Let's make one thing clear. There is no "win" for quips, memes, xitter posts or any of that bullshit

The only win is if 72,000,000+ Harris voters shut their wallets and purses and tank the fucking economy before Eloon and Motherfucker do.

You will own it then Motherfucker.

"Nine months ago when we gathered activists to scenario plan together, we took note of two knee-jerk tendencies from the left that ended up largely being dead-ends in the face of Trump:

Public angsting — posting outrage on social media, . . . "

Why give them something to blame besides themselves? (which they will do anyway)

I would rather see something more selective, like cancelling the WAPO subscriptions.

Easier to focus upon and less destructive to everyone. though as noted, the crash needs little help from any of us.

His stance on EV's (which he hates) will be interesting, eh?

It's like when the bankers marched up to Washington for a bail out from ruin (of their own causing)

WEARING DYNAMITE VESTS.

Be good to us, or else.

Gifts will be either:

1. Things I have already purchased.
2. Honorary gifts to animal & environmental charities
3. Second hand stuff from thrift stores and such.

No shopping for myself except necessities: food, meds, sundries.
No traveling.

My husband might be laid off soon, "warn notices" go out next week, and I work in higher ed, so I'll probably be jobless soon.
