Here are 100 East San Diego County patriots at Rep. Darrell Issa's office. His staff would not open the door to speak to any of us. We could see they were in the office. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fJrmBSekK9P6hG4V9

We live in a rural small town in West Tennessee. Most of the people in town are excited about not buying anything tomorrow. People are reminding each other to get any groceries or gas to get it today. It’s crossing racial and economic boundaries. People are almost giddy about it. We’re standing up together and fighting for each other.

Go West Tenn!

So happy to see this! We all need to see ways of resisting.

I attended a protest in Pittsburgh on Sunday. We had over 500 people there. I handed out buttons that said RESIST in large, friendly letters.

I still have the button that says "DON'T PANIC!" in large, friendly letters...

I read all five books in the trilogy and I have the Apple II version of the game. It's complete and unused...button, peril-sensitive sunglasses, pocket fluff, microscopic space fleet, destruction orders in Vogon and (most importantly) NO TEA!!

In January I DELETED my Facebook, Threads and Amazon accounts, and I’m here to tell you that it ain’t that bad (sorry, I’m holding on to IG for now because I have to keep in touch with distant friends somehow). I’ve switched to DuckDuckGo for my search engine (and for added privacy), and if there is something I can’t find locally I just search for it online then select the best option that is not Amazon. Many other vendors offer the free shipping that brought me to Amazon in the first place. Another advantage is that I’m spending less on online purchases, because I no longer go to the quick fix Amazon for my everyday shopping needs!

ALL - please support tomorrow’s ECONOMIC BOYCOTT; don’t BUY anything on Fri Feb 28.

Following are the companies that took the first opportunity to ditch their commitment to diversity/inclusiveness in the workplace: Amazon, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Lowe’s, Coors, McDonald’s, Meta, Nissan, Toyota, Stanley Black & Decker, Target, Tractor Supply, Walmart.

I would definitely like a complete list of these companies. I have already changed my grocer, Walmart.

Seems many I know are jazzed about not spending anything corporate related, not using credit cards tomorrow. Let's expand this and even reduce our spending and debt. Personally, I've long been a paid reader of the WPost, but considering seriously to leave it after Bezos' latest with the editorial staff. Others?

I cancelled my WP subscription back in November. I canceled NY Times when Krugman left.

Love this! We need to be able to be able to see the resistance in order to keep going!

I'm flying an upside down American flag on my porch. EVERYONE should do that!

Love seeing all the folks across the country taking a stand. Let's grow the resistance! (We're protesting every Wednesday in Santa Fe at the capitol building. 1-2pm.)

In one of The Washington Post's last gasps before total Bezos control, they actually have an article covering the economic blackout (https://archive.ph/MKNm6). At the same time they reporting another brick-and-mortar store (Jo-Ann) killed by Amazon.

I posted this in another thread too, but April 19 (a Saturday), just 50 days from today, is the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord and "the shot heard 'round the world." What a great symbolic date to see thousands of Americans marching in protest against our self-proclaimed “king.”

There were about 100 of us protesting this morning at the Tesla showroom in Tysons Corner, VA. (If I could figure out how to post a picture here, I would. Any suggestions, fellow Contrarians?) Lots of honking cars and thumbs up passing by.
