So you want to bring down the global corporate oligarchy, do you?

This is a good starter article and we'll go from there:

Every dollar you spend has an impact. It can go towards our salvation... or towards our doom.

Stop funding the oligarchs!

Cancel your Prime subscription!

Shop local.

Know who you're doing business with. And what they believe in.

Fight with your wallet.

I was offering "in lieu of." I am all about reduce consumption as close to zero as possible.

Rebel Alliance California @rebelallianceca.bsky.social · 1d

Okay, we turned Disney around. Now for @m@z0n.

Cancel your Prime subscriptions.

Shop at Costco. They are on our side.

Instant purchasing gratification is not worth our Democracy.

Let's drop stock by a large enough percentage to cause Bozo heartburn...

And maybe, just maybe, a side change.

Axe Facebook.

The oligarchs are collecting every bit of information about you & will use it against you whenever they want, including knowing who you know, who you interact with & who your families are.

Boycotting worked with Disney.

Zuckerberg is next.

Today's task:

Find friends & family who are tuning out of the news & going about their normal lives.

Ask them to watch the film, "The Zone of Interest," about a family who goes about their lives next to a Nazi concentration camp.

Then ask them to pull their heads out.

No one is coming to save us from the oligarchs. The Armed Forces Shindig next week is terrifying. We need to stop giving them our money.

Buy Local.

Shop Costco instead of @m@z0n.

Join a credit union and use their credit cards.

Or pay cash.

Only We People can stop this.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing subscription cancellations have sent a strong KOWTOWING TO AUTHORITARIANISM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE message to Disney and we have to keep it going.

STOP FUNDING OUR DEMISE.

Boycott Amazon, Uline, Tesla, and Coors and others supporting the hateful, devisive Project 2025.

My new jam: a poster campaign aimed directly at the people & corporations responsible for pitting family & friends against each other.

If all they understand is money, we need to speak their language & stop funding our own destruction.

Bob says: GOP == CRIME @yd52.bsky.social · 19d

Indeed!
The ONLY thing that will save us:

The GOP CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE must DISCOVER loyalty to the Constitution-based rule of law

AND

REJECT the "CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE".

Loyalty to Constitution-based rule of law is loyalty to YOUR OWN LONG-TERM INTERESTS!

Toxic industries shouldn’t get a free pass. SB 131’s exemption for “advanced manufacturing” threatens groundwater & public health, especially in communities already burdened by pollution. Lawmakers must fix this. Read more from Deja McCauley via Maven’s Notebook.

SB 131 exempts highly polluting industries from environmental review and mitigation. It will have a devastating impact if the bill is not immediately fixed.

Contact state leaders Sen. McGuire and Assembly Speaker Rivas now to demand they #FixSB131 and protect our communities from toxic pollution.

Lawmakers are back in Sacramento.
Their 1st action should be to amend SB131.
This trailer bill allows advanced manufacturing projects and development on endangered species habitat to be approved WITHOUT environmental study.
