While I'm not much for the law, I recognize that not everyone I talk to thinks the same way. But even if you are like me, the enormity of the list of Trump's crimes is just staggering. There really couldn't be any more clear of an illustration of the fact that there are two legal systems: one for the elite, and one for everyone else.
We all know #Trump just does crimes all the time, but it can be hard to track the enormity of it. The YouTube lawyer LegalEagle put together a list and it's pretty incredible. It's a little over 40 minutes of him rapidly listing times that Trump has violated the law during his second term (completely ignoring his first term).

No matter who you are, if you are more offended by the abuse or the lawlessness of it, this list should enrage you. Perhaps it may even overwhelm you. You want to do something, but you feel helpless at the scale of the horrible things.
But there is something you can do. You may know I'm about to say.
#MassBlackout is a #Boycott of the American corporations that support the dictatorship. By showing
that people have the power to shut down the economy if elites don't listen, we can hit them where it actually hurts.From now until December 2nd, do as many of these things as you can:
- Stop online or in-store shopping (except for small businesses)
- Stop work
- Stop streaming, cancel subscriptions, no digital purchasesThis is one of the few times that boosting stuff on social media and doing nothing else actually *can* make a difference. Boost posts tagged with #WeAintBuyingIt, #MassBlackout, and #BlackOutTheSystem. Make sure everyone you know knows about it. Hold each other accountable to keep from spending. You may already not be spending because.... well,.. Trump has already made everything too expensive. The thing is that elites can't actually tell the difference. Spreading word, making the protest seem as big and impactful as possible is all that's really needed to fracture elites and turn them against each other. Boost, write your own post, make these tags trend on every platform you can, then do nothing.
Don't buy things, (if you can) don't work. Just stop. Refuse to participate in capitalism. This is the ultimate "fuck you, make me" because they absolutely can't make you. This is the ultimate reminder of where power actually comes from.
I've been trying to remind everyone, every day. Please do the same. Keep this opportunity at the top of everyone's mind. Keep it in your mind.
Trump is more vulnerable now than he's ever been, and there is no time in the next year that we have more power than right now. This is one of the most important parts of the year for the US economy. What you do, or don't do, right now has more of an impact than any other time.

#WeAintBuyingIt from Home Depot, Amazon and Target, and we really need alternatives for the long run.
https://bookshop.org and https://libro.fm have got you covered for books, ebooks and audiobooks AND work to support local bookshops.
What are your favorite alternatives, online or local?

Fascism has arrived in the US. Here's a video of a (liberal) lawyer just straight up saying the courts won't save you.

If you're outside the US, (continue to) boycott American products (if the tariffs haven't already taken care of that) until the regime falls. Cancel all American streaming services, and any other American tech you can. If you're stuck on American tech, spend some time to look for local alternatives.
It turns out the world is more interconnected than capitalists would like you to believe, and we all actually have the power to change things. It's time to prove it.

I'm participating in #WeAintBuyingIt, and I'm grateful to have lots of options for independent, locally-owned stores when I need to get something. (I recognize that not everyone has this privilege.)
For instance: I plan to do some indigo dyeing on Sunday (first time! wish me luck!), and I need to get 5-gallon buckets. Thankfully there's a great hardware store nearby that is a certified small business with the State of California. 💪

@cwicseolfor I was in diapers and a stroller when mom and grandma picketed the stores in downtown LA and Hollywood because they banned Blacks and Latinos from shopping there.
And I still recall being turned away from Breakfast with Santa at those same stores,even though we had reservations.
Trump has returned us TO that.
That's why #WeAintBuyingIt

“Dear retailers who’ve decided you don’t like diversity, equity, and inclusion, or you really love ICE and you have no problem with them busting into your establishments to drag people away: Here’s the thing. We ain’t buying it. I mean, for real, for real, we ain’t buyin’ it.”
Hit pause on shopping from Target, Amazon, and Home Depot.

“We’re gonna spend our money with businesses who actually respect our dollars, respect our communities, and respect our diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are going to buy from people who respect immigrants, who respect immigrants’ rights, and respect freedom and liberty. We are going to buy from establishments that respect our right to vote and our right to live in a free society. And if you ain’t that, we ain’t buying it.”

"Last week, a poll conducted for Global EV Alliance, made up of electric vehicle driver associations around the world, found that 52% of Americans would avoid buying a Tesla for political reasons."
Then she notes the effectiveness of the campaign to cancel subscriptions with Disney+ and Hulu when Jimmy Kimmel was suspended.
She quotes Joy-Ann Reid in an Instagram video:
