Okay so now what? The one day no-buy is over.
The system loves symbolic victories. You celebrate & they keep collecting profits.
If you want to scare them, become anti-consumerist. Buy nothing but what you need. Stack cash & invest that in systemic shifts.
Build a new economy outside of the old

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
