Good work, Nicole, that saves me work to compile that list.

As with Europe and #Russia's war in #Ukraine, we should stop funding the #Fascists:
No oil or (liquid) gas from Russia--no purchases from companies where these funders of the #MAGA/ #TrumpCoup hold a share of 20% or more*.

The list will be hard to compile, but even harder to boycott by all of us.
We need to at least try to

#DefundTheBillionaires and eventually #AbolishBillionaires.

We'd *all* better make haste, 👉the #Fascist takeover plan, #Project2025, is already 47% completed:👈

"Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real...after just nine months, it’s already 47% complete.

Trump’s shutdown is not some random political tantrum. It’s a shortcut. The plan is simple: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, + replace them with loyalists... "
