After the $h1t that fElon has been doing with the government agencies computers, I deeply suspect that he used his minions hacking skills for election interference. That being said, I believe that where and when we spend our money is honestly our last, true vote. Don't. Buy. $h1t.
Just decided to put our yearly Amazon purchase for office supplies On 2/28. Also hosting a lunch and buying plenty of food for an Entire hospital that same day. 🇺🇸#MAGA
Some if the not so smart people still that $50 million ( which was increased by the current occupant of the White House to $100 million) was actually sent to Gaza for condoms, but most people don’t believe that particular fable.
Listen, one day is not enough,companies that have fueled this republican shit show need to be boycotted permanently. Go to "goodsuniteus", this website identifies these companies and offers alternatives.
This worked really well in Spain to rid the government of the aftermath of Franco the dictator. I was there. What worked even better was adding in a strike. And being Spain, they made it a party. Over a million people in Barcelona alone.
It's like "We'd resist the nazi horde, but you know, not on Wednesday because of Disney+ oh, damn, three episodes? Not from wed-fri, and then it's the weekend and then Mondays ARE the worst, and feels like tue are the only day I have for myself and..."
I agree with all of it but the small local business. In my town, most are trump supporters. I will not support the local businesses at all if they are magas.
A Canadian Bluesky friend posted this picture for groceries. Canadian alternatives for alt-right supporting corporations. Will definitely participate on the 28th AND we can be making other changes now.
Please repost with the corrected day of the week. February 28th is a Friday. Organization and attention to detail helps the credibility of the movement.
How about spending that day calling all the fuckheads in the house and senate who allow or enable this takeover...who confirm unqualified and terrible people for the nation's highest posts. Senators and Reps must make a lot more money than their salaries if they are willing to sell their souls
As a person with anxiety about just calling my Dr to schedule an appointment, what am I supposed to say if I get my rep or sen on the line? It seems overwhelming for me even tho I’m sure it’s very easy, I know I’m not alone in this.
Use the 5 Calls app. It is free, has scripts for different issues and you put in your zip code to get the numbers of all your representatives. I used it with success.
Most of our reps have contact forms on their websites. Blow em’ up. Also, Resistbot will send emails for you. As mentioned, after hours VM is great too.
Businesses rely on consumers to buy product. If one day that didn’t happen, it would throw off projected sales, when companies don’t make money, they panic. The idea is to demonstrate the power of the consumer and that these businesses don’t exist without us. Problem is getting us to work together
I love that idea if you're trying to stop a single brand's behavior, but I don't think it would get other conglomerates to push our legislators to action.
I haven't bought a Nestlé product since lockdown (Michigan water theft), but the $ I would have spent with them is just going to other brands.
Businesses plan ahead how much they’ll sell in a day. If the numbers they have don’t match the results, the number crunchers will freak out. If consumers wanna pre buy or whatever it’ll still show the one day as a deficit
I'm on Bluesky because I quit FB and IG, *and* Twitter, (before #ElonHimmler ruined it).
My friends callit #InstaFaceTwit. As well,
I will never be caught dead driving around in a #SwastiKar, (or the dumpster-Raccoon trap), and finally...
I make sure to flip the dealerships off when I drive by them
This has the wrong date/day. The 28th of February 2025 is a Friday and not a Thursday, which is it? I passed this on to people with the incorrect information. Is this actually happening?
To play devil's advocate, the Corps could retaliate by limiting the availability of consumer goods driving up prices and empty shelves.
It's a risk either way.
Not just one day for me! I cancelled Amazon on inauguration day and will boycott any and all companies or products supporting this coup. Democracy deserves more than one day!!!
Need to start with a week long blackout. Share how to prepare, meals and necessities before hand and then don't even visit websites or go to the stores. Only local. Should really only do local as much as possible too.
It would be more powerful if it was for much more than a day. If they were concerned that we weren't coming back. And, actually, I don't plan to give them a dime again.

target worse than walmart or amazon.. those 2 gave lip service still have new dei hires.. target stated they would stop giving consideration to black vendors My walmart grocery just hired a new trans cashier. it is one thing to stop training it is another to start discriminating
Happy to do this. Have also deleted FB acct, deleted my IG acct and 3500 photos (maga sucks & f*ck Meta), removed Google and deleted Google acct. happy to spend Feb 28 painting and working at home.
I really hope this works. I really do. But I fear only half of the US will do something of similar effect, and that's a wildly optimistic guess at what percentage will do it.
The other half being MAGA/Red state/whatever will just continue spending and carrying on as usual.
You need to bring down the country and stop the show. There is a criminal in the oval office and no one cares for it. He is literally breaking the law constantly there and you are just sitting there watching.
You need to protest till you convince the others. You need to stop the country and insist on the law being uphold. You need to actually have to do something to keep your country as it, just like other countries did. Watch "Where To Invade Next" for a bit instructions and samples.
So don’t go to a movie, eat out, go to a bar, attend a sporting event, etc. in other words, cause ourselves some pain in order to really stick it to the man. Yeah that should work. Personally I think trump’s tariffs will cause businesses much more pain than this.
Unfortunately the American public are not seeing the ground-swell happening throughout Canada. Numerous FB pages for 'shop Canadian'. The movement is everywhere and growing exponentially without any leadership needed. The results will have lasting effect long after the madness.
Buy groceries the day before, fill your tank up, pick up prescriptions. I’m going to boycott tv too. Read a book or play a game with your family. Boycott as many things as you can. Yes, hit them in their pocketbook.
For future reference, it’s easy to change the date. And for website coding, the text structure is a simple self-contained “div”, also available at no cost.
I’m doing this! It might be a good idea to do it once a month, just to keep reminding the bastards (sorry for my language) their growth and their profits come from our spending POWER!
It's already my lifestyle. I've been doing this ever since these millionaires/billionaires have been letting their masks drop. If it's not necessary, it's not happening. I have what I NEED already.
Make it a point to shop independent businesses go to mom and pop food places make big business hurt. Not for a day not for a week until frotUS backs down hurt big business they will go to their leader and beg. That’s what we need to be calling for f-Walmart f-Amazon mom&pop meat markets better meat!
The problem with these one day protests is that they inevitably lead to a "rebound" in the next few days. To truly impact these businesses, you have to sustain cuts to spending over time.
I've been telling people, if they can't quit fb, insta & x, what makes anyone think these one day protests will do anything. Social media costs nothing, isn't necessary but using them puts money in the pockets of the mouths that bite us. Let's start with the easy stuff first.

We’re suffering enough already

Let's take a stand for Canada!!
Use your phone for necessary calls and texts only.
Thanks
Uncoordinated calls (different days and times)
may hurt, rather than send a strong message
Before re-posting this I need to know who and how this call is being coordinated.
If you do, please respond here with the info / dm me.
Thanks!
It would hurt them worse if we stopped buying their goods and services. We would tank their stocks.
Anyway, doing nothing isn't going to help.
I haven't bought a Nestlé product since lockdown (Michigan water theft), but the $ I would have spent with them is just going to other brands.
Do not use a Visa credit card.
Do not go on Facebook, Instagram, or XTwitter.
And God forbid, do not buy a Tesla.

Success will bring others to the protest
What’s your plan?
With your hands on your head or on . . .” Clash “Guns of Brixton”
Kinda like people who didn’t vote are now wishing that they had
And no. Fireworks are for children.
This blackout needs to last until change is made.
Delete online accounts with companies such as Facebook and Amazon.
Humanity and democracy is worth losing the convenience of using these platforms!
