Resist and Unsubscribe: The Economic Strike Against ICE
45 segments
Many of us feel powerless right now. And
as Dan Harris says, action absorbs
anxiety. But what is that action? The
Trump administration doesn't respond to
outrage. It responds to economic
signals. It's not about ideology. It's
about mechanics. When stock prices fall,
when GDP looks threatened, when interest
rates increase, all of a sudden we see
very crisp walking back of the
president's plans, whether that's to
annex uh Greenland or to reduce tariffs.
We have a $30 trillion economy and
roughly 70% of it is driven by consumer
spending. That is our secret weapon.
Small coordinated changes can move GDP.
And when GDP moves, decisions get made.
In Q2 2020, GDP collapsed 31%. And
overnight, the government moved faster
than it ever has. Today, the Trump
administration is escalating ICE
enforcement. That's disappointing. Even
worse news, it's with the help of
corporations that provide the data,
infrastructure, and logistics to make it
all possible. That's why resist and
unsubscribe isn't a protest. It's an
economic strike. A temporary coordinated
pullback from consumer discretionary
spending focused on where economic and
political power is most concentrated,
specifically tech and AI. That means
pausing or cancelling subscriptions from
companies including Amazon, Apple,
Google, Microsoft, Netflix, OpenAI, and
more. We've built a website that makes
it easy to maximize your impact. Go to
resistand unsubscribe.com. Again, that's

and take action. The most radical action
in a capitalist society is
nonparticipation.

The speaker asserts that the Trump administration is primarily influenced by economic signals, not public outrage or ideology. With consumer spending driving 70% of the $30 trillion US economy, it's presented as a powerful tool. The "resist and unsubscribe" movement advocates for an economic strike through a coordinated, temporary pullback from discretionary spending, specifically targeting tech and AI companies, to counter policies like escalating ICE enforcement. The website resistandunsubscribe.com is offered as a resource, emphasizing that nonparticipation is the most radical action in a capitalist society.
