It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky
(next to a crossed out Home Depot logo) “Home Depot has allowed its parking lots to become ground zero for ICE raids on immigrant day laborers, and its billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus has funneled millions into Trump's campaigns.” (next to a crossed out Target logo) “Target, which once branded itself as the friendly, inclusive big-box store, has now scrapped its DEl goals and scaled back LGBTQ+ offerings to avoid angering the regime.” (next to a crossed out Amazon logo) “Amazon didn't just shower Trump's inauguration with cash -- Jeff Bezos' company pitched facial-recognition tools to ICE and powers the Palantir systems ICE uses to track and deport immigrants, making Amazon a core contractor for the regime's deportation machine.”

Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=i...
(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

North Carolina is the latest GOP-controlled state to announce it will gerrymander its congressional map to please Trump after he called for red-state legislatures to “fix” congressional maps before 2026.

The term 'gerrymander' is derived from the name of Gov. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts.

In 1812, his administration enacted a law defining new state senatorial districts.

WATCH: “They’re using magic math.”

Senator Patty Murray says Republicans never cared about the debt, they only care about trillions in tax cuts for the rich.

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “Shocking how bad this bill is: - 17 million would lose health care - 30% higher electricity costs - Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed - Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans - $4 trillion in deficits - $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who'll listen”

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Burgess Everett on Bluesky: “Sen. Jim Justice says he will vote YES to proceed on the reconciliation bill. Sen. Hawley says he can't say how he'll vote until he sees text but likes the delay on the provider tax. But he says without Tillis's vote "the math is kind of hard"”

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
