        On September 17th, after Jimmy Kimmel noted the right's propagandizing of the Charlie Kirk shooting and playing an unflattering clip of Trump, the head of the FCC Brenden Carr issued a thinly veiled threat towards ABC. Kimmel was suspended indefinitely. The outcry was swift. A boycott on unprecedented levels swept the country, with lifelong fans and its own celebrities cutting ties. After five days of boycott and billions in profit lost, Disney surrendered to the public and returned Kimmel. Only days later, Sinclair and Nexstar- who had separately refused to play his show- did the same. For all of Trump's posturing, for all of his influence, he cannot suppress the will of We, the People! We hold the power, and this boycott showed that when push comes to shove, we will wield it for the sake of defending our American freedom! We must continue to wield our power until Trump is removed from office, and then on until every injustice in this country is done away with. The evils of this administration are not only of this administration, but a darkness that has meant to take this country since its founding. But the good that has defeated it here has always exist and will always exist to defeat it!

        The power we showed here is the power to reduce the powerful through our wallets. While less dramatic than the power of our votes, until the midterms arrive it is our greatest power. The People's Union USA has been organizing boycotts and economic blackouts for years, and is planning a series of blackouts for this October against companies that have given to Trump's campaigns or have bowed to his will. While Disney's place on the list is perhaps outdated, the rest must be moved against to make our message clear- to support Trump is to lose the support of your customers. Meanwhile, the Tesla Takedown movement is ongoing and provides information on how to protest Musk's corporations and how to divest your money from Tesla. While Musk himself has lost influence, he is still a megadonor and bigot who has harmed this country and must be kept from harming it again. Another megadonor, Peter Thiel, has supported Trump not just with money but with the means to surveil Americans illegally. Palantir, one of his corporations, has helped the government hunt down migrants for deportation to prisons, here or abroad. Indivisible and Mobilize both provide resources to join a protest or organize one yourself for free.

        Meanwhile, the No Kings movement is preparing for another round of protests against Trump and his regime. Just like the first protests, they are being planned across the country with even Trump's stronghold states turning out against him. In foreign nations, protester are planning to pressure their governments to end collaboration with the Trump regime and its inhumane agenda. Mark the date for a protest against the un-American authoritarian that has captured our nation.

        God bless America.
