We were thinking a day or a week would be enough to get the message across. But cowardly Dems are about to cave for nothing. And Johnson has no plans to open the House.
Those with plenty or even a little extra, find ways to those who are hurting. (Food banks. Really)
Besides that, shut it down.
After the massive success of #NoKingsDay, folks have asked, what's the next step? Here's one of the ideas. Instead of #BlackFriday we go a #BlackoutWeek an #EconomicBlackout Turn #BuyNothingDay into #BuyNothingWeek
Get your essentials the week before. Buy local, farmers' markets. Starve the beast.

Don't Hesitate

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,
don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty
of lives and whole towns destroyed or about
to be.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

No money for politicians.
No money for big corporations.
Make this coming #BlackFriday one they they will not forget.
Shop local. Shop small business. Give to food banks. They have the best connections and can make that dollar go the furthest. Seriously. One dollar can buy 4 to 10 meals.

The USDA ordered states that had issued full November SNAP benefits to "immediately undo" the distributions.
In effect, if you have eaten, give it back.
As an alternative, you can redistribute your excreta directly to:

Hi. American here. Forget what any "official" account says.
Stay the hell away from the USA!!!
It's interesting how, despite the ICE raids and street-level round-ups and entire air travel *waves hands* situation, the Australian government's travel advisory for the USA is still "green".

While Schumer gave in to the GOP to preserve donor money, our friends in Ukraine continue to live despite efforts by Russia to beat it down.
Want to guess who I'm a bigger fan of?
Slava Ukraini!
Greetings from Kyiv,
where the night was mostly calm,
but with minimal electricity at home.

russians want to demoralise us before winter.
We? Live. Work. Create. Resist.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?
