Can we direct the money towards local Hispanic grocery stores, East Indian stores, Black restaurants? That should be the message.
We need atonement in means to set our minds forward, and remind us and them why we will keep doing this. Without purpose, this is a moment, not a movement.
Well I'm disabled and both parties have made my life harder each and every year so "not spending money" is the easiest protest I've ever participated in.
Theres a multitude of reasons why this wont work out but i appreciate the gumption and do hope people actually do something to make a difference in this crazy situation our country is going through.
I’m creating a list for Australian consumers inspired in part by Canada.
1. Temporary boycott on 28 February and 15 March of US owned businesses or significant part ownership
2. Permanent boycott of businesses that supported Trump or Project 2025.
I hope ppl in other countries will do the same.
The only place that I’ve spent money since January 20th is at grocery stores. And at a local restaurant that I know shares my values. (That’s only been twice, though.)
I’m an idiot. I thought it was this Friday. I guess I’m wishing this dreary winter away. I’ve planned to not shop all week. Oh well. I’m on for next Friday as well.
We all need to stop shopping more than just a day but for the duration. Only necessities; absolute needs. Do you NEED to be on Amazon right now? Survival mode. Stop ALL EXTRAS 🤷♀️ FOR THE DURATION.
Man, we should be honest at least with ourselves: they're laughing their ass off over some one-day blackout...
let's talk about SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTHING TO THE BITTER END instead!
Feb 28 no work. Corporate America need to hear us and feel the pain like we the people do. NO SPENDING AND NO WORK ON 2/28. Show the people's strength by shutting down the country, All of America, 2/28.
I have an economic black out proposal as well! What does 🇺🇸 love more than football? IMO every collegiate AA player making 💩 loads of 💴 for these predominantly White schools, especially the top 10, don’t apply, transfer out & take your skills to a HBCU! Let’s see how the trustees fill about that!
1 Ohio State-$251,615,345
2 Texas-$239,290,648
3 Alabama -$214,365,357
4 Michigan-$210,652,287
5 Georgia-$203,048,566
6 LSU-$199,309,382
7 Texas A&M-$193,139,619
8 Florida-$190,417,139
9 Penn State-$181,227,448
10 Oklahoma-$177,320,217
These are just the top 10 out of 232 college/university!
If you want democracy and protect it Fokking get out and PROTEST.
Freedom is more easily lost than won.
Democracy did not come into existence with peaceful demonstrations.
Civil disobedience, Civil war.
Europe has seen many episodes to install and protect democracy.
Repost and spread the word
We are about to lose it again overseas, with felon fueling European fascists and their accomplices, everywhere: media, parties, they’re spreading like vomit
Why one day? I'm refusing to buy from Amazon. It's not going to change until... well, maybe forever.
I refuse to shop at Walmart, because white racists.
We have to do better than one day. How about buy only necessities for the whole year? Save your money. No job is secure when layoffs will extend from government to private.
Name one successful buy nothing day. It does not work. It only makes you feel like you are doing something so you don't have to do the hard stuff that will actually work. We need a general strike.
That is the plan I'm spreading it across social media and have texted family and friend's emailed as well oh and messaged too! I'll send this out midnight 2/28/25 so we all remember!!
Please realize that many of the items you see on Amazon are not sold by Amazon, but by small businesses, using Amazon to get some exposure. Boycott the things "Sold By" Amazon, but please support the small family businesses that are NOT Amazon, but rely on your purchases.
We should be doing a lot more of this than 1 or 2 days. Like you guys don't want to listen to black people. You don't want to listen to military personnel. You don't want to listen to anybody who wants to help you. Don't want to start forming parties. You just want to half-ass it 😂
I don't think one day will ever be enough. Especially now that so many companies have contributed to the fascists.
We need to support small businesses in any way we can, always. Hard to do, but if you can support them moving forward it will make ignoring Amazon easier.
Super easy, since I never use all three. My life operates just fine. I gave the middle finger to Amazon years ago after slaving away processing Amazon returns.
Honestly, it needs to be for more than just one day! I've personally cut waaaay back, and no longer stock up on items or shop just because of "sales"...if it's not an absolute necessity, I'm not buying it!! The only way yo get attention with the greedy 2% is to impact their bottom lines!!! 😡
I want to see them panic when we punch their sorry asses right in the bank account. This is ON TOP of several massive market crashes, and timed perfectly to fuck with them right when they’re trying to avoid another gov shutdown by the way #eattherich #fucktrump #republicannazis #fuckmaga #fuckelousk

This will be a long campaign.
Let's Go You'all!!!!!
#BoycottAmazon
2025-? I won't buy anything that I don't absolutely need. Spending money while Trump is in power is like giving him money to hurt people.
Another reason to save your money everyday is because hard times are coming...

None of them should be or need to be billionaires.
I know many require a competitive environment to shine.
No one is worth 10,000 of me.
Nor even 100 of me.
Or of you.
Resist!

Democracy did not come into existence with peaceful demonstrations.

From any of me or mine
This one day is just where we start
We'll find alternatives to tear you apart
The mainstream media abandoned us for Trump
So the mainstream media is due for the dump
Find resources, collaborate, & share
With us together on Bluesky we'll get there...
We usually shop this way in Europe.
And this has a serious impact.
QUIT TODAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
Buy local. Do not buy from nazi corps.
➡️ February 28, beginning at 12:00 a.m. ⬅️
The Oligarchs/Corporations only see profit or LOSS.
Let's hit them where it hurts - in their wallets!

how 'bout just no SHOPPING? PERIOD!
We need to support small businesses in any way we can, always. Hard to do, but if you can support them moving forward it will make ignoring Amazon easier.
One day is NOT enough.
It started with
No Work, No School, No Purchasing
A total economic blackout.
Not spending money is superhero shit.
Are you?
On any Day - EVER!
