Protest with your pocketbook. January 20th, the 1st of many walk-outs. Don't go to work, don't buy gas, don't spend a dime. Only use what is necessary; heat, water. Go for a walk, read a book, play board games, it's free. Take our country back from the billionaires.

If you are in the affected California fires area, excellent advice!
Keep your pets in to ensure their safety from wildlife fleeing the fires!
Keep buckets of water out for them.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
