Stop buying name brand everything. Try all the international foods at Aldi’s. Buy everything pre-owned. Grow as much of your own food as possible. Cancel your subscriptions. Invest in a pirate hat, eye patch and a good eu vpn like mulvad. Participate in this economy as little as possible. Stay strong my friends.
There’s a comment further up that brought up the very salient point that that would be supporting the current admin by directly contributing financially. I’m not disagreeing with you, but it is something to keep in mind.
I hate how crypto can be a workaround (given how much energy it uses), but that said, idk which crypto would be the best for queer- and european friendly stuff. Iirc Ethereum uses a lot less energy, at least.
I agree 100%. Not sure about its environmental impact, but due to it’s privacy focus I’ve used Monero before. Cash is ling either way.
In Europe we have some local payment alternatives like Twint or soon Wero.
The US also has Venmo and CashApp, not sure if they are suitable alternatives. At least CashApp has sponsored Drag Race in the past, so I would hope they don’t donate to the maga pedo clan.

Also making the US as dependent on left-focused, democratic countries as possible, by buying from those countries instead.

Edit: typo
Spring the current admin?
Typo. I’ll fix it.
Very possible for tech or digital services. As long as you’re not paying import tarifs to the government.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex and PayPal should all be avoided as well. Pay cash where you can, crypto can be a workaround online.
