America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting
- Participate or organize boycotts of companies that are enabling the Trump regime, starting with Elon Musk’s X and Tesla, and any companies that advertise on X or on Fox News
Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of consumer boycotts. Corporations invest heavily in their brand names and the goodwill associated with them. Loud, boisterous, attention-getting boycotts can harm brand names and reduce the prices of corporations’ shares of stock.
I'd take the Fox News piece a bit further and start boycotting sites like YouTube TV unless they put it on a pay tier. There are hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of people subsidizing Fox News through their streaming/cable subscriptions who have no intention of ever watching it.
This song summarizes perfectly why we now live under fascism:
Fascism will not go away until the people who wanted it understand what they got. The most important thing you can do to resist fascism is talk to your MAGA friend and family to make them understand by themselves the magnitude of the catastrophe they unleashed.
Fascists don't end censorship. Biden and Dems are truly fascists trump may be also but in different ways.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalistpolitical ideology and movement,[1][2][3]characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nationor race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy
Dems are fascists? The ones you call "antifa" because they oppose your fascist beliefs? You really have no idea what any of these words mean, do you?
Isn't he the father of comedy media mogul Sam Reich??? How can we be sure this wasn't written at the behest of big comedy?
The guy from Massachusetts??
Anyone know of a list of current Fox sponsors? X sponsors, etc.?
From the article, thing #6:
Spread the truth
Get news through reliable sources, and spread it. If you hear anyone spreading lies and Trump propaganda, including local media, contradict them with facts and their sources.
Here are some of the sources I currently rely on for the truth: the Guardian, Democracy Now, Business Insider, the New Yorker, the American Prospect, Americans for Tax Fairness, the Economic Policy Institute, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, ProPublica, Labor Notes, the Lever, Popular Information, Heather Cox Richardson and, of course, my Substack.
See article for links. Interesting that none of the US's newspapers of record make his list...
