty fucking administration.
Without trying to sound righteous or some shit. My Amazon use is permanently stopped. Have not used any Nestlé product in years. Probably at least 10 years since I set foot in a Walmart. It really ain't that hard to spend your hard earned money in better places people!
You know, when you tell people to purchase essentials in advance that means these companies are still getting your money. They're just getting it a little earlier. That's how asinine all of this is. Fucking pointless.
Especially since it takes time to find alternatives for a lot of people. I’ve been working on nonconsumption, but there are times when what I need doesn’t have an alternative source. In small towns with even fewer stores than where I am, it’s even harder.
Where are the sites affiliated with musk? How about the companies that advertise on musk sites? BOYCOTT AND RESIST. Not just one day of BOYCOTTING but every day!
Perhaps great companies should stop selling out to soulless corporations. Hard to praise great companies when their founders shameless accept a huge lump sum of money in exchange for throwing their customers under the bus.
I'm all set for tomorrow. Cat food ordered from Chewy today. Stopping after work at local department store for new shoes, then local grocery store (small local chain) for yogurt & ice cream. Need nothing for tomorrow. I'm all set. YAY!
It’s really nice. I shop Giant but have a small chain named Landis Grocery that I frequent. A local clothing chain called Boscovs is another I use. I’m temporarily off Target although I do buy their brand cat litter. Also local Whole Foods store (not connected to the huge one).
All good sentiments. However, let's not get into the boycott purity olympics. There are already judgey comments in this thread. For a lot of people in rural areas, Walmart may be the only place within 40 miles to buy essentials. (They spent decades making sure that was the case.)
Also, local shops, if they exist at all, are often more expensive. "Just buy local" has the same feel as "just buy organic". For a lot of folks, it's either Walmart or the Dollar Store. Also, a lot of those local business you want to support? They depend on Amazon to stay open.
In conclusion, I support the idea of limiting what you purchase from these companies as much as possible. But let's not shit on people who may still need to use the companies to survive because "they aren't trying hard enough". Just be grateful that you have the means to be selective.
Got products from "bad" companies you don't want anymore? Take them to your food pantry, women's shelter, homeless shelter, pet shelter, etc. They don't have the luxury of boycotting.
That will be easy. I haven't used any products from those companies for over a decade. 😊 Already transitioned away from substandard products like those that are notably overpriced. Maybe the blackout will bring light to this as well?
“Water access isn’t a human right.” Property ownership is an abstract idea, dehydration and sanitation aren’t. Maybe we should abolish property ownership before denying people water, Nestle.
I would say don't ever shop at Amazon again, also if you get the Washington Post, unsubscribe. Make Jeff Bezos feel financial pain for once. As long as Apple is not being attacked, I'm fine with this.
Let me know how effective this is. I love how everyone wants to do anything they can outside of getting into politics. Don’t boycott, run for an office. :)
We have a fundraiser that was planned before this boycott, we are trying to get our show choir to nationals in March and running really behind our goal. So if people want to use that money to support a small choir from a low income school, we will be forever grateful! link in bio to donate now!
I've blacked each and every one of these out for weeks now. And my list just keeps growing. There are alternatives - it just takes a little research and it feels great!
One day is TOO SHORT! Make it MUCH LONGER! If you want to REALLY make a difference, buy only what you NEED & leave the rest on the shelf. Make the duration indefinate so that corporations will learn their lessons. Most of the stuff we Americans buy feeds the "feel good" addiction. Time 4 a change!
It shouldn’t be « One Day » event.
It should be until they bankrupt
I stopped a month ago
Honestly, had to gradually do it but I found, today, most of my items, groceries, locally OR coming from Mexico, Europe, China, Taiwan
It was fast before but cannot encourage morons anymore
Stop spending period... Today I had 2 cups of coffee instead of 3, will get to zero, will take time as I'm addicted to caffeine. Already cut back nightly beer/wine. Drink only tap water. We used to eat out 10-15 times a week (lunch&dinner) and have started cooking again.
Why wait? Black out NOW and keep going til we've hurt them enough to make changes. Only buy absolute necessities and try to shop small/local. F these big brands and companies, they need us more than we need them! ✊🏻💙🤘🏻
The flyer doesn't say what organizations are behind this blackout so I hope @50501movement.bsky.social is helping promote it. These too: @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @moveon.org

1) Don’t pay taxes on April 15, 2025.
2) Don’t travel on any of those black out days.
3) Do contact your reps repeatedly and all day on each of those days, tell them your mind.
4) Do spend time with your family and friends, if possible.
I wont pay the dictatorship money to take away my freedoms.
If nearly all of Americans stop paying taxes, it will get their attention.
This would definitely be a good indicator of how a national vote would turn out if held that day.
If people end up going back to Walmart and other huge stores the day after tomorrow, it will not teach them a damn thing.
Shop local from now on if you can. ✊✊🏾✊🏻

So proud... 🇭🇷❤️🇺🇸
Thank you
Day 1: (Today)-"The masks come off"—how billionaires went from shadowy string-pullers to open rulers.
Day 2 (Tomorrow)- "The Titans collide"—Trump vs. Musk, a war of greed, ego, and betrayal.
Worth a read!!
How about "Shop local as much as possible."
So am flat out of everything, checked account and I got paid a day early, so can now get to CORNER shop, get a few bits n bobs to get me through, see you on the farside, going to follow on for the next full stop on April 18 too 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙

We must gather! Posting online only goes so far! Please, movement leaders, please call for us to show up and we will be there. When?!?

I have a "obeyed in advance" list of companies that I will never do business with ever again.
And I'm only buying basic necessities until the fascist oligarch Nazis no longer hold power.
A good economy is pointless if you're living in fascism.
It’s time to hit them where it hurts. It’s time to #StopTheSpend. In fact, we’re not buying jack fucking shit for the duration of this shitty fucking administration.
I will follow the blackout and not shop.
Also "Open Secrets"

You help yourself and you keep your money out of their pockets at the same time. Just commit to three months you’ll be amazed.
Cut the ties with Bezos.
Could just only buy groceries and fuel- thrift locally/buy new if it's truly local. (Omg I sound like a flipping hippy.)
This is the only protest that matters in late stage capitalism.
You can make it a few months. It would only take a few weeks of concerted effort but we can't expect that.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole idea?
Don’t spend money ever again at these places. Period!
AUDIT NOV 5 ELECTION IN SWING STATE.
