We need to start a boycott here in the U.S. and not just Tesla. Companies are getting away with caving to Trump/Musk, because they can. But the most important thing to companies is their customer base. I don't know all the companies that are caving and those standing up to Trump and a single boycotter is not effective. We need a website (created by MeidasTouch?) that lists the companies that are caving on DEI, etc. and doing worse things along with those who are not caving. Remember the Bud Light boycott? Budweiser was not happy. We need to advertise the number of people supporting the boycotts. We need to go online and say we are supporting the boycotts. That's something easy all of us can do. I'm one of the ones that cancelled my subscriptions to the NYT and WaPo and lots of others did too. We also need to return to MSNBC (which I have done). Enough with pouting (which I did) and time to return to action and supporting those companies and media organizations that are doing the right thing.

If we know someone who was fired unfairly, we could help them out by making sure they have food. If you are financially able to help with bills, then do that. Don't let people suffer because they stood up to the evil ones, I want them to know they aren't alone.

Love your spunk! TO Medias suggestion on DEI is a great start. Keep up with suggestions Nancy. I cancelled Amazon membership, weakened and reopened. Will cancel today. Why don't you start a Resistance Substack?

You can do it. I cancelled my Prime membership and I will boycott anyone that supports tRump and his maga toadies. From now on, my shopping will begin with ‘Are you a tRump supporter?’ and if the answer is yes, I say bye. If no, I say BUY.

I am just a "bookish" university professor/engineer who never even did social media until after this election (one of the few people on Earth who never had a Facebook or Twitter account). I have no idea how to start a Substack. But I will work with and support others.

Look for the "Goods Unite Us" app in both Apple and Android. Use your dollars to support the businesses that support you are your values. It has been an amazing tool in divesting from maga funding companies.
