We can move the needle on this boycott—big numbers, real impact. The only pushback I’ve heard? “But the MAGAts will get all the great deals.” If missing a minor TV upgrade breaks you, your priorities are broken. This isn’t about discounts. It’s about power. open.substack.com/pub/psychope...
🖤 Black Out Black Friday
Part of the national economic blackout: November 25–December 2, 2025. Seven days. No spending. No labor. No fuel for the machine.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.
He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.
Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

Whoa, kind of mind-blowing. The rocks above the end-Cretaceous mass extinction look different than the ones below it because of the ways that dinosaurs modified the environment. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

When the ground starts shaking, don’t panic like a CEO caught on the kiss cam. 👀 Take protective actions your HR director would approve of: Drop, Cover & Hold On. Unlike ducking out of frame at Coldplay, these steps actually protect you from harm—whether it’s falling debris or falling reputations.

It wasn't a one off.
As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month.
There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

Thank you @charlotteclymer.bsky.social . This was so well said and perhaps a necessary reminder to all of us.
Ron, I get that you're angry. I get that you want accountability. You probably want a little revenge. Probably a lot of revenge. But your comment is completely absurd. It's clownish. It's inhumane. You're better than this. And you should be better informed.

Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.
The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

@schumer.senate.gov WTF are you thinking?? We do NOT want you to vote yes on this! We will give $ to anyone but you to replace tou!
The Republicans' CR is basically a blank check for Trump and Musk to play Monopoly with federal funds, without specific spending directives from Congress.
It’s less a budget and more a power grab.
And Chuck Schumer wants to give up all leverage and vote for this?
HARD PASS.
