I am not sure anyone in corporate America isn’t a piece of shit. Maybe heads of smaller organizations and folks who work on the ground and have to interact with “real” people but we, just in the last week, have seen NPR, Nike, Target (again!), the St. Paul police department, and a host of other outfits either bending the knee or outright rooting and financing fascists and racists, if not being the shock troops for them.
Anyways, the main story here is about Campbell Soup hiring a guy who is an outright racist class war bigot. I’d be surprised, but, yeah, that tracks.

Biologist cautions next generation against trusting a career with the federal government
Well, they did it.
Republicans broke regular citizen’s trust of government. Now they are warning others never to trust the feds.
We could win back every major office, reorient the Supreme Court and it wouldn’t mean a goddamned thing because our best and brightest are done with the project. Call it a country, carve it up, and let’s let the idiots suffer in their hate-filled hellholes. We have a future to reclaim.

Charlie Kirk tributes run contrary to sports’ uniting power
This is almost refreshing given that almost all of the NFL and a lot of other sports teams have seen fit to honor a bigot and a racist.

‘Grave concern’ at Minnesota border as more Canadians stay home
This has been an abundant week of chickens coming home to roost stories.
First, this one about Minnesota border towns trying to take the hit from losing up to the 30% percent of their former Canadian traffic because they helped elect a racist megalomaniac. Granted, since they are protected by the rest of us, their electoral college votes didn’t do it, but you know damn good and well who they pulled the lever for.
In Alabama they are facing a combination of bad growing conditions and tariff/immigration trouble. I see videos of farmers in Alabama and Nebraska literally crying in public meetings hoping someone will help them from THE VERY CONDITIONS THEY VOTED TO CREATE! Foreign contracts are cancelled, tariffs are killing their supply of fertilizers and parts. Nah, suck it up. You wanted others to hurt, now share in it.
