Why not both? Local boycotts, global opt-outs.

And everything in between.

Until the people literally shut down the entire economy, the administration won't be stopped. Only money talks to the ghouls.

Stop everything: grocery store workers should walk off the job, and we should organize blockades on the distribution centers that feed Safeway and Walmart.

And blockade the ports: truck drivers should park on the railroad tracks, throw their keys in a ditch and walk off to join the protests.

Small business owners should lay off their employees, send them to get unemployment, and stand on the picket lines. A general strike must be completely unlimited, everyone must bear the cost so that the cost becomes unbearable to the powers that be.

There are more of us than there are of them. Rise!

Perhaps because I'm Australian but it's seems notable that despite almost 50 years of near daily use of the internet I literally don't have any of the subscriptions listed here nor directly use any of these services (unless physical mail I post to the US ends up routed through FedEx or UPS).

Correction: I do have several gmail accounts used for various low key traffic.

> A targeted boycott starting on Sunday and lasting the entire month of February could move markets, he says, which would, in turn, affect the CEOs who have the ear of President Donald Trump.

This is the issue that brought Trump to power. He jumped ahead of the other GOP primary candidates in 2015 by promoting just what ICE is doing now, and has led the whole party ever since. He is clearly very aware of that. The idea that he will toss that aside due to a bad month of business for some of his allies is dubious.

If this works it does so by budging independent voters, not Trump.
