From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re asking you not to shop from three major corporations enabling Trump’s fascist agenda.

• HOME DEPOT, which enables ICE terrorism by allowing Trump’s jackboots to violently detain and kidnap workers on its properties.

• TARGET, which caved in to MAGA backlash by pulling Pride merchandise off the shelves, and canceled DEI programs that support Black workers and businesses.

• AMAZON, which provides technology to power ICE deportations while Jeff Bezos spends a fortune kissing up to Trump -funding both his MAGA agenda and vanity projects like his ballroom.

Donald Trump is wildly grasping for power that doesn’t belong to him - and greedy corporations seem more than happy to give it up. They are donating millions to curry Trump's favor, standing aside as his regime attacks workers and shoppers, and meekly caving to even the weakest, most dubious threats.

Our cowardly corporate leaders need a reminder that real power belongs to the people. And next week, during the biggest shopping weekend of the year, we are sending them a message.

Triple your impact!  Get three other people to join the blackout and use our graphics and customizable social posts to get others involved.

Contact Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and demand they publicly call for new Senate leadership. Senators Schumer and Durbin have failed to meet the moment. It is past time for a change. Let them know you are part of the IndivisibleNOCO community and will only support primary candidates who publicly call for a change in Senate Leadership.

The Senate vote to open the government was not just a disappointment - it was a surrender. Senate Democrats had the leverage, public support, and a clear mandate: protect healthcare, restore Medicaid funding, and stop Trump from looting the federal budget. Instead, they walked away with nothing. The final deal offered only a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in 40 days - with no guarantee it will pass - and House Republicans have already said they will not take it up.

Adding insult to taxpayer-funded injuries, the deal also includes a provision that paves the way for the eight Republican senators whose phone logs were seized during former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to sue the government for up to $500,000 apiece.

The vote appeared stage-managed, with eight Democrats, none facing reelection, voting yes. We do not know exactly what happened behind closed doors, but the outcome suggests a coordinated retreat (an rumor has it that Hickenlooper was involved in coordinating the retreat). What is clear is that Senate leadership failed to unify the caucus at a moment of maximum leverage and when it mattered most. The public was mobilized, Democrats were winning, and leadership threw the fight.

IndivisibleNOCO is indebted to Robert Hubbell for summarizing why we are so outraged at the Senate Democrats’ capitulation. We encourage the IndivisibleNOCO community to read his entire analysis of the capitulation, which included the following lessons learned:

• Trump learned that taking hostages works, even when doing so violates federal law.

• Trump learned that centrist Democrats are the weak link in the Senate and can be forced to fold simply by refusing to negotiate.

• Trump learned that he can continue to illegally withhold funds and raise illegal taxes without fear of restraint from Congress.

• Congressional Republicans learned that refusing to negotiate with Democrats is a wildly successful strategy.

• Grassroots activists and party faithful learned that their hard work in defending democracy is taken for granted by most of their elected representatives.

To the last point, IndivisibleNOCO says NO MORE! We have been working our hearts out for this country since 2016 and we are tired of the rug being ripped out from under our feet by our elected officials.

Colorado faces major elections in 2026, and the Democratic primary field is already crowded. IndivisibleNOCO is joining Indivisible National in supporting only primary candidates who fight, inspire, and call for new Senate leadership. If Democrats will not stand up to fascism, we will find new ones who will. And to be clear: we’ll support whoever wins the primary, because defeating the regime in November is non-negotiable. But building a party that fights and wins starts with demanding better from its leaders.

Spotify is running ads to recruit for ICE  -  the very agency accused of secretive surveillance, family separation, and authoritarian enforcement tactics. A platform built to amplify creators is now amplifying state power. When artists and users raised the alarm, Spotify didn’t back down - it doubled down.

This is not just about ads. It’s about complicity.

Authoritarian regimes rely on pillars of support: financial resources, cultural legitimacy, and corporate partnerships. Every dollar spent on Spotify -  every stream, every subscription - helps fund a system that undermines human rights and democratic values.

We have pushed back before. When ABC/Disney tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, public pressure made them listen. Now it is Spotify’s turn to listen.

What You Can Do:

• Cancel Spotify Premium until they drop ICE recruitment ads. [Watch step-by-step instructions here.]

• Using the free version? Cancel anyway — ad revenue still funds ICE.

• Switch to QoBuz — it’s not quite as user-friendly, but it pays artists better, provides a better audio experience  and doesn’t platform authoritarian recruitment.

Make Your Action Heard - When you cancel, post about it. Tag @indivisiblenoco and use your voice to amplify the boycott.

Keep chipping away at the financial resources propping up the authoritarian power grab - if you still use Comcast, switch to Connexion.

If you live in Fort Collins, you’ve got a better option than Comcast - Connexion, our community-owned internet and cable service. While Comcast is funding Trump’s destruction of the White House, Connexion is reinvesting in Fort Collins. Your dollars stay local, powering public services, providing jobs  and strengthening our economy.

Connexion provides fast and reliable internet service at a fraction of the cost of Comcast. And it provides customer service that actually serves you. Call Connexion and you will talk to a real person - someone who listens, solves problems, and goes the extra mile.

November SNAP benefits are canceled due to the Trump government shutdown. 

Did you know that SNAP is designed to keep feeding families even during government shutdowns—thanks to $6B in emergency reserves. But the Trump administration said it won’t use those funds. That’s right: the safety net is there, but the GOP is choosing to let people go hungry.

In few days, almost 36,000 Larimer County residents, including many federal workers who were laid off or are fuloughed, are going to experience food insecurity. Even without the shutdown, the new work requirements, changes to the states’ funding responsibility and changes to eligibility that were part of the GOP funding bill in July will likely lead to reduced SNAP benefits for about 60,000 Coloradans starting this year.

Now is a time for our community to come together and help each other weather the storm that this administration is unleashing upon the most vulnerable among us. If you are able, please consider a monthly or one-time contribution to the Larimer County Food Bank.  Other ways to contribute include donating food and non-food items or hosting a food drive. Information is available on the Food Bank’s website.
