I only block accounts if I see they're solicitation scams. Disagreement is welcome.
If I don't follow you, please don't take it as an insult. If you follow I might be more likely to check in on you, but that's it.

If you're pissed off at a company you'd stop giving it your money, right? The government is run directly off your money. They spend your money every time they kill someone. All transportation, vacation, guns, bullets, supplies, all of it? Paid by you. Wanna see how a REAL boycott works? Stop paying.

For the fastest, very abridged #FilmSky version of what's gone wrong with humanity in the last few decades, I think viewing of these three movies in order would be the quickest summary:
Wag The Dog
Idiocracy
Don't Look Up
Obviously plenty more can be filled in, but this is a basic crash course.

Here's a quick summary: Pershing Square Capital Management. If you invest with them or have some sort of financial plan with them in it, withdraw or have your funds diverted from Pershing Square Capital Management.
A rumor spread online that the CEO or owner of Chipotle donated to the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good. That's not true — but here's who did donate: www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...
Did owner of Chipotle donate to ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good? No, but here's who did
Bill Ackman, who donated to a GoFundMe campaign for the agent, bought a 10% stake in Chipotle in 2017 but is now unaffiliated with the chain.

This is what a smart nation would do. Meanwhile we're attacking Venezuela for oil.
“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

In the amazing Christmas movie Scrooged, there's a scene where Bill Murray's character ends up in the sewer with a dead homeless man and he says "Where is this, Trump Tower?" Even back then (1988), even in comedic Christmas movies(!), they associated Trump with heartlessness, filth, and neglect.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.
Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

I don't pay much attention to commercials, but for awhile I've been hearing one where the vocalist is saying "I've got the drip" or something similar. I figured it's for an anti-venereal disease medication, and paid no mind. Turns out it's for Velveeta and now I associate Velveeta with gonorrhea.

@sammonson.bsky.social Why isn't Big Goofy on Bluesky? He seems affable enough. Certainly not like the type to willingly choose to help pad the net worth and clout of a multibillionaire White supremacist, at least.

Keep chipping away with no fear of personal loss, even that of life or liberty. Those are both being eroded by the regime anyway. It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
