I am participating and sharing. It’s my hope that from this point forward, individuals will think about who is benefitting when they make a purchase, and do the following: 1) (obviously) don’t buy products or services through the oligarchs that are in league with Trump. Some are obvious, like musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg. 2) defer on major purchases like homes, automobiles and appliances at least for the next couple of years. 3) Drop subscriptions to media and social media outlets that have bent a knee to the dictatorship. Save your money for absolute essentials. Either way, you’re gonna need it to get through these next 4 years.

Thank you, Kim. No car purchases. No appliances purchases. Nothing made in a Red State. Was it you that said deface all Teslas? You do not need to do that. Throwing an egg works.

Preferably a paint balloon.

Eggs got rather precious recently.

I enjoyed my coffee this morning over the keyboard as I went down the inbox and found the comment or customer or barring that just the reply function (often resulting in a daemon response that the box is unattended but I tried) and told every vendor or company that tried to sell me on things today that clearly they weren't into saving democracy so they were unsubscribed. Result: Cleaner inbox at least since I basically buy very little very infrequently apparently compared to most folks - just not buying things one day isn't much of a lift for me.

Yup! Cancelled my Amazon Prime/Prime Video Membership FOR GOOD today to join the Boycott! Widdled down my Streaming to just basic Hulu & Netflix - cancelled Apple+, Disney+ and MAX Streaming last summer 2024 when all these 'Rump & Musk Cucking CEO's David Zaslav, Bob Iger, Tim Cook showed their public & donation support for those two Fascist Assholes...

The only money I'm spending today is by supporting two local businesses: one Black Owned Restaurant nearby my local Independent cinema showing Oscar Nominated Shorts and the Oscar Nominated American Immigrant story "The Brutalist" after the shorts.

You guys should really teach us all a lesson and go on a hunger strike.
