Are you taking any actions to protest what is happening in the country right now, with Pres. Musk and Trump?

[Amy10223]

I have been doing a number of things along with people I know, to show our government, Musk, Trump, Jeff Bezos and all the billionaires getting rich on the poor and middle class, that we are not happy with what is going on; namely, the firing of thousands of Federal employees, social security and Medicare, Medicaid, being on the chopping block, the 25% and more tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and other foreign countries, and so on. Here is what I am doing:
1. There is an app called Goods Unite Us that I downloaded on my cell --that lists in alpha order which businesses, along with restaurants and stores gear to Republican or Democrats. The ones that are deemed ok, or safe to buy from are listed, and who they give most of their donations to.

2. No more Amazon, Prime Video, Target, and Walmart. I am boycotting all those, and closed out my Amazon account. I am buying groceries at Mexican and Asian grocery stores and supermarkets. I am buying from small businesses, online and also Black owned businesses.

3. I have joined The People's Union online. Their president is now well known by many, and he organizes marches and boycotts of stores and businesses on several days of the month where we do not buy anything from them. They need our money--they not getting it.

4. On Nextdoor. com, I have joined a group that talks about what we can do to prevent our government to have any influence on us, and share our Senators names so that we can write them daily and flood their emails, call them, leave messages, on what we are not happy about the current administration.

5. I have joined an organization called Hands-Off, which holds marches in my state's capitol. That is--peaceful marches. Not violent ones like we had on Jan 6th.

YES!! The Tesla protests have been 🔥 (it's punny, c'mon!)

I joined Better Angels to keep dialogues open with MAGAs.

There's much work to be done!

I am writing on political blogs complaining that rogue district judges are attempting to usurp President Trump's executive powers. I have strongly recommended to the Trump Administration that he refuse to comply with these court orders unless and until they have been at least heard by the Supreme Court. And even then if they decide against him he has to decide whether or not to comply. Because according to article two section 1 clause one of the constitution no one else has any authority over the executive branch except the president. Especially not rogue district judges

I can't boycott Amazon, I rarely leave my house, that's how I get anything but food. I get food on Instacart (Schnucks).

[Amy10223]

Can you get those things you get on Amazon elsewhere? I get books from ThriftBooks. com. Much cheaper. You can order new or used books. All other things you can order from smaller businesses online. Don’t support that billionaire!

[Amy10223]

PS instant charges $10.00 for delivery. Some stores such as Aldi or Meijer charge 5.99 or so.

[Amy10223]

Kroger also charges less, depending on when you have it delivered.

[Twalli]

I don't really need any more books, although I only read them on Kindle, so getting them elsewhere may be a problem. I know what to get on Instacart, because it's easy to read the ingredients, which is important, due to my allergies. If I change stores, I have to look at the ingredients for replacements, and may not be able to get anything, if they have ingredients I'm allergic to.

There is a protest against Tesla next Saturday and I plan on driving by the Tesla dealership in the next town to counter protest.

[supercutebutt]

Oh wow. So the Nazi community is staging a counter protest. Will you do the tiki torch thing?

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt No, I am going to take plenty of pictures to send to the FBI.

[supercutebutt]

You are gonna send them to the deep state? Oh wow.

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt The new FBI.

[Amy10223]

Why don't you take pictures of what is happening at the Krome Facility in Miami while you are at it? Look at the people there who are dying with no water, no food, and no medical attention. Do something good for a change.

[exitseven]

I live pretty far away from that. There is a Tesla dealership in the next town. It is actually across the street from a restaurant I go to a lot.
Truthfully I do not expect anything to happen. I live in a real moonbat state but there are a few towns that voted for Trump and I live in one of them, The Teala dealership is in another one.

[SmokinAces2000]

there's no point. Their supporters are too far gone

[Amy10223]

Never too late if we all make a collective effort. Target has already reported a loss of I don’t know how many millions. Numbers add up!

[AviatorTom]

Nope, no further comment. Change is not the end of the world.

[Anonymous]

I have been spreading facts since before the election.

Are you for or against people on social security not having to pay taxes on their income?

[Amy10223]

Are you aware that some states don’t tax social security? Personally I feel you should not be taxed on money you earned and was put away for you while working, when you have paid taxes already.
Why don’t you answer the question instead of answering with another question?

[Opinion Owner]

Why don't you have the guts to ask a question on your own thread? You're in no position to demand anything from me.

[Amy10223]

This IS my own thread, idiot.

[Ariesman81]

No!!! Don't do it. We love bigger government! Spend spend spend!!!

[Fireguy17]

good for you.
Your mother must be so proud!

[Amy10223]

My mothers in Heaven. She wouldn’t be able to stay at the nursing home were she alive today. She had Alzheimer’s. They would have cut her benefits.

[Fireguy17]

she is still looking down at you, just like my mom does to me.
