Resist and Unsubscribe.

In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

They're among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.

Oh ffs, they're not doing enough because they've submitted to him! They literally went to his inauguration to kiss the ring!

But better to wake up late then never I suppose

    And before that, where did people think money-grubbing, morally-bankrupt billionaires vacuuming up all their data was going to lead? This was all but inevitable, especially when, without outrage-based engagement algorithms there is no President Trump. These scumbags prop each other up. Don't give them a dime or let them profit off your attention.
