@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.
Resistance is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

Interesting perspective from her article:
"...economic noncooperation — such as strikes, boycotts and buycotts — is what often gets the goods...Pro-independence colonists living under the British crown organized campaigns to refuse to buy or consume British goods; ..."

One of my favorite things to do lately is to put things in my Amazon cart and then go buy it somewhere else.
In this case, a product I did buy from Amazon in 2024 for $14.99, but $10 more in 2026 when I can get it from the source for the 2024 price.
Go fuck yourselves Amazon!

This is the exact scenario former FTC chair Lina Khan was talking about last year. Though she was talking about Delta int an interview about surveillance pricing, Jet Blue was caught doing surveillance pricing on someone just trying to get to a funeral.

One of the greatest features of the internet is the ability to watch video at increased speed (1.5x, 2x, etc.)
I cannot be bothered to watch things at normal speed.
I legit will stop watching something if I can't speed it up.

They 100% are going to use that data to to jack up prices, there is no doubt about that.
Google could be sharing YOUR user data with Target and Walmart.
And what could those companies do with it? Jack up prices based on your search and chat history.
I'm pressing Google to come clean and tell users how their data is being used.

There are two important Democrats who have not: Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Interesting video--I wasn't aware of the concept of the "paradox of tolerance" before.
Reminds me of times when magas sarcastically call democrats "the party of tolerance" for being intolerant of maga anti-pluralism. It always felt like a no-win situation and now I understand why.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
