As menÂtioned here last week, Scott GalÂloway argued that AmerÂiÂcans have one way to reverse the vioÂlent overÂreach of the fedÂerÂal govÂernÂment: launch a one-month ecoÂnomÂic strike aimed at major tech and AI comÂpaÂnies, with the goal of reducÂing AmerÂiÂca’s GDP and makÂing the marÂkets wobÂble. When the marÂkets gyratÂed after “LibÂerÂaÂtion Day,” PresÂiÂdent Trump immeÂdiÂateÂly rolled back many tarÂiffs. Now, if AmerÂiÂcans can flex their ecoÂnomÂic musÂcles in FebÂruÂary, GalÂloway wagers the adminÂisÂtraÂtion will rethink whether it wants to keep arrestÂing jourÂnalÂists and letÂting masked ICE agents shoot civilÂians in the streets—with impuniÂty.
Today, GalÂloway has launched a new webÂsite, Resist and UnsubÂscribe, that proÂvides an action plan for a monthÂlong strike. In the “Ground Zero” secÂtion of the site, GalÂloway lists subÂscripÂtion serÂvices from America’s largest techÂnolÂoÂgy companies—Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, NetÂflix, OpeÂnAI, and Microsoft—and proÂvides links that let users quickÂly unsubÂscribe. If you use FebÂruÂary to review your subÂscripÂtions and find ones to cut, you’ll clean up your perÂsonÂal finances. You’ll also get the attenÂtion of the major techÂnolÂoÂgy comÂpaÂnies that account for one-third of the S&P 500. When the tech CEOs get “yipÂpy,” so too will Trump.
In the “Blast Zone” secÂtion of Resist and UnsubÂscribe, GalÂloway lists consumer‑facing comÂpaÂnies he “idenÂtiÂfied as active enablers of ICE,” includÂing AT&T, ComÂcast, Lowe’s, MarÂriott, and SpoÂtiÂfy. He explains how these comÂpaÂnies supÂport ICE and recÂomÂmends speÂcifÂic serÂvices you can canÂcel or avoid.
VisÂit Resist and UnsubÂscribe, find some serÂvices to canÂcel (it’s not a large sacÂriÂfice), and spread the word. You can also find more inforÂmaÂtion about the Resist and UnsubÂscribe moveÂment on GalÂloway’s blog, “No Mercy/No MalÂice.”
