Blackout Friday! Trump, you are fired! Republicans have abandoned the people. Democracy won't fall on our watch. The rich are all in! So now we are too.

Excellent idea - I support doing it once a week on the same day! More and more people will find out about the boycott over time and people will get into the habit of doing it!

Today was just a test to see if enough people would participate. Further boycott days are being scheduled, and they will be longer than 1 day.

I’m all for doing blackouts more often so that more and more people get involved. I went a step further and canceled my Amazon prime account and I let them know exactly why I did it.

Daniel ty for sharing this. I read it and am going ton comment that consider including the need for mental health experts to assist our political leaders with this effort. Are you familiar with Dr. Bandy X Lee Yale Psychiatrist? If not please consider checking out her substack. Her article posted yesterday is a good recap of her efforts and work.

Dr. Bandy Lee is an excellent psychologist and have made a number of podcasts together with Anthony Davis before the election. She also gathered a number of esteemed psychologists and psychiatrists to make a letter/warning to the SCOTUS regarding the immunity bid from Trump.
