He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

🧵Quick update on the impact of the 2/28 #EconomicBlackout

I find Forbes increasingly hard (physically!) to read, with all the popups & ads, so this is a thread with main takeaways.

"On blackout day, Target website visitors dropped 9% compared to Friday, Feb. 14, from 5.2 million to 4.7 million.>>>
Target Loses Web Traffic As Costco Gains On Feb. 28 Economic Blackout Day

I just cannot handle middle class white people telling me they are giving up because they're tired.

I'm an Indigenous woman who grew up in poverty, whose family is still poor, who has lost so much of my family to suicide and addiction.

I am tired. We are all tired. Some of us don't get to opt out.

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...
