When my son and DIL were shopping for an EV, they specifically avoided Tesla, and this was before the election, but after he took over Twitter. I've never been on Twitter/X, never even sat in a Tesla, and wouldn't get in a SpaceX rocket if you paid me! I refuse to even set foot in Walmart, Chick-fil-a, or Hobby Lobby.

Since last month (has it only been a month?) I have also canceled my Prime account and stopped shopping at Amazon and Whole Foods (that one hurts!). Trader Joe's is getting more of my business, and I even created a Nook account so I can buy my e-books from Barnes & Noble instead of Amazon. Target is another matter, though. There are some things I do require that I can only buy there. I will stay out of stores on Feb 28, maybe grab a latte at my locally owned coffee shop.

“ Citizens who are denouncing Elon Musk’s DOGE spending cuts and the Nazism and fascism in the new administration. (Just typing that made me feel a little sick.)” Just reading that makes me feel sick. 💔

Thanks for reminding us, mate! 💜 Fridays are often a Dunkin latte day for me (because, Friday). It won't be that day. And I'm not going to go there the day before or day after, just to make up for it. Nope. Skipping the Friday latte altogether. (As well as any other purchase.)

I will not shop on the 28th. I worry that everyone posting about it will cause the MAGA’s to shop more. But we have to try!!

My question is how does all this shit just keep on happening?? And Why?? I think sooner or later the marriage of 🎃& the musk dude are gonna have a serious fallout. Musk will turn on 🎃and he'll tell all the dirty secrets he knows and hopefully it'll be enough to oust 🎃. That's my thoughts I'm going to speak into existence ✨️ 😌 every night
