Initiated by Scott Galloway, this site's masthead text is:
Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values. Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked. Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight.
First, we must recognize that the president is unfazed by citizen outrage, the courts, or the media. He responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers. In sum, the shortest path to change without hurting consumers is an economic strike targeted at the companies driving the markets and enabling our president.

I was able to quickly and easily ditch my Apple and Kindle Unlimited subscriptions following the links, though I've managed to live without most of the other things and can't vouch for their ease of cancellation. Sadly, I can't cancel my Internet service, but there will still be an impact if this grows enough.
My only subscription is for Runescape which is apparently owned by “CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII and Haveli Investments” (Wikipedia) No idea if cancelling my membership would help here, never...
My only subscription is for Runescape which is apparently owned by “CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII and Haveli Investments” (Wikipedia)
No idea if cancelling my membership would help here, never heard of that company.
Edit this ownership history is kinda nuts, I didn’t know that Jagex was being passed around like a hot potato every couple years, the game seems to be doing so well.
Realistically this isn't possible to 100%, sorry. Especially in America. Comcast or AT&T have a monopoly or duopoly in most areas, almost every media company is ruled out, and alternatives are...
Realistically this isn't possible to 100%, sorry. Especially in America. Comcast or AT&T have a monopoly or duopoly in most areas, almost every media company is ruled out, and alternatives are difficult, niche, and often more expensive.
I would happily disengage from most of these that I'm currently dealing with, but some (Eg Google) are necessary for work.
My area has both Comcast and AT&T, but AT&T can’t reliably provide 50mbps download (I literally had to argue with them to downgrade to 25gbps because their lines couldn’t handle it). So...
My area has both Comcast and AT&T, but AT&T can’t reliably provide 50mbps download (I literally had to argue with them to downgrade to 25gbps because their lines couldn’t handle it). So effectively I only have Comcast. Please someone build out fiber.

He's said on a recent podcast this isn't necessarily aimed at people who don't have or can't afford alternatives. He's also said this isn't designed to be a long-term thing, his reasoning/hope is if enough people do it for a month or two, their CEOs will notice and they have the ear of Trump.
Moodys claims the 10% of earners account for almost 50% of discretionary consumer spending in the US right now. Those are people who could very easily cut/replace a few services and barely notice a difference in their quality of life.
I don't have any of these subscriptions. Am I already unwittingly resisting? Though I do shop at Lowes Hardware now and again, and wasn't aware of them using license plate readers.

Interestingly I'm already disconnected from basically everything they mention, except for Comcast/Xfinity - which is the de facto sole internet service provider in my area.

It's odd that Hilton isn't present when we know they've actively punished a local hotel for not serving ICE. Like publicly and obviously. I'm not able to get off Microsoft or Google even if I quit...

I'm not able to get off Microsoft or Google even if I quit both for personal use, but the stores and other businesses are helpful
I sail the seas for most everything and shop used for everything else. If you're a creator who I know isn't under a big banner, I'll pay ya. For everybody else, go fuck yourself ;) That all said,...

That all said, I'd love to stop shopping on Amazon but it's impossible.

I'd be utterly delighted if I never had to touch another Microsoft product for the rest of my life, but work. 🤷♀️

My choices are basically Spectrum cable, AT&T DSL, Verizon 5G, or Starlink. Dirty hands or unusable service.

By not consuming before it was cool, you are a hipster resister.
