Thanks for this thread! I needed it today!

Men are shifting right because Republicans are making their lives worse and telling them to blame women and immigrants.

Democrats should be pointing out this *extremely obvious* dynamic, not trying to peddle a lighter version of the same narrative.

No Michael’s near you?

I was just talking to my brother about this. We think that a nationwide economic blackout should occur every week: No Buy Fridays. Most people get paid on Fridays and spend more than any other day of the week. Let's stop doing that, barring necessities. Practice adjusting spending #economicblackout

If we got them to lower prices, I would count that as a win! Even though ultimately I want systemic change.

I am not buying anything today, but I think this needs to be a sustained effort!! We should have an economic blackout every Wednesday!! We need to create momentum so many others can join in. They can show up by not showing up! It can be a quiet act, but have a huge impact

What I’ve seen is small businesses are ok - pay cash! Plus essentials are excluded from the blackout :)

That was my first reaction, but then I thought, even one day can be a start. It gets people thinking about, how can I change my habits to avoid supporting all these giant corps? And realizing the extent to which we prop them up. Maybe it’s the beginning of something.

That is the point. If we had time to think, there’s no way we’d put up with this sh*t.

Yuck! Here it is. Lmk what you think. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This reminds me of a paper I just read on how key tenets of evolutionary theory were inspired by capitalism, NOT the other way around 😱. But it’s still largely understood to be the reverse, rendering the widespread the cooperation & mutualism in nature nearly invisible to most people. Maddening!

Omg thank you!!
