JonInteresting data., My takeaways are somewhat somewhat different. The Economic Blackout didn't exempt Costco (just locally-owned businesses) or single out Target, so at least in terms of web traffic to these four sites it had zero net impact ... By contrast the data makes it seem like the boycotts specifically focusing on Target are having a steadily-increasing impact ... not surprising, I've repeatedly heard from experienced organizers that these targeted actions (also including <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/TeslaTakedown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeslaTakedown</a>) are more likely to be effective at this point.It's also worth highlighting that the Target boycott by We Are Somebody and <a href="https://www.targetfast.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Target Fast</a> are both Black-led projects. So to the extent that white people are crediting the impact on Target to the white-led Economic Boycott -- or using the overall impact on Target to inflate the impact of the white-led Economic Boycott -- it's an example systemic anti-Blackness from people claiming to oppose white supremacy.The Forbes article did mention other Target boycotts, and mentioned Target Fast by name (although not We Are Somebody) , but the headline and overall framing is very much in terms of the Economic Blackout. And when it got excerpted in the thread on Bluesky, even the mention of the Black-led projecs was erased ...

Flipboard Culture DeskThe economic blackout on Feb. 28 doesn't appear to have had much impact — on Amazon, at least, where transactions were 1% higher than a typical Friday, though the buying pattern through the day was different from normal.

BroadwaybabytoIf you’re participating in the economic blackout today - thank you! You can make impactful purchasing decisions every day. You can buy local, from small and minority owned businesses. You can avoid large corporations who align with fascist values. Vote with your wallet.But in the spirit of inclusion, gentle reminder that many disabled people can’t shop local, especially if housebound. We’re dependent on delivery & sometimes left with big chains as our only option. If you can, help someone get what they need from a great local minority owned business! Community will save us in the end.<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspoli</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/economicblackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economicblackout</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/shoplocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoplocal</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabilityrights</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a>

Lee from Philly 🇺🇦I totally understand how disillusioned people are, after that travesty of an election. But if we don't join together and take action, such as today's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/economicblackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economicblackout</a>, if for no other reason than solidarity, then what do we mean by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resistance</a> ?

You did not sit in a power-mapping meeting and collectively determine a one-day boycott is the most effective lever to gain power. You do not have a plan to turn up the heat. What skin of yours is in the game?

MikeWe can't use neoliberal tactics to solve neoliberal problems. Unfortunately, a one-day break from consumerism with no durable organization is a distraction from what we know works.If you're participating in the <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/economicblackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#economicblackout</a> the movement needs you to also dig a little deeper, commit a little more, have some one-on-one conversations and become a scholar of organizing.
