No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No apple. No visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power to
Economic blackout tomorrow

I am a racist who inherited an emerald mine from my daddy. I invented nothing.
Thursday February 28th - economic blackout. Don’t buy anything- only essentials. Don’t use credit or debit cards- use cash. Don’t buy anything from big corporations (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc). Spread the message.
This shit doesn’t happen in France, and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in charge get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the power. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.
Economic blackout Friday February 28th. Buy nothing for 24 hours.
The GOP’s Save Act would require a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, 69M married women will not match their birth certificate. That tracks with the GOO’s goal of stripping women of the right to vote
Protect our votes! Save fair elections. NO to Save Act. Subpoena new archivist.

Elon has access to your social security number. Why does he want it? We don’t know. Call your member of congress and demand answers. (202) 224-3121

More Americans voted for someone other than Trump. Not a landslide. Not a mandate.
The SAVE Act is a solution in search of a problem. There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud & states have systems in place to prevent noncitizens from voting. This is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to suppress votes & maintain the GOP's grip on power. #StopTheSAVEAct
BREAKING: The House GOP made it official: the SAVE Act is a top priority. But here's the thing: nearly 1 in 10 voting-age Americans can't easily prove their citizenship. This bill isn't about election integrity - it's about suppressing votes & maintaining power. #StopTheSAVEAct
Thank a democrat for things like workers rights, civil rights, affordable care act, women’s right to vote and more.
Elon Musk stopped paying into Social Security on January 1st at 12.15AM. Thanks to the Social Security tax cap, the rest of his earnings for the year won’t be taxed. Remember this when DOGE suggests cutting Social Security benefits for millions of seniors, the disabled and survivors.
100 hour inauguration blackout. Do not watch, read, listen or engage. No tv/cable, no radio/podcasts, no social media. Begins January 20th 8am EST
All public schools should be funded to ensure teachers earn at least $70k, students receive free lunch and breakfast, and that books and technology are fully stocked and up to date. I would gladly sacrifice tax breaks for the ultra-rich to make this happen.
If you are an American, your heritage is either Native American, slave, refugee or immigrant. That’s it.
