Farm bankruptcies were already on the rise when President Trump's trade war added to the financial pressures on America's soybean farmers.

Megan Thompson visited two Minnesota farmers to hear what's on their minds this harvest season. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.

The Political Scene's Washington Roundtable—the staff writers Jane Mayer, Susan Glasser, and Evan Osnos—discuss how, in the wake of the reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel's show, public resistance has a chance to turn the tide against autocratic impulses in today's politics. They are joined by Hardy Merriman, an expert on the history and practice of civil resistance, to discuss what kinds of coördinated actions—protests, boycotts, “buycotts,” strikes, and other nonviolent approaches—are most effective in a fight against democratic backsliding. “Acts of non-coöperation are very powerful,” Merriman, the former president of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, says. “Non-coöperation is very much about numbers. You don't necessarily need people doing things that are high-risk. You just need large numbers of people doing them.”This segment originally aired on The Political Scene on September 26, 2025.

"In 1983, fifty companies controlled 90% of America's media. Today, five companies control 90%." Ali Velshi points to the temporary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to demonstrate how an oppressive administration uses mergers to control free speech. "But Kimmel is back on the air," he says. Boycotts, sit-ins, petitions -- "these are the tools that break authoritarian power." 

Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson and other local lawmakers are demanding that KOMO put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. An update on the shooting at the Dallas ICE facility yesterday. Guest: A signature gatherer was harrassed at a Bonney Lake Walmart.

In this episode of Yahweh's Money, I sit down with Steven Waddy, President of the Anne Arundel County NAACP, for a powerful conversation about boycotts, buying power, and how turning purchases into purpose can transform communities.We dive deep into how consumer choices become spiritual advocacy, why disinvestment after George Floyd's murder sparked today's wave of boycotts, and how God calls us to align our wallets with justice, stewardship, and compassion. Steven shares his journey from civic engagement in Atlanta to leading community impact in Maryland, offering wisdom on what it really means to spend with intention.Together, we unpack the hard truths about Target, Walmart, Amazon, Starbucks, Nike, and beyond while grounding it all in biblical principles that remind us: our money is never just currency, it's a tool for Kingdom change.This episode is part testimony, part social commentary, and all conviction.Here's what you'll walk away with:How commodification, capitalism, and identity collide in our spending habits.The concept of economic violence—and why calling it out matters.Why financial resistance requires both conviction and compassion.How legacy organizations like the NAACP provide vital discernment and direction.Why every purchase is a spiritual decision with ripple effects on justice and community.Featured Scripture:Proverbs 31:8–9 — “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”Featured in Podcast:The Black Consumer AdvisoryAction Step:This week, prayerfully review where your money is going. Identify one company or cause you can support more intentionally—and one you may need to reconsider based on your values. Because small changes, multiplied by millions of believers, can make a Kingdom-sized impact.Connect with Steven Waddy here:Anne Arundel County NAACP WebsiteAnne Arundel County NAACP InstagramAnne Arundel County NAACP LinkedIn Send us a text

Pour ce dernier épisode de notre série boycott, retour quelques mois en arrière, en mars 2025, avec des appels qui se multiplient sur les réseaux sociaux pour ne plus acheter de produits américains. Cette initiative qui prend sa source au Canada et en Europe du Nord fait partie dans un mouvement plus large de protestation envers la politique commerciale et anti-immigration de Donald Trump. Un appel au boycott du « made in USA » et qui va devenir viral sur internet.  Nous sommes début 2025, un peu plus d'un mois après le retour de Donald Trump au pouvoir. Les médias se font l'écho de vidéos postées sur les réseaux sociaux mettant en scène des consommateurs dans des supermarchés ou chez eux incitant à ne plus acheter américain. « La guerre est officiellement déclarée et si vous êtes Canadien, c'est le moment ou jamais d'acheter exclusivement des produits canadiens », déclare une femme. « Montrons-leur avec notre porte-monnaie, qu'on ne peut pas faire n'importe quoi avec le Canada », dit une autre femme.  C'est d'abord au Canada que le mouvement prend de l'ampleur dès le mois de février 2025 : le pays est alors sous le coup des droits de douanes américains, mais surtout des menaces de Donald trump, qui veut faire du Canada le 51ᵉ État américain. Les politiciens canadiens s'en mêlent, et notamment Doug Ford, le Premier ministre de l'Ontario, qui ordonne au plus grand revendeur d'alcool d'État d'arrêter de vendre des marques américaines. « À partir d'aujourd'hui, LCBO, le plus grand acheteur de vins et spiritueux au monde va commencer à enlever les produits américains de ses rayons. » À lire aussiAu Canada, un boycott des États-Unis à l'échelle individuelle « C'est un énorme coup dur pour les producteurs américains, Chaque année, la régie de la province vend pour près d'un milliard de dollars canadiens de vins, bières, cidres, pétillants et spiritueux en provenance des États-Unis. »  Une décision qui ne sera pas sans conséquences, les ventes d'alcools américains s'effondrent de 80 % au Canada dans les semaines qui suivent. Quant au secteur du tourisme américain, il perd 12,5 milliards de dollars en dépenses de visiteurs. Tiktokeuse en français L'Europe n'est pas en reste. En France, des milliers de personnes appellent au boycott des produits de consommation « made in USA », tels que Nike, Coca-Cola, Starbucks ou encore le constructeur automobile Tesla qui voit ses ventes s'effondrer, avec notamment 86 % d'immatriculation en moins en Suède en juillet. Les pays scandinaves sont, eux aussi, fers de lance dans le boycott des produits américains. Au Danemark, un groupe Facebook intitulé « Boycottez les produits des États-Unis » dépasse les 94 000 membres. À lire aussiL'appel au boycott des produits américains Que reste-t-il aujourd'hui de ces appels au boycott et ont-ils été suivis d'effets ? L'influenceuse d'Urbania, Maria Kounkou tente une réponse : « Si les effets économiques pour certains secteurs ou entreprises sont bien réels, le boycott des produits américains reste surtout une arme politique ». 

RFI revient pendant l'été boréal sur les grands boycotts de l'Histoire, quand David fait trembler Goliath en usant de l'arme économique. De l'Irlande à Israël en passant par l'Afrique du Sud ou l'Inde, du lait en poudre au pétrole en passant par les bus de Montgomery, le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen, un mouvement d'expression et de colère qui fait pression sur les puissants. En 2019, l'acteur américain George Clooney fut à l'initiative d'un boycott qui fit reculer Bruneï sur la peine de mort en cas d'homosexualité ou d'adultère.  C'est une voix que tout le monde ou presque connait : « What else ? »  En 2019 George Clooney ne met pas sa notoriété qu'au service d'une célèbre marque de café. Sa voix, l'acteur américain l'utilise aussi pour défendre les droits humains.  Le sultanat de Bruneï, petit État d'Asie du Sud-Est à majorité musulmane, est sur le point d'instaurer la charia. La loi islamique prévoit — entre autres — la peine de mort pour les homosexuels et les personnes coupables d'adultère.  Le 28 mars, George Clooney appelle dans une tribune à boycotter les intérêts du sultan, en l'occurrence « neuf des hôtels les plus prestigieux du monde » détenus (via l'Agence d'investissement de Bruneï) en partie par le monarque. Il signe une tribune dans le magazine américain Deadline : « Cela fait des années que je pratique des régimes meurtriers, j'ai appris que vous ne pouvez pas leur faire honte. Mais vous pouvez faire honte aux banques, aux financiers et aux institutions qui font des affaires avec eux. Soyons clair, chaque fois que nous prenons une chambre ou que nous organisons une réunion que nous dînons dans l'un de ces neuf hôtels, nous mettons de l'argent directement dans la poche d'hommes qui choisissent de lapider et de fouetter à mort leurs concitoyens homosexuels ou accusés d'adultère. »  À lire aussiBrunei punit l'homosexualité de lapidation, levée internationale de boucliers Ambiance La tribune est à la une des journaux télé. Du chanteur britannique Elton John à l'ex-championne de tennis Billie Jean King, les stars relaient l'appel au boycott. De la star de télé Ellen DeGeneres au patron de Virgin Richard Branson. Les États-Unis, l'Union européenne, l'Australie protestent, mais rien n'y fait : comme prévu, la loi entre vigueur le 3 avril 2019.  Manifestations à Londres Dans les rues de Londres, quelques centaines de Britanniques se réunissent devant l'hôtel Dorchester lié au sultan. Aux cris de « honte à vous », ils appellent le gouvernement à rompre tout lien diplomatique avec Bruneï.  Le tollé s'étend aux acteurs économiques. La Deustche Bank interdit à ses employés de séjourner dans les hôtels épinglés. Plusieurs entreprises annulent leurs événements dans les établissements liés au Sultan.   Le 6 mai, l'appel est entendu du côté de Brunei À l'occasion du début du ramadan le sultan Hassanal Bolkiah s'adresse à son peuple : « Nous pratiquons depuis plus de vingt ans un moratoire de facto sur la peine de mort qui relève la loi héritée de l'empire britannique. (la common law). Ce moratoire s'appliquera également aux affaires qui relèvent de la charia ». En d'autres mots, le monarque recule sans pour autant vraiment céder puisque, si les châtiments prévus contre les homosexuels et les personnes reconnues coupables d'adultère ne seront pas appliqués, la loi islamique, elle, reste en vigueur.  En juin dernier, l'un des plus fervents activistes du boycott, l'Américain Jake Duke Mason saluait ce moratoire comme « une victoire majeure ». Mais rappelait que le combat continue pour une « abrogation totale de la loi ».  

Au printemps 1995, l'ONG Greenpeace lance une campagne spectaculaire contre le projet de Shell de couler une plateforme pétrolière en mer du Nord. Boycotts, mobilisation citoyenne et pression médiatique contraignent le géant pétrolier à faire marche arrière. À 200 kilomètres des côtes écossaises, la plateforme Brent Spar, une structure d'acier de 14 500 tonnes perchée à 150 mètres de haut, n'est plus exploitée depuis 1991. Shell, propriétaire néerlando-britannique, prévoit alors de la saborder et de l'immerger dans l'Atlantique. Mais Greenpeace s'y oppose fermement, jugeant la solution dangereuse pour l'environnement. Des militants parviennent même à occuper la plateforme par hélitreuillage, une action spectaculaire largement relayée par les médias internationaux. Un boycott qui coûte cher à Shell Greenpeace transforme l'affaire en campagne européenne. Le mot d'ordre est clair, « Ne faites plus le plein chez Shell ! ». Le mouvement prend rapidement de l'ampleur. En Allemagne, les ventes de carburant chutent de 20%, et certaines stations-service se vident. La filiale locale de Shell enregistre des pertes dépassant 10 millions de Deutsche Mark (DM) par jour, soit environ 6 millions de dollars de l'époque. La direction de Shell reconnaîtra plus tard avoir sous-estimé la force du mouvement. Le consommateur comme contre-pouvoir Sous la pression croissante des autorités allemandes et britanniques, et face à un boycott ravageur, Shell finit par abandonner son projet de sabordage. L'opération de démantèlement coûtera finalement 46 millions de dollars, contre 12 millions initialement prévus. L'affaire Brent Spar devient un cas d'école : en modifiant ses habitudes d'achat, le consommateur peut contraindre un géant industriel à revoir ses plans et affirmer un véritable contre-pouvoir.

Le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen, un mouvement d'expression et de colère qui fait pression sur les gouvernements et les entreprises les plus puissantes. Notre nouvel épisode de notre série sur les boycotts ayant changé l'histoire s'arrête sur trois lettres : B.D.S. pour boycott, désinvestissements et sanctions. Un mouvement né il y a tout juste 20 ans, le 9 juillet 2005, pour inciter Israël à respecter les droits des Palestiniens et mettre fin à sa politique de colonisation. En 2005, c'est, à l'époque, du moins on l'espère, un moyen de parvenir à la paix. Cet été-là, Israël prépare son désengagement de la bande de Gaza : « Nous sommes là parce que ce retrait n'apportera aucune paix. Que ferez-vous le jour du retrait ?  - Que ferons-nous ? Attendez, vous verrez ! ». L'opposition des colons comme ici dans ce reportage sur France 2 n'y change rien : après 38 ans d'occupation, l'État hébreu se retire de l'enclave palestinienne.  Sauf que dans le même temps, les violences ne cessent pas et que la colonisation israélienne s'accélère sur un autre territoire palestinien : la Cisjordanie. Le mur construit depuis 2002 par l'État hébreu - dont le tracé est décrété illégal dans un avis consultatif de la Cour internationale de Justice (CIJ) le 9 juillet 2004 - déborde toujours un peu plus dans les territoires palestiniens. C'est dans ce contexte, le 9 juillet 2005, que 170 ONG et syndicats palestiniens lancent le mouvement « BDS ». Omar Barghouti, le fondateur du mouvement, énonce ses trois revendications : « Notre mouvement appelle Israël à mettre fin à l'occupation des territoires occupés depuis 1967, à se retirer des colonies et à détruire le mur de séparation. Notre deuxième exigence, c'est l'arrêt du système de discrimination racial contre les citoyens palestiniens à l'intérieur même d'Israël. Enfin, la troisième et la principale, c'est de reconnaître et de permettre le droit au retour des réfugiés palestiniens. » BDS, pour Boycott-Désinvestissements-Sanctions Le mouvement, qui se veut « non violent » et s'inspire des méthodes héritées de la lutte anti-apartheid en Afrique du Sud, appelle à boycotter les produits fabriqués en Israël et dans les colonies. Ses partisans réclament des sanctions contre l'État hébreu. Ils mènent des campagnes pour inciter des entreprises comme Orange ou Microsoft, impliquées dans les territoires occupés, à désinvestir. Des États-Unis à la Belgique, de la France au Royaume-Uni, le mouvement gagne les universités, les syndicats et le monde de la culture. Des institutions, comme le puissant fonds de pension de Norvège, se retirent de certaines entreprises liées à l'occupation des territoires palestiniens. Mais au-delà de ces cas très médiatisés, les conséquences économiques pour Israël restent limitées, comme le raconte en 2015, le correspondant à Jérusalem de Radio France : « Certes, l'agriculture israélienne dans la vallée du Jourdain a connu une baisse de chiffre d'affaires de 14 % l'an dernier, mais l'agriculture ne représente qu'à peine 1 % du PIB de l'État hébreux. Et parallèlement, les échanges commerciaux entre l'Europe et Israël ont doublé ces dix dernières années. » D'autant que le même temps, Israël accuse les activistes de nourrir l'antisémitisme et qu'un peu partout, c'est une autre bataille se livre, cette fois-ci devant les tribunaux : en France, l'appel au boycott d'Israël est même un temps décrété illégal. La décision sera désavouée en 2020 par la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme. Depuis les attaques du 7 octobre 2023 et la guerre dévastatrice menée par Israël dans la bande de Gaza, qui vaut à l'État hébreu des accusations de génocide, de crimes contre l'humanité et crimes de guerre, le BDS note « une croissance sans précédent » de ses campagnes. Mais dans les faits, jamais depuis le début du mouvement il y a 20 ans, Israël n'aura semblé céder aux pressions. Le pays a même, au contraire, accentué sa politique d'occupation et d'annexion des territoires palestiniens, en violation du droit international.

Nouvel épisode de la série les grands boycotts de l'Histoire, où quand des mouvements sociaux et politiques utilisent l'arme économique pour lutter contre l'oppression. De l'Irlande à Israël en passant par l'Inde, du lait en poudre au pétrole et aux bus de Montgomery, le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen, un mouvement d'expression et de colère qui continue de faire peur même aux plus puissants. Pour ce quatrième épisode, retour sur le boycott anti-apartheid en Afrique du Sud. En 1994, l'ANC remporte les premières élections démocratiques multiraciales. Nelson Mandela devient le premier président noir du pays. « C'est l'un des moments les plus importants de la vie de notre pays, lance-t-il lors de son discours de victoire. Je me tiens ici devant vous, empli d'une profonde fierté et d'une grande joie : fierté envers les gens ordinaires et humbles de ce pays. Vous avez fait preuve d'une détermination calme et patiente pour reconquérir ce pays qui est le vôtre. Et joie de pouvoir proclamer haut et fort : enfin libres ! » Nelson Mandela salue ainsi des décennies de lutte du peuple sud-africain contre l'apartheid. Une lutte qui a aussi reçu un soutien international de plus en plus important au fil du temps. 1959, la campagne anti-apartheid est lancée à Londres Dès 1959, des exilés sud-africains, soutenus par des syndicats britanniques, des étudiants ou encore des mouvements féministes répondent à l'idée lancée par Albert Luthuli (alors président de l'ANC et futur prix Nobel de la paix) et appellent depuis Londres au boycott des produits d'Afrique du Sud, pour protester contre la ségrégation raciale. Lors d'un discours à l'Université de Stanford, aux États-Unis, des années plus tard, le futur archevêque du Cap, Desmond Tutu (également récompensé du prix Nobel de la paix, en 1984), en résumera la logique. « Pour l'amour de Dieu, ceux qui investissent en Afrique du Sud doivent savoir qu'ils soutiennent et renforcent l'un des systèmes les plus brutaux qu'ait jamais connu le monde. » L'homme d'Église tourne aussi en dérision des arguments avancés par certains dirigeants des pays qui rechignent encore à imposer des sanctions économiques contre Pretoria : « Ils disent "oh, vous savez, les noirs seront les premiers à en souffrir, ils seront les plus durement touchés" », avant de conclure d'une moue entendue, sous les éclats de rire du public, conquis par l'orateur. 1976, le choc de la répression contre les manifestants de Soweto Le boycott anti-apartheid a pris de l'ampleur après la répression de la révolte de Soweto. Le 16 juin 1976, des milliers d'écoliers descendaient dans les rues du township de la banlieue de Johannesburg pour protester contre l'obligation d'apprendre l'afrikaans, sur le point de devenir la langue d'enseignement dans toutes les écoles noires. Une langue perçue comme celle de l'oppresseur. Ce soulèvement, réprimé dans le sang, a été un tournant décisif dans la lutte contre l'apartheid. Et participera aussi à amplifier le boycott anti-apartheid à l'international. À lire aussiAfrique du Sud : 16 juin 1976, la révolte de Soweto Années 1980, le boycott prend de l'ampleur à l'international Dans les années 1980, des dockers australiens et états-uniens refusent de décharger des marchandises venues d'Afrique du Sud. En France, on boycotte les oranges de la marque Outspan, accusée de profiter de l'exploitation des noirs. Plusieurs multinationales finissent par se retirer du pays, comme la banque britannique Barclays, en 1986, et avant elle Kodak, Coca-Cola, IBM ou encore General Motors. À l'intérieur du pays aussi, le boycott est particulièrement suivi. En 1988 et 1989, les Sud-africains noirs cessent par exemple d'acheter dans les magasins de Boksburg, près de Johannesburg, pour protester contre la politique ségrégationniste de la municipalité. Les boutiques sont désertées. L'équipe municipale finit par perdre sa majorité. Le boycott national et international du régime de l'apartheid pèse de plus en plus sur l'économie, et finit par accélérer sa chute. La dernière loi ségrégationniste est abolie en 1991. Nelson Mandela devient président trois ans plus tard. À lire aussiAfrique du Sud : 30 ans plus tard, que deviennent les enfants de la liberté ?

Dans un nouvel épisode de notre série sur les boycotts ayant changé l'histoire, retour sur un évènement qui a marqué la lutte pour les droits civiques aux États-Unis : en 1955, à Montgomery dans l'Alabama, la jeune activiste noire Rosa Parks refuse de céder sa place à un homme blanc lors d'un trajet en bus. C'est le début d'un large mouvement anti-ségrégation et d'une longue campagne de boycott des bus. Une mobilisation de masse, courageuse, qui restera gravée dans l'histoire et qui va permettre à une autre figure d'émerger : un certain pasteur nommé Martin Luther King.

Dans notre série sur les grands boycotts de l'Histoire, David fait trembler Goliath en usant de l'arme économique. De l'Irlande à Israël en passant par l'Afrique du Sud ou l'Inde, du lait en poudre au pétrole en passant par les bus de Montgomery, le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen. Pour ce deuxième épisode, retour sur le boycott du tissu britannique par les indépendantistes indiens.   

Boycotts are more than withdrawals—they are declarations. In this talk, Nekima Levy Armstrong reflects on how we, as conscious consumers and community members, can reclaim our power by refusing to fund injustice. Together, we'll explore how discernment, protest, and hope can shape a more just and accountable world. The post What We Refuse to Buy: Choosing Justice in a Culture of Convenience appeared first on First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis.

Niall wonders if boycotts actually work or make a difference

Niall wonders if boycotts actually work or make a difference

The phrase “as American as mom and apple pie” once described something wholesome and unquestioned. It evoked family, community, and tradition. Today, critics recast those same images as coded language for oppression. The cultural consensus of the 1980s and 1990s is no longer neutral. Under the modern lens, it is marked as racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and even fascist. When normal life is reframed as oppressive, nearly everyone outside a narrow ideology is implicated. There is no neutral ground.This new moral order assumes that redefining words and policing behavior can control hearts and minds. But humans resist control. They push back when cornered, often out of spite. This explains why cultural campaigns produce backlash. Boycotts of brands like Bud Light or Target were not about products. They were expressions of rebellion against being told nostalgia for one's own culture is immoral. Ironically, by declaring traditional symbols dangerous, activists turn them into emblems of resistance. The harder the effort to erase them, the more stubbornly they endure.The Sydney Sweeney controversy makes this clear. American Eagle ran an ad with the slogan “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” A simple pun was read as promoting eugenics because the actress is blonde and blue-eyed. Some labeled it fascist-coded. Others mocked the outrage. Sales rose. Even harmless ads are now treated as ideological tests. Extreme marketing thrives in this environment. Outrage spreads faster than approval, and controversy drives profit. Every purchase feels like a political vote.The same dynamic plays out in policy. When police are framed as fascists, enforcement is weakened. Sanctuary cities, meant to protect, often signal weakness. Game theory predicts predators will exploit these gaps. Crime rises where enforcement falls. Meanwhile, suburban and rural residents watch calmly from a distance. They are armed, skeptical, and detached, expecting failure.The paradox deepens. Sanctuaries meant to shield undocumented immigrants often concentrate them where they are easiest to target. Federal agencies treat these cities as stocked ponds. Publicly, city leaders condemn enforcement. Privately, they cooperate to maintain order. Businesses notice instability and leave, hollowing out local economies.These policies resemble United Nations mandates: bold in language, weak in power. They depend on the very systems they oppose to keep functioning. They are more about virtue signaling than effective governance. The result is a cycle. Redefining normality breeds resentment. Resentment fuels backlash. Backlash drives polarization. Ideological policies create chaos, forcing quiet compromises that expose their limits.This conflict plays out like an old film gag. The cigar burns, everyone smiles, and the explosion is inevitable. Attempts to control culture through moral pressure do not end as expected. The backlash is already here, seen in quiet decisions, empty storefronts, and eroding trust. The old symbols of America persist—not because they are flawless, but because they are human and resistant to erasure.Mom and apple pie remain. Not as propaganda, but as things people hold onto when everything else is called into question.
