Outside of necessities (food), buy nothing until Trump repeals the tariffs. Why should WE pay for HIS mistakes?

No new clothes. No new cars. No luxury items or toys. No Amazon, no Walmart, no big box retailers or food chains (McDonalds, etc).

Hit Trump's billionaire backers where it hurts, in their wallet.

If you absolutely have to buy something, shop small and support local businesses.

I've seen a few comments here deriding "centrists", "liberals", "conservatives" and other ideological groups. To be frank, I think this kind of rhetoric is counterproductive. We should be willing to welcome anybody who wants to fight for democracy, the Constitution and rule of law (within reason, of course). That means it would be unwise to imply that these mainstream, widely-held ideologies have no positive aspects to them, and even more unwise to suggest that everyone who adheres to these ideologies should not be worked with. At a bare minimum, we need better reasons to criticize people than them simply not being as left-wing as some of us would like. Moreover, it's important to remember that very few people perfectly fit a particular ideological mold. Ultraconservative cartoonist Al Capp was a supporter of gay rights in the 1970s, while Bernie Sanders has repeatedly gone on record opposing open borders. We shouldn't be demanding ideological conformity, we should be actively recruiting anybody who thinks the Trump II administration is hurting democracy and wants to correct course. Now is not the time for purity tests. What it is time for is teamwork.

There is an old saying that the Devil doesn’t give gifts. It’s a motive to EVERYTHING this regime does. Elron isn’t going anywhere except behind the scenes. This announcement is another attempt at DISTRACTION! Their playbook is running thin. Now is not the time to run a victory lap. The protests and boycotting should increase if anything. It’s a ploy. He’s been a public liability. He has to move to the background because of it. We must stay united and focused. There will be many distractions along the way just like this, but like Wisconsin we see through it. Are we stopping? The answer is NO! Are we falling for it? The answer is NO! Say it with me NOPE NOT FALLING FOR IT!

Anywhere you see people discussing Cory Booker’s incredible 25 hour record breaking speech, take it as an opportunity to inform them about the National Protest on 4/5.

“25 hours proved one voice can shake the senate. Imagine what millions can do.”

“Booker stood for 25 hours to prove the people are more powerful. Now, it’s our turn.”

Etc etc etc

1. Susan Crawford won the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race and Edolf wasted $25M.

2. Cory Booker beat the filibuster length record and protested the administration by going off for over 25 hours. Call him and thank him!! You can call any senator or rep at (202) 224-3121 and ask for them by name.
