"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

With No Kings Day coming up, I'd like to continue to remind everyone that hitting all of them in the wallets is still one of our best solutions; and, is also a unifier.

Boycotts work.
Lets prove that to all of them

#TheAlliedForces
#GeneralEconomicStrike

General Economic Strike

Boycott Everything Publicly Traded
Shut Them Down

Not for one day
Not for one Month
For The Duration

Boycott:
Corporations
Billionaires
Oligarchs

Take Back our World
Together, we can do this

Shop small businesses. Shop privately owned businesses

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll
