#StopBuying
You want to fight back? Scale back.
Stop buying niceties, stop buying gifts, stop your subscriptions, fight back with your wallet.
They only care about money, hit them the only place they’re looking.
A financial strike!

I endorse this. GENERAL STRIKE!

No time better than now, as the Government is also shutdown.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

We're putting out $25M in grants to train 22,000+ California workers in the skilled trades like construction.

That's on top of the $30M announced last week for apprenticeships in health care, education, and tech.

You shouldn't need a college degree to land a high-paying job.

The silly thing, how many people would have paid to buy an old window from the White House, or a scrap of a wall. Nope, into the dumpster…

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Trump’s ICE Jacks Up Weapons Spending by 700%—Including ‘Guided Missile Warheads’ | Common Dreams

The Trump administration's massive increase in funding for ICE weapons is alarming. ICE is now armed to the teeth, treating its officers as a private military to deploy against Americans. Why does…

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

And if Trump may tear down part of the White House without congressional approval, I don't see an argument against his authority to tear down the entire White House at his whim.

Judge Graber: “I urge my colleagues on this court to act swiftly to vacate the majority’s order before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur. Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.”

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

The new Medicaid rules are even worse for people who need life-saving medication.

I'll let this wonderful, extremely mad, mom explain how bad this new rule is and how it is impacting her young son.

Please watch. Then share this everywhere!

People will suffer needlessly or worse.

It's almost funny (or as funny as it gets, these days) that Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia was being really racist in a GOP group chat and the others were saying, "OMG, you are being really racist, aren't you worried this will get out?" and he just racisted more.

Here’s the other big problem: Treasury Secretary Bessent is sitting on a massive Epstein file containing thousands more bank documents that would help us continue to follow the money through his sex trafficking ring.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.
