Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.  Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

Musk's DOGE reportedly designated an 82 year-old Seattle man as "dead" even though he's alive. They cancelled his Social Security, canceled his Medicare, and clawed back payments retroactively. $5,201 was taken from Ned Johnson's bank account. "Efficiency."

Seriously. Everyone is overwhelmed. (& if even a few people make the effort to let them know, that also represents the many, many more who'd be interested in hearing about it...)

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.
