Yeah, this is it. It's nuts that we use taxpayer money to pay huge profitable corporations to destroy civilisation.
I wish someone would line up A) how much each oil company has gotten in subsidies, and B) how much they have paid out in climate disinfo/denial.

Love this tactic! Great expression of the broader non-cooperation strategy to show all the corporate enablers of the regime that we will hold them accountable for their complicity with racism and authoritarianism. #WeAintBuyingIt #NoKings #AbolishICE
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.

FYI: As a person who does social change narrative work, I always recommend not replicating the label "techno-optimism" and instead calling it "techno-salvationism" since that helps audiences see the way this ideology is increasingly being used to bypass material reality.

Important 🧵 explaining the #WeAintBuyingIt strategy for targeting three big corporations complicit in the Trump regime's authoritarianism, particularly the hilarious tactic of disrupting Home Depot by making small symbolic purchases en mass and then returning them. #NoKings #AbolishICE
We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.
Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵
