Absolutely. 💯%

YES! Please consider that ONE DAY might not be enough. Let's follow this expert's advice:

We have to do this everybody together! This is a start to see if we can do things together to make a difference, but one of us can’t do this and make it work! Hundreds of thousands needs to do this for it to work!

How did Al sharpton get his name on this?

radioman49.bsky.social•3 days ago

This idea is very much spot on to make a strong statement to the WH and the media also

We are in. Shopped for food today.

This is worth doing.

Retailers obsessively track daily sales; they *will* notice our (in)action.

I’m all in!

NEWS FLASH! Trump and Musk join No-Buy Friday movement. Donald vows not to pay any of his contractors or lawyers a penny while Elon pledges not to buy another election until April.

pammieb.bsky.social•3 days ago

I use to be on twitter and left long ago, finding the gang over here has been awesome!

pfft05.bsky.social•19 hours ago

How did the boycott go? I know a lot of folks that participated.
RESIST! 💙🇺🇸😎

timotea.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m prepared for tomorrow.

sharoncstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Me too. I usually go to a chain coffee shop for breakfast, but I’m staying home and making my own.

mumwust.bsky.social•2 days ago

The brilliant thing about this is the more that we do this the advertisers will pull their ads for blackout days. So it’s not just that the companies aren’t getting our money, but the manufacturers will not be paying that day to have their items and companies sponsored on those different sites

We have the power to make the corp/ tech/ finance complex- listen to the will of the people.
Economic pressure of the boycott is the only language
they understand.

Bet!!

katesskatess.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am in it and loving it!

karmercoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hope that this is never done on a Saturday.

jackmahogoff.bsky.social•3 days ago

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. This includes all stocks in any companies either. I have liquidated my stock portfolio of traitors to democracy!!

jackmahogoff.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is our problem. We finance them with our endless spending. Trade, barter, share, shop second hand stores and stop endless spending starve these shitbag oligarchs to oblivion. They only understand money so give them as little of your hard earned money as possible!!!

Will do.

too-young.bsky.social•3 days ago

I will buy nothing tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday

politicshere.bsky.social•2 days ago

I plan on returning a bunch of stuff to Amazon today...

stupiddorkface.bsky.social•2 days ago

let's go beyond a 24hr boycott. start finding ways to live your life without relying on amazon/walmart/etc. get creative and learn how to live without all the bullshit they have convinced us we "need"

tonyrush.bsky.social•3 days ago

I appreciate the sentiment and I'm for anything that will make a difference. But I've never seen a one-day boycott of anything work. Because everyone just buys on Saturday what they chose not to buy on Friday.

We have to hit harder than this.

cornstarch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fair point, but this is still worth doing.

Retailers obsessively track daily sales; they *will* notice our (in)action.

And they know that not every lost sale is made up for, at least not immediately. And some deferred impulse/discretionary buys never get made.

We engaged in citizen journalism. We went to our local mall to see how the boycott was working. https://bsky.app/profile/tjhsstparents.bsky.social/post/3ljbdsai3222b

tjhsstparents.bsky.social•2 days ago

We tried to crowd source additional ideas on our handle. One person was making Whole Foods returns to see if they could make Whole Foods go negative. Another mom suggested we all close PayPal accounts. Another dad suggested removing shopping apps on phones. Leave CitiBank. Etc.

dhnlov.bsky.social•2 days ago

I did. I'm just writhing with rage over the latest pro putin televised town hall.
I already restocked my wine and tequila, so I'm good.

tastewart.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m participating!!

onewithblue.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, sir! I'm done to infinity and beyond!!! I'm done with #corporategreed! False inflation to raise prices #Kroger One of the largest grocery chains has been price gouging since covid!!!

bsoongrl.bsky.social•2 days ago

A window into my world on boycott day. My day job’s in grocery & I’m telling ya BOYCOTTS WORK. 2 yr ago anti trans ppl boycotted Bud Lt for an online ad with a trans influencer. This changed what people buy, whats on display, what’s on tap. Habits changed, retailers changed & it hasn’t gone back

picodegalpal.bsky.social•2 days ago

only 24 hrs? I was planning for longer😂

jim-lucky.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, I'm in - BUT
Better - Pick BRANDS of each type of buying/product and permanently stop using them for a month or more. a PARTICULAR gasoline / supermarket chain / clothing / etc etc

fullerray.bsky.social•3 days ago

No buying tomorrow, nothing, NADA,

lobleytea.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm ready. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the other boycott schedules, but I've been mentally preparing for this one.

Serious question, does this boycott include weed? It's time for me to reup for my girlfriend and I get paid on Friday.

falterj.bsky.social•3 days ago

But remember to support small businesses…everyday.

dailycuppa.bsky.social•3 days ago

YES! Ready to go!
No impulse buying, friends. We can do this for 24 hours!

bgwj777.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course I will but I want the majority of working class to be accountable. The rich have already shown us what they will do. It's time for the adult in the room to take over.
GENERAL STRIKE!
👊🤨👊

reinbeau.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone compared the coup to 911, and I can't help recalling when "W" exclaimed go to the malls and SHOP!
Deserted stores send the capitalist 🐷🐷🐷 into panic.
