#boycott

53 posts42 participants0 posts today

For everyone outside the #US—now is the time to #boycott #American products!

Some of their services and goods are hard to replace, and you don’t have to cut everything, but consider what you could stop using, buying, or replacing with a non-American alternative.

Start with some of their most well-known brands: Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Disney, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Netflix, Coca-Cola, Meta, Levi’s, and, of course, #Tesla.

We outnumber them by sheer numbers, so let's flood the streets, flood their mailboxes, flood their phones, withhold the money, walk out of jobs all at once, volunteer in free community help in whatever is needed.
Pick one and do it.

Democracy Now! · Elon Musk Fails in Attempt to Buy Wisconsin Supreme Court as Judge Susan Crawford Beats Brad SchimelBy Democracy Now!

Beneath the political theater, follow the economic incentives. Authoritarian movements have consistent financial backers across different countries. Targeting these economic pressure points through precision boycotts and shareholder activism created breakthrough moments for resistance movements from Montgomery to South Africa. #Boycott #Activism

"Target saw foot traffic fall for the eighth consecutive week, extending a losing streak that began just a few days after the company announced it would end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program in late January."

In Kanada und Dänemark entsteht so etwas wie ein US-Boykott. Nicht-amerikanische Produkte werden in Läden gekennzeichnet, damit man die US-Alternative einfacher findet. Mir wird eben bewusst, wie schwierig (unmöglich?) es für mich wäre, komplett auf US-Produkte zu verzichten. #usa #boycott Paywall:

Neue Zürcher Zeitung · Tesla ist erst der Anfang: Boykottieren wir bald Nike, Apple und Coca-Cola?By Moritz Kaufmann (mkf)

Standard Trump operation - don’t pay the contractors.
Blackmailing companies and contractors and changing the rules top avoid payment. I don’t know how many will give in to this blackmail, but it’s seem to be past time to stop doing any business with the USA. They are bad faith operators. If they succeed in this, they will have different rules the next time, and untilmately no one will ever get paid.
Countries need to be prepared to take action on behalf of their businesses and contractors, to protect their country’s laws and their country’s integrity from this.

I'm not gonna waste a lot of energy making an "if it bleeds, we can kill it" footnote on a bad pain day, but pursuant to the above post about boycotts, Elon Musk is upset enough about the movement to take down Tesla that he's still crying about it while trying to buy a state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin.

Elon Musk Says He Has No Clue Why People Hate His Guts

“In fact, it’s costing me a lot to be in this job,” Musk said. “You had Tim Walz dancing onstage showing a chart on Tesla stock, which is a really awful thing for him to do.”

On his tour of Republican districts, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had trotted out Tesla’s tanking stock, saying that watching Musk’s value plummet gave him “a little boost” during the day.

Musk seems to have taken Walz’s jab as fighting words, and claimed that people were trying to put “massive pressure” on him and Tesla, in an attempt to get him to stop DOGE. The billionaire bureaucrat added that it was a “big deal” that his Tesla stock “went roughly in half.”

“So, not only is it—I’m not getting paid, I’m definitely not stealing money and would never get away with it, but the value of my Tesla stock is in half! So this is a very expensive job, is what I’m saying,” Musk said.

Musk had previously whined about Walz’s Tesla teasing Thursday night, during an exclusive interview on Fox News, calling the vice presidential former candidate “a big jerk.”

“He was overjoyed,” Musk said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Who derives joy from that?”

The answer to Elon's question of course is that millions of people watching these fascist chucklefucks strip away their rights, loot the public coffers, and try to starve their grandparents with impunity, quite rationally seem to be deriving a lot of joy from seeing Musk finally suffer *some* consequences for his blatantly corrupt and authoritarian actions.

Again folks, I don't want to go too overboard here; boycotts and targeted protests hurt the fascist regime, but it's not going to make Trump surrender. By that same measure however, Musk wouldn't be crying about what a small innocent bean he is and why people are so cruel to him when he only wanted to transform America into Apartheid South Africa and a subsidiary of his companies, if this wasn't hurting him; after all, this is the same guy who spent his first two months as co-president sneering at you and waving around a chainsaw - something changed Musk's tone, and based on his squealing, that something is clearly the Tesla protests and boycott. I'm less interested in what Tim Walz has to say about it, but if Democrat politicians want to encourage people to boycott companies facilitating Trump's fascist regime, that would at least be making themselves useful for a change. The important point here is "if it bleeds, we can kill it" and Tesla is bleeding hard enough to make Musk moan in public about it for weeks now.

Just remember, if you can do it to the world's richest man and a company like Tesla, you can do it to any of these rich nazis and the corporations they control.

Today in Labor History March 31, 1966: There was a two-day boycott of Seattle schools protesting segregation. The protest was organized by the Central Area Civil Rights Committee (CACRC), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The organizers set up eight “Freedom Schools” to educate students who walked out of class. But they had to scramble to come up with dozens more because so many students honored the boycott. The “Freedom Schools” taught African American history and the history of the civil rights movement, among other things.
