So we have to shop local 😁
Never understood “Good” Friday…they took the guy, and nailed him to a cross with huge nails, after jamming thorns into his head.
Explain to me like Im a 2 year old, how is that good.
This list is helpful to at least see who to avoid (funded our current state):

Love shopping with them. Feels nostalgic and reminds me of bygone eras/better times! 🇺🇸💔
But....you're not scolding ME or policing MY behavior now, right?
Patronizing Walmart and Amazon is actively funding our demise and I love this country too much to let her fall.
You do you
Just ordered online from Amazon, Target and others.
⚫⬛⚫ ECONOMIC BLACKOUT Days are Today through April 20!⚫⬛⚫
Only patronize Small, Local Businesses -- NOT Walmarts!... NOT Amazon!!
We must take back our power.

Exposure + Motivation + Coalition building + Revolution

Coalition building: what STEPS .....
Amazon. It does NOT allow independent businesses from operating ANYWHERE. It just took in the pharmacy industry by allowing people to buy their drugs by PHONE! Duh?
We could all cancel en masse!
Thanks.
I LOVE that sane Americans are taking action - frustrated AF we can't get our messaging out en masse!!
How do we centralize messaging??
Right wingers spent decades perfecting this tactic. We've got weeks, not months, to get it together
I stay on top of politics thus know that even elected Dems struggle w/this issue...should we hammer new DNC Chair, @kenmartin.bsky.social
to freakin communicate directives to us??
I, too, follow Indivisible & am on Mobilize email list. 5calls.org is a GREAT tool, shall continue to use it.
It's getting so dark in America so quickly. I know I'm not alone in feeling scared & overwhelmed, your reminder to focus my energy on a few atrocities was helpful 💙

What if mom and pop voted for Trump?
Or choose fair trade! SERRV is a nonprofit org offering unique handmade items and delicious foods.
Get the word out. I didn't know until I read this just now.

Shop local. Check out local Farmer’s Markets.
Have you started a garden? Even a pot or two of herbs in a window? Small tomato plant? All can be in separate containers.

We’ve got plenty of great shit.
My sister’s been feeding them special formula, which is really expensive, and Lisa needs proper food too.
It’s tough… even $5 could save them.

There's no chance I'll break the line on this one.
Otherwise, it's all big chain stores, that i know for a fact every single restaurant, store etc voted Republican in fact they brag that they donate portions of their earnings to them.
Alot of places will not even ship to me. That leaves me very, very, very limited on choices.

Maybe a sustained boycott for several months but it would probably end up in layoffs for working class folk at thoses companies.
It builds community spirit and grows vegetables for the community. You can also start tomato plants in your window sill or rooftop food garden, there are lots and lots of things people can do. You can grow food in small spaced, Japan in 1sqm 1500 cal.
Shit, I'm not even Usian, and I'm boycotting the tech bro's and any other Trump apologist that raises there sad heads over here.
Start now, make it a habit
My grocery store, HEB, is amazing, they still have their DEIA policy up, and the company as far as I can find does not donate to political parties.
PS sorry we gave the world Amazon. That’s our bad. But we also have y’all Costco so… even?
PLEASE PASS IT ON. WE HAD 5.2 MILLION SHOW UP LAST TIME SO WE NEED MORE TOMORROW!
This is performative.
Economic Blackout Day
No large chains No online Amazon. Let's hit them where it hurts in their wallets and (for the billionaire ladies) pocketbooks.
No money spent. Nothing.
