#WeAintBuyingIt — the giants don’t just sell products — they sell compliance. While they fund the policies that deport, fire, and starve, we’re refusing to fund them back.

And after Rubio specifically told a group of Senators that it was Russia’s plan

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
