This could work! It always takes time for momentum to build, so when this movement is built, be sure that is taken into consideration. And demands should be very specific. Will there be a way to verify that businesses are complying? I don't want to start shopping Target, for instance, & then find out they are secretly donating to a Trump PAC!

Right now, here is something everyone can do. A bill passed the House funding ICE. It will be up for a vote in the Senate soon! WE THE PEOPLE can stop it there! Call your Senators &/or email them to demand that they vote no on this bill. Do this every day thru the end of the month. not just 1 day, every day! I personally dont want to reform ICE. I want to Defund, then Dissolve & then Prosecute. Let's do this Resisters!!!

I guess I don’t understand … Home Depot and Target can sign a strongly worded statement supporting our 4th Amendment rights while allowing ICE to stage operations violating those same rights at their stores? Target can roll back efforts to employ a diverse workforce and we just give them a pass? Amazon can continue to pump millions of dollars into trumps pockets and that helps support private concentration camps and we say “thank you so much for signing our statement” ?? What do these billionaire corporations actually have to do to regain access to our hard earned money and patronage???

Put Trump and friends in jail is a one part plan

I love this idea. I participated in the national blackout in November. I’m still making sure I buy at blue businesses compared to red I may have to go into Walmart for something but not like I used to so I feel like mine is only a little tiny dribble but if 7000 of us did it it would really make a difference and if 7 million wow so I’m all in it for whatever you say I’ll do it thank you so much for coming back in Nick. I missed you over the weekend.

I love 💕 love this. I cancelled Amazon this year but it is not enough to cancel these businesses.

Money walks, BS talks...

which is why the rest of the world is threating to dump bonds, solely due to DJT...

This guy is right. Let’s do it! Follow the money and there you will find the problem. Look out Wall Street.

We have some movement at the top. Looks like Kristi Noem is being thrown under the bus, as is Bovino and some of his lieutenants.

Let’s not forget Target supports ICE and allows them back door access to hunt immigrants. We need a comprehensive list of businesses that support ICE.

Follow the money. Blackout anyone you can who benefits from or supports fascists.
