    A few days of not buying anything might spark some action. I for one will not be buying anything on Feb. 28. Perhaps these buy nothing days can be repeated and extended?

      Protests, strikes, or boycotts with a planned end date are next to useless. You can do that if it makes you feel good. But don’t do it in place of real organizing. The best thing you can do now is organizing locally. Join your local PSL and support what they are doing.

      Yeah that’s a great point. Soon as I saw the companies at the Inauguration I deleted social media platforms owned by them and switched to DuckDuckGo/Firefox. Ive been on Linux Mint for some time.

      Protesting with our wallets and going against the whole consumerism culture of these oligarchs is definitely the way to go. :)
