Don't stay home depressed. GO TO A PROTEST! It boosts your spirits 100%. You'll meet some of your tribe. And it makes a difference. It's something we've got they can't take away. But if we sit at home, the dark ones get ahead.

These are a few of the consumer companies working with and profitting from ICE. If you want to participate in any boycotts you could also leave 1 star reviews on the app store/google play, google search, etc. Email/call their corporate offices and let them know why you have cancelled your services.
Amazon (Prime, Audible, Music, Video, Whole Foods): Amazon provides web services to the ICE software that tracks people. The company is making hundreds of million in govt contracts per year. (Alternaitves: use Ebay, shop local, or go to individual companies' sites to purchase what you need. Share, reuse, repurpose items with neighbors.)
AT&T: AT&T has been actively contracting with and profiting from providing services to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Uber: Multiple outlets have reported ICE targeting delivery drivers. In Washington, D.C., the agency partnered with city police to check driver's immigration status, the Washington Post reported in August 2025. Activists are upset with the silence from Uber's leadership.
Dell: Dell profits from and supports U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by providing technology, hardware, and infrastructure through its federal contracting arm.
Microsoft: Provides software and cloud solutions to federal agencies. (Alternatives: Linux is cheap/free and works pretty great. You can find and install easily online. Zorin OS linus distro is the easiest to transition from Windows. Also, OnlyOffice is an excellent replacement for MS office. There is a free tier to store things locally on your machine and a paid tier for cloud storage. Try it out for free and replace your expensive MS office subscription.)
Marriott: Immigration officials held people being deported at a Marriott-owned hotel in Louisiana, The Guardian reported in August 2025. The hotel chain previously pledged in 2019 not to use its properties in cooperation with ICE.
Hilton Hotels is doing the same. (Alternatives: literally any smaller chain hotel.)
Charter Communications: or providing cable and internet services to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) field office in Beaumont, Texas.
Comcast: Provides ICE with cable at five "regional wire rooms," according to Forbes.
Fedex: Provides delivery services for ICE through a govt contract.
UPS: as of early 2026, UPS holds active contracts to provide shipping and delivery services for ICE. (Alternatives: DHL)
Apple: Not only has Apple CEO, Tim Cook met with Trump several times, given him gifts, and went to a private white house screening of "Melania" shortly after the Alex Pretti shooting, but also in October 2025, Apple removed an app called ICEBlock that allowed users to alert people to federal agents. A lawsuit filed in December by the app's developer sued Trump officials, who pressured Apple to take it down. (Alternatives: This one is a bit tricky since we have such a small selection. But do not upgrade for as long as possible. If you do need an upgrade then try to buy from a refurbished newer model from a secondary seller other than apple.)
Meta: Meta has started blocking users from sharing links to ICE List, a website with what it claims are the names of DHS employees, Wired reported on Jan. 27. Meta also removed a Facebook group that shared information about ICE agents in Chicago at the Department of Justice's request, according to The New York Times. (Alternatives: This one is a little hard also. But here are the social media swaps- Bluesky for X, UpScrolled for Instagram.
Google: In September 2025, ICE spent $530,000 on Google cloud products, Forbes reported. Google also removed ICEBlock from its app stores in October 2025, as well as a similar app Red Dot, according to The New York Times. (Alternatives: There are some alternatives here, but it may take a while to degoogle. For browsers I suggest Brave, Ecosia, Duck Duck Go.)
Found it!!!
- I also saw a sign today. I was walking through the forest past that big double tree that I’ve felt represented the two sides of the U.S. people. it’s an eastern pine with double trunks rising about 80 feet. I turned to get a message about our country and noticed that the two trunks nearer the base were embracing. They were holding each other close. I think the U.S. people are going to find something profound they can come together on. (Jeanne Mayell)"
Discovering beautiful ways people have found to show resistance is inspirational. I find them daily blessings of light, hope and gratitude.
Today's story of resistance light comes from Old Town Philadelphia and is specifically about the Presidents House, a place I visited 12 years ago and truly appreciated. The foundation ruins of The President's House, located one block from Independence Hall, is run by the NPS and was the home where both Washington and John Adams once lived. Until the beginning of this year, it also housed an incredible exhibit on slavery in the Old Town Philadelphia area.
After the leader of our nation ordered the exhibits removal, the resistance began.
Residents who live in Old Town Philadelphia now take turns standing on the foundation of the President's House site reading paper copies (downloaded shortly before their removal) of the original NPS exhibit texts for tourists and anyone passing by to hear. Messages are also written to tourists on the blank exhibit boards and paper copies of the former artwork on the boards are pinned up by residents as well.
I am a fervent supporter of public history and ardent supporter of its preservation. The more he tries to erase it, the more the public attempts to bring it back into the light for all to see. Some may be lost forever like the East Wing of the White House, but what was and what remains can and will be spoken of by those who refuse to let our history be disappeared. Public history is OUR history and belongs to each of us.
Thank you Old Town Philadelphia Residents!
If you saw the Ring Super Bowl ad, you know.
It was a super creepy mass surveillance state warning to us all disguised as heartwarming fluffy dog reunification technology product.
Now would be a great time to consider uninstalling Ring if you have it and sending Amazon a message. If you have no idea what I am talking about, search for the ad and watch it.
Passing this call to action from Common Cause. The link below is a legitimate link that connects you with your senators' DC contact phone numbers and you can then leave a message for them to NOT fund ICE. No exceptions until they remove ICE and Border Control from our cities & towns and remove Kristi Noem.
Be patient while they connect you to your first Senator.
Leave your message then click * (the star key) and it will then connect you with the other one. The ICE/Border Control funding is coming up for a vote as we speak. It is a valuable action to get the voice of the people to your senators.
I told them not to renew ICE funding until (1) they removed Kristi Noem and (2) remove ICE and Border Control completely from our cities and towns. Put them back at the borders where they belong if they even belong anywhere in their present state.

LMK if there is anything wrong with that link.
Thank you for allowing me on this forum. My great grandmother was psychic, my sister was psychic, and I am an empath but now I am getting psychic dreams. Anything I post is real, but I worry about what I see. I do not know how to interpret them but I will still put in on here hoping someone else can.
Terrific Colbert interview with Texas Rep. Talarico, yes, the one CBS decided not to air.

Send Protection Energy!!!!! https://www.local3news.com
The Energy emanating from just 12 miles down the road and the traffic disruptions are horrendous.
We do have a group of us protesting peacefully and holding signs.
The Energy level is very chaotic and disruptive and has my intuition in overdrive.
On Tuesday, everyone is boycotting Trump's State of the Union Speech. There will be a PEOPLE's State of the Union speech given at the National Mall starting at 8:30 (when Trump's speech begins). It will be hosted by many well know democracy advocates, senators, immigrants affected by his policies, federal workers. Hosted by Meidas Touch and Movenon-on!
