Boycott -- all companies that enabled T, contributed huge amounts to his coffers/inauguration etc. All those companies who 'obeyed in advance' dropping DEI -- go with Costco, local farmer, your local csa, local companies for other goods and services. Go Duck Duck go, instead of Google etc.

2) Separate fear from fact;
3) Distinguish performative outrage from actual work/real solidarity;
4) Stay connected to who & what we love. Even more.

Another reason to do no business with Amazon, Whole Foods or anything that lines Bezos pockets. Enough.
