Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”
I also think we ought to stop being consumers at a broad level. It’s clear the rich don’t actually trickle anything down and instead hoard it to invest. So, they won’t spend to prop up the economy.
For one, stop using Amazon. Cancel Prime. Use other search engines than Google. Don’t use WhatsApp. Cancel and delete your Instagram, Facebook and Twitter if you haven’t already. Don’t buy Apple products.
For each of those services and products above, there is at least one alternative.
Unfortunately I can’t upvote this more than once. Also, if only I could force people to follow this advice.
I would also delete reddit and TikTok if you haven’t already! I don’t know if there’s a good replacement for short form videos but TikTok is censoring like crazy, plus all the other bad shit they do.
Loops is coming soon, and it’s federated!
Yay! Thank you, this is a nice nugget of news.

Is there a reliable resource for good alternatives to these services? I’ve prepared my own, which I can share. But I know I’m missing a lot of options.
Edit: I found this page, which has some good ones. But it’s far from complete from a social network perspective.
