Good luck with this. It's a great idea! Feel free to support Canadian (or any other non-American) companies instead. Maybe that makes a point too? #ShopLocal #NotUS #EconomicStrike #CancelTheUS

This needs to be bigger news. I'd hate to think that murdering white people in the street is causing a distraction from the bigger picture of massive deaths caused by ICE. Thank you @zeteo.com -- is someone tracking all the deaths and atrocities?

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.
