Our research shows: the resistance is alive and well | Erica Chenoweth, Jeremy Pressman and Soha Hammam Street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest

Are we doing any good?

I'd rather be writing but losing your democracy kinda puts that on the back burner.
One week boycott of Amazon, which lost $6B last month, starts tomorrow? No problem:

SHOW THEM WE WANT OUR DEMOCRACY!
ALSO for the 28th: Take out cash for spending, espec. on the 28th, if you need to shop local or buy meds, for instance.
A credit card for local/indie purchases still gives BIG Finance 3% of the purchase. We need to reduce their profits that day. CASH the 28th!

ALSO for the 29th: Take out cash for spending, especially on the 28th, even if you need to shop local or buy meds, for instance.
A credit card for local/indie purchases still gives BIG Finance about 3% of the purchase. We need to reduce as much of their profits as possible that day. CASH the 28th!

In SanAnto, Wed. learn:
Why Garcias books might appeal to kids 15–25.
The perfect way to enjoy his books?
Is Iztac on the cover wearing a bikini or less?
Is there sex in the book?
What history, legend are in his books?
Aztec myths will be exposed.
See you there, along with 2 famous poetas. gracias

I hate Poison Plastic gifts!
I aim for non-plastic, more fun than wasting $.
Wife Carmen got corn husks n masa for 4 doz. tamales.
I'm still finishing an ipe ironwood gift.
A little girl wanted a gumball machine.
One piece of furniture is just a sketch of a gift.
So, a non-plastic feliz to U all!
