HoosLeft w/ Scott Aaron RogersDo No Kings protests make a difference. Dr. Rob Stone says they're a great first step and Maria Douglas takes it one further, saying we need to disrupt the economy to make a real difference.
OccuWorldA Society Governed by Whiny Rich People Throwing Tantrums

Every time we want to change society to benefit average people, we have to deal with ultrawealthy crybabies. We’re held hostage by those who already have it all. It doesn’t have to be like this…

jon zellwegerMom and Pop do not live on #WallStreet. #StarvetheBeast does not work. #Communityinvestment is a moral and ethical cornerstone and we’ve forgotten how to champion an appropriate contribution from those that have benefitted the most from how this system works. 6/7
I oppose this #bill because of the punitive nature and how much it adds to the #federal #deficit over time. The projections on private sector investment to juice the economy is just that: projections. We now have decades of evidence that #StarvetheBeast does not work. 2/7
UNITE THE LEFT: AGAINST FASCISM & HATERemember folks,
Don't #Boycott.... #Boycutt ✂️.
Kick the bad #corporate actors in the #ProfitMargins. Patronize small #local #businesses first and then non #MAGA supporting #corporations like:
#Costco #Kroger #Winco in the #PNW, etc. Together we can #StarveTheBeast.

I HOPE they don’t think that Trump will fix all these USPS problems when, in fact, he caused them in the first place (oh DeJoy!).
The USPS in our very RICH ZIP code (I'm in the slums of it, trust me) has been a cluster fuck for years now, so MUCH worse since DeJoy took over.
JoeChipExercise your imagination to figure out creative ways to #StarveTheBeast.
And fer crissakes turn off CNN and MSNBC. Develop alternate sources of information. Cultivate reliable independent journalists/outlets. Develop networks of like-minded people.

5) Save if you can. Old-fashioned savings bonds $25
6) Shop locally owned biz. Keep out of chains.
7) Shop co-ops and local markets.
8) Prepare food from staple ingredients.
9) Keep that car parked! Adopt the WWII principle "is this trip really necessary?"
10) Grow a garden, even a small one.

hyperjeffi wonder if we’ll start to see artists no longer making any use of digital formats for their works or distribution, even in low-resolution form, due to ai. perhaps one could start a #starvethebeast movement.
