We stood up to ICE.
Next, We take on the Oligarchy.
Much Easier.
Last winter, Minnesotans showed the world what can happen when neighbors work together to fight injustice. The struggle ahead is against the multi-billionaire corporations and individuals who use our dollars and data to dominate our politics and destroy our democracy. That's too high a price for "free" services and cheap merchandise.
Join the Resistance!
Start with one easy action
Here's why.
Amazon's no bargain. Facebook is creepy. And Google is destroying the internet.
Boycott Amazon.
Amazon used to be great - good for shoppers, good for vendors, and super convenient. Now it's just an over-priced Temu, selling the same cheap Chinese merch, and screwing its vendors. Costco has better products, better prices and better values. Or better yet, shop locally.
De-Google Your Life.
Google Search used to be your gateway to the internet. Now it's cluttered with ads, spam, and an AI overview designed to short-circuit your trip. Luckily, there are good, privacy-protecting alternatives to Google Search, GMail, Chrome, Android, Maps and all the rest.
Unfriend Facebook & Instagram.
You probably hate Facebook and Instagram already, for their invasion of privacy, toxic algorithms, reactionary politics, and unending feed of slop and misinformation. Here's how to turn off their algorithms, block most of their ads, and eventually break up.
