I want to be crystal clear: anyone who supports Trump or the Trump regime is a white supremacist. This includes all white people who are silent because you "don't want to upset people," or "aren't sure about the issue." I'm white, and I refuse to uphold this white supremacist culture. #Resist

I've been boycotting Starbucks for years because of exploitative practices & their support for Israel. My sincere hope is that the union can turn the company into one that does good, not harm. I stand with unions & Starbucks sucks #BoycottStarbucks apnews.com/article/star...

If there’s one area where I deeply sympathise with journalists, it’s the influencer behaviour of stealing their work and amplifying it while promoting anti-media narratives. That this has become a fully realised business model is so bleak.

Don't wait for primary season to tell elected officials how pissed off you are. Hit their puppetmasters in their wallets by joining the full spending blackout Nov 25-Dec 2. More info at @blackoutthesystem.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/kaycough...

This is a brilliant idea. What would elected officials do if truckloads of current health insurance & medical bills poured in to them, along with copies of all the premium increase notices? @blackoutthesystem.bsky.social Maybe we should do this during Blackout The System #Resist
People need to start sending their bills to their senators for THEM to pay!

Time to commit to the spending blackout Nov 25-Dec 2. See @blackoutthesystem.bsky.social for details and inspiration 🔥
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.
