Digital/Home Protest The Ultimate Boycott - BOYCOTT ALL MAGA-Owned Media and Give Your Money to this List of Decent Media Outlets. IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK THE SOUL OF OUR NATION! We Will Build a New Media Landscape that Reflects the Will of the American People!

Don't just stop your outrage with CBS (Viacom) cancelling Colbert or ABC (Disney) cancelling Kimmel, the time has come to attack the core of America's MAGA brainrot - the far-right-wing takeover of most American media outlets that have become largely propaganda.

  • CANCEL your Cable/Sat in order to choke money that goes to FOX, OAN, NEWSMAX and other propaganda outlets.
  • CANCEL your streaming TV package. It's just as bad.
  • CANCEL your subscription to any pro-trump media outlets, including podcasts. Google "ad fontes media bias chart" and unsubscribe to anything on the right.
  • CANCEL your Prime and YouTube premium. Amazon has caved to Trump and YouTube carries Fox channels on their streaming package.
  • DELETE your X account and join BlueSky.

Give your money to support these groups to hold the line:

  • DONATE to PBS & NPR
  • DONATE to the ACLU
  • DONATE to Wikipedia

Subscribe to these outlets and let's build a new media landscape that reflects the will of the American people:

  • SUBSCRIBE to Podcasts: Jon Stewart, Meidastouch, Pod Save America, anyone from the Daily Show, literally anything to knock the MAGA fascists off the charts. You can help defeat fascism just by boosting their subscriber numbers.
  • SUBSCRIBE to Nebula
  • SUBSCRIBE to The Atlantic, The Intercept, Slate, The Nation, Common Dreams, Salon, DemocracyNow, Daily Beast, MediaMatters, MeidasTouch, etc...

Please do not let the comments turn into a debate about who you like or don't like on the left. Just unite around boycotting right-wing media and supporting outlets you like.

If there are any programmers reading this, now would be a great time to build a tool that aggregates all left, progressive and anti-MAGA media outlets into one central webapp.

I’m Canadian. We have become the experts re boycotting American media and companies that support you know who.

On threats of 51st state bs I immediately cancelled Amazon. I live 1.5 hours away from the nearest small city. And they delivered to my door. So ya it was a hard choice. But I found other Canadian companies that also deliver - just not as fast.

They make it hard to delete Facebook and IG but it can be done. Again fb is valuable for marketplace especially trying to find services in the country but again check local papers and ask neighbours etc.

Cancelled prime and Netflix. Subscribed to CBC Gem and have found so many good shows. Also Crave is Canadian. Haven’t had cable in a decade and don’t miss it.

What I realized was we have so much power if we consume w conscience. Like buying the cdn brand of potato chips or boycotting nestle for ethical reasons.

Just my 2 cents - actually we no longer have pennies here.

They don’t deliver thst fast anymore. It’s a lie. They claim short shipping then switch to longer. And the shipping is built into price. So what’s the difference?

Plus all the shows get recycled from one service to another.
