#WeAINTBUYINGIt !! Coming up!!
Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Thank you #FBI for doing the hard work.
NEW: The FBI just arrested a suspect in the January 6 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case.

📌 Two explosive devices were placed outside the DNC and RNC headquarters the night before the January 6 attack.

@thanedar.house.gov, thank you for being willing to stand up for human rights, even if some of your party isn’t willing to stand beside you.

This is the kind of leadership we’re looking for - Representatives that will hold Trump’s regime responsible for actual murder.

YES!!
“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.”

@RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs.

Well, an independent investigation now confirms it: Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots during Signalgate.

Our servicemembers deserve leaders who never put them at unnecessary risk. If Hegseth had a shred of decency, he’d resign.

Fishing boats for target practice?

Alejandro Carranza Medina was a Colombian fisherman, tuna & merlin were typical catches for him. His family has named Pete Hegseth in their formal Human Rights complaint in Alejandro’s murder.

OH #Canada thank you.
Pete Hegseth is facing serious allegations about the murder of wounded sailors at sea. He thought he was being funny using a Canadian cartoon character to brag about the killings.

Yep, yep, yep. I was perhaps one of the slower ones to get Amazon-addicted, or just my imagination. I boycotted the filthy idea of paying "a FEE for FREE" shipping for years.
Ultimately I succumbed AND went annual last year, damn it.
Cancelled completely, September. #NOAmazonRenewal
I let Amazon go 2yrs ago. I no longer buy crap i dont need. I do put holds on library books...the horror. As for shipping many bigger stores ship for free to their nearest store. Small businesses are worth the shipping fee which is offset by not shopping Amazon. Prime streaming is a bait and switch.
December 1, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Yep, yep, me too.
I’ve bought all Xmas presents from Amazon cause my grandkids all live far away. This year I’m shopping direct with smaller vendors. It’s more time consuming and a little more expensive, but fuck Bezos.
