How to Christmas shop when boycotting Amazon, Target, & Walmart
Boycotting Amazon, Walmart, & Target, but still want to give Christmas gifts? I created this ethical shopping guide to help myself this year. It includes a boycott list, experience gift ideas & more.
We know it's difficult to commit to a shopping blackout from Nov 25 - Dec 2, but itโs worth considering no or minimal shopping during this time.
Let Amazon, Home Depot, Starbucks, Target, Walmart, and others know there are costs to capitulation to the Trump regime.

Identified: federal agents who pointed gun, punched detainee in Evanston
Unraveled has verified a hate speech-laden X account belonging to U.S. Border Patrol agent Timothy Donahue, who was seen in numerous viral videos during Operation Midway Blitz. He and another agent, T...
NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man.
We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

The record in this case, including many of the amicus briefs filed, makes clear that there
are strong views on both sides about whether these deployments represent good policy. But the Court is only tasked with deciding whether Defendants' actions are lawful. In this opinion, the Court addresses two of the District's statutory arguments under the APA and finds that it is likely
to succeed on the merits of both. First, the DOD Defendants have exceeded the bounds of their
authority under Title 49 of the D.C. Code, and thus acted contrary to law, in deploying the DCNG for non-military, crime-deterrence missions in the absence of a request from the city's civil authorities. Second, these Defendants lack statutory authority under 32 U.S.C. ยง 502 to support
their request for assistance from out-of-state National Guards and their actions in calling those
Guards to the District. The Court finds that the District's exercise of sovereign powers within its jurisdiction is irreparably harmed by Defendants' actions in deploying the Guards, and that the balance of equities and public interest weigh in the District's favor. As such, the Court will GRANT the District's motion for preliminary relief and partially DENY Defendants' motion to
dismiss on those claims. The Court finds, however, that the public interest weighs in favor of an
administrative stay in this case, and that a stay is needed to permit orderly proceedings on appeal.
Accordingly, the Court will STAY its order for 21 days, until December 11, 2025?
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's DC troop deployment is likely illegal โย both as to D.C. National Guard and and out-of-state National Guard units โ granting DC's request to block the use of the troops in this way.
The preliminary injunction is stayed until Dec. 11.

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
Now thatโs a lede.

Itโs been almost 48 hours and we still donโt know with certainty how many people were detained on Tuesday, the grounds (if any) on which theyโre being held, or what will happen next for these members of our communityโall of whom have families and friends and people who love them.
This isnโt normal.

Briggs is one of five people arrested during a Sept. 27 protest at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and subsequently charged with assaulting, impeding or resisting a federal officer.
All of the other four cases had already been tossed out. Briggs' was the last, with trial set to start on Dec. 8.

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.
