I am participating in this, and I hope you will too. I hope you'll encourage everyone you know to participate as well. On Friday, February 28th, I will not buy anything from anywhere (unless it's a local minority/woman-owned small business). No food, drink, movies, anything. Make yourself heard.

Trump’s first impeachment trial was about an attempt to extort Ukraine and every Senator who voted to acquit is responsible for all the harm coming now.

Get yourself immunized, and immunize your children. This is old, but just as relevant today, if not more so, than when it was first written in 1986:

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I am furious at Felon47 for betraying everything that made this country great. Growing up during the Cold War, watching Red Dawn, & serving in the USMC, I was committed to defending our nation from Russian aggression. I refuse to stay silent as he turns us into what we once fought against. #NAFO

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Such a shame that every media outlet is in the House and Senate press galleries ready to cover a Dem daily press briefing (it's their beat if it's done in Congress) but Dems simply won't do it. I've every detail covered on this, so there's no excuse @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Stop asking where former Vice President Kamala Harris is, she was right there willing to save us all from impending doom and many people failed her in order to choose doom instead just to see others suffer. Leave her the fuck alone, she owes no one anything.

So either a news outlet uses Trump's ridiculous "Gulf of America" name for the Gulf of Mexico (which the rest of the world doesn't even recognize) or they can't attend White House press events. Censorship and control of the media is a dictator's trademark.
