Boycott Black Friday (& Cyber Monday too!)
The oligarch owners of the major corporations — the top 0.1% that own 90% of everything — are supporting and enabling the rise of fascism in America.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

Civil society has to hold together and pull forward until the Democratic Party changes. It makes no sense to wait for the Democrats as a party. What makes sense is shifting the ground underneath them.
From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Yes, money donations go farther in this context.
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

An article in the Daily Beast notes the changes he has made to the Oval Office, like bringing in a George Washington painting, a bust of Winston Churchill and this noteworthy addition to the Resolute desk a button he can press when he wants a Diet Coke brought to him. Why not an IV?

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

Seattle Children’s is laying off over 150 staff and slashing hundreds of open positions. Why? Because of Trump and the Republicans' health care cuts. Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over care for our kids. This is Trump’s America.
