GENERAL BOYCOTT NOW! We consumers have more power than we realize. If the good 50% of us cut their purchases by just 10%, that’s a 5% drop in demand and would tank the economy. Let’s start saving NOW!

I found this article on “competitive authoritarianism” very worthwhile reading. Clearly lays out where we are, and what is likely to happen. I don’t know the best hashtags for this kind of thing here on BlueSky; trusting others will repost for maximum effect. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Just watched CNN put Tim Burchett on and let him run off on live tv with a stream of MAGA lies and praise for DOGE and everything trump. Shameless. OMG. What has happened to the CNN that used to hold politicians accountable to fact? Now they are just another mouthpiece for the plutocratic coup?
