I appreciate the sentiment of the boycott, but simply not making purchases on one day isn't changing anything. We need each find something we can stop purchasing at all, and keep that trend going.

okay everyone this is a hopelessness and helplessness checkpoint
If you are feeling hopeless &/or helpless know that it makes so much sense that you would be feeling that way right now! The first step is to validate yourself and your experience. You are not overreacting! You are not making this up.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
