One last thing- absolutely no judgement for anyone who has to shop at Walmart, especially in towns with few options, or because of disabilities, etc. This is about doing what we CAN, and pushing our comfort levels as far as we CAN while knowing not everyone is able. Those of us who can, should. 4/4
🔹using my library and Libby account for books way more (may have to be patient on the wait time for popular books)
🔹shopping at local Indie book stores for any books I really want and don’t want to wait for the library
What else guys? Drop your ideas! #EconomicBlackout2025

🔹I’ve started shopping way more at thrift stores and have been surprised at what I find!
🔹ALDI for groceries (DEI✅)
🔹smaller grocers instead of big chains when possible
🔹small businesses for gifts instead of Amazon
2/4
Who is planning to keep up the #EconomicBlackout2025 after today if they’re able? I’m brainstorming ways to continue to get what we need without benefiting mega corporations.
🔹I have an amazing Buy Nothing group in my neighborhood which is very generous. They’re all over the USA. Give & receive!

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
It really is this simple.
I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social
People are getting up off the mat.
So this seems disappointing! I hope BlueSky can become a little more interactive 😓
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
Let me get this straight: RFK Jr.’s idea of fixing his ethics issues is to hand his stake over to his son? The son who works at the same law firm that RFK Jr. made millions off of?
RFK Jr.'s nomination should not move forward one inch until we get answers.
BlueSky, I don’t quite get it. Over on Threads I have barely 250 followers but a ton of engagement. Here, we have follow lists and packs and tons of followers, but what seems like zero engagement. What am I missing? #blueskynewby

When Bo Burnham said “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” he really meant that. 😖 #FDT

Holy forking SHIRTBALLS 🤬
Dear Mitch McConnell,
I want you to know, before you shuffle off this mortal coil, that you are the single person who bears the most blame for the ongoing destruction of the United States Government. You knew better. You did it anyway.
Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?
At what point do we start calling what Elon Musk is doing inside our government a coup
One thing has been made clear in the past two weeks: Americans are not safe with Donald Trump in charge.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS:
The Pentagon has informed the press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will “rotate out of the building” to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, and OANN.
This is awful.
Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target.

Oh.
The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Why the fuck did we have a Revolutionary War if we’re back to having a monarchy??
Trump Fascist Coup has escalated to Establish Dictatorial Rule over America. Trump's henchmen are actively purging hundreds from FBI & Justice Department Trump deems disloyal to Establishing a Dictatorship.
Americans who love our Democracy must stand with the FBI & take to the streets if needed.
Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.
they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.
Remember when we could log in to any social media after a tragedy or concerning event and see actual reassurance from the President that the people in charge cared and were on top of it? Remember when it wasn’t the people in charge CAUSING the chaos and calamity and tragedy? That was nice. #fotus
