I wonder what would happen if we all got in our cars and went to the drive thru of food places complacent with the capitalists without a conscience oligarchs and just drove thru - not ordering anything ????
SAME! Altho that's kinda how I live anyways. Ppl are too spoiled and aren't willing to give up much. It's infuriating. Must be nice to have options lol 😆 🙃
Yeah, I guarantee you that “the power” won’t even know this event is happening, let alone be hurt by it. What, you think they can’t afford to wait one day for you to buy stuff?
We should add to this boycott by going dark on facebook, instagram, threads and twitter! Ads run their as well so if we stay off of there we can starve them of their content and reach.
I think this is also very effective. A mass boycott of X facebook IG and whoever uses threads wld be super impactful. Imagine losing millions of users at once!! Its gonna hit their pockets. (Ive already done X and Facebook)
Do one better and ditch your prime account. When shipping costs as much or more than the item you will rethink its purchase. Shop locally as much as you can.
A recession will get the oligarchs to pay attention. Practice personal austerity. Cancel subscriptions. Don't eat out. Stop the lattes. Reduce recurring payments. Forestall major purchases.Cut back 10% and it will make a difference. Pass this along. #personalausterity #votewithyourwallet
Doing a permanent US blackout. Weirdly the US is going to be weakened as the ‘policies’ are so ill conceived. Inflation, prices, maternal deaths, disease, environmental degradation - all on the rise.
Fine except I boycotted the SB because I thought others would, and felt stupid when I saw the ratings for the game were the greatest ever. I don't know if this kind of thing works.
And make this part of everyday life. Stop buying shit we don't need that just makes billionaires richer. Stop supporting MAGA farmers. Buy from local blue sources where possible. $ is the most tangible way to get into MAGAs heads and make them start to question their loyalty to the Felon's cult.
One day? A single day? Pathetic. You've lost before you've begun if this is how you plan to 'defend democracy' unless you significantly ramp up your ambitions and efforts.
Other posters about this protest mention shopping at small, local businesses and using cash to not support corporations.
I also think Costco should be exempt from the boycott.
This will affect the blue state working class who include minorities & undocumented immigrants. I really wish these types of performative progress stop. This term requires very strategic push back. Also please be careful. Trump loyalists in, police, FBI & Army will not think twice to shoot you .
We're a Constitutional Republic. Have you ever heard the pledge of allegiance? Not a Democracy. And MAGA will spend double on your pathetic "strike" days. Double fail. Y'all aren't smart at all.
What needs to be done is like a one week general strike together with not buying stuff for a week! But also if you do not buy something on that day but instead by it the next? What is the difference? See the point?
This is really a silly idea. We are not going to buy PinkBerry for 24 hours?? The businesses know that if you don’t buy gas on the 28th you’ll buy it on the 27th or March 1st
General Strike. Real sacrifice. Real commitment - now before it’s too late.
Great way to attack small businesses and minority owned small businesses. This will not hurt big companies. But, it will hurt small business. Great Job
My suggestion is stop virtue signaling and stop being so miserable. Volunteer and help fellow people in your community and vote. Elections have consequences. Stop hurting small business. Trust me Amazon will not even notice you are gone, your tantrum is in a limited echo chamber
"Corp & politicians have built a system designed to keep us struggling while they profit off our labor & spending. This blackout is a wake up call, a first step in proving that we have the power to disrupt their system when we stand together." 💪
"we the people are the backbone of this economy" 💪
If we were to use online shopping, we can use Amazon to find out who is selling the products we want and cut out Amazon as the middle-man. Go straight to the person who is selling the product. I hope we can get another place like Amazon that won't sell out to the regime sooner than later.
That's why we always shop at stores here and 100% of the time use cash. I refuse to make such organizations as well as money pits like credit card companies richer; that middle-man can go f*ck himself.
We've tried to "get Trump" 100s of times and failed. But this time it will work maybe.
Lost cause. This isn't Cuba and you can't imprison an innocent man in America.
Democrats afraid to call Musk and Trump’s administration Nazis taking over our government need to understand that there won’t be another election. When Hitler took power in 1933, he shared authority with President Paul von Hindenburg, but within 18 months, he consolidated full control over Germany.
We are going to need a general strike early in a month after rents/mortgages paid, and 10 million people in Washington DC to shut it down. Expat wd be safest organizing.
Doesn't make sense to hurt the little people that aren't selling the billionaire's products or using their companies. Do it surgically and pinpoint Amazon, Tesla, anything Musk or Trump.
I am sending this by email to people I know aren't on Bluesky.
Please share with everyone you can. Its such an easy thing to do and if enough people do it, it will be noticed.
I'm doing what I did last admin. not buying anything i don't have to. bought new car, computer, phone etc in 23 under the Biden economy. so glad I bit the bullet then
The person working for tips that Friday is harmed but the business is unaffected if you buy it the day before or day after instead. A boycott that lasts one day doesn't change anything. Gotta skip more than one day on the bus or it's just virtue signalling.
Yup. I took a walk, went to the library. I stopped buying anything unnecessary on January 20. I won't buy anything unnecessary except on vacation outside of the US for the next 4 years. That's what I did last time the felon was in office.
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!!!
They’re starting with one day. Then a week March 7-14 and are building from there. As others noted in the comments some of us started already but the point is to join together in an overwhelming display of our economic power.
Roofed my house, replaced five windows, washer dryer, dishwasher all before trump took office. Never will I contribute to his economic economy, fu$k him!
Guess you won't be eating, using those appliances, or taking showers either. And the economy won't even notice your tiny un-contribution. That'll show your orange daddy who's boss😂
The Declaration of Independence states that governments are created to protect people's rights, and that they get their power from THE PEOPLE.
The Declaration also states that if a government is no longer protecting people's rights, THE PEOPLE have the right to change or abolish it.

I’m in!!!
Boycott the companies who donated to and stood at Trump's inauguration: Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta.
I also think Costco should be exempt from the boycott.
Time to tell
ELON and DICTATOR DONNY
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

They didn't do them legally so we should be able to "resist".
If it's cyberwarfare they want, let's give it to them!!

Um, so don't go to restaurants? Wait staff and cooks not paid.

The guy have to be stop and execute.
The blackout is a weak thing to do.
➡️I pledge to buy absolutely NOTHING on February 28, 2025.
Please share with everyone you can. Its such an easy thing to do and if enough people do it, it will be noticed.
FYI.
Your life is worth defending.
Be proactive about safety.

Only shop DEI, like Costco, and non-maga small businesses.
Finally, do this the last week of every month.

It's easy. Just be there.
