Even Jeff Bezos’ fish wrap realizes that pardoning insurrectionists just put a bunch of treasonous criminals back on the streets.
A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances
We were having a family discussion about where our money goes – and doesn’t – these days.
We don’t hit up TrumpBurger (McDonalds) unless we are out and about and there just isn’t another choice (so far, so good). I buy a lot less Coca-Cola since they became ICE snitches. Target used to get about $150 a week from us. We can’t avoid them completely but they haven’t gotten even that weekly amount in total since they killed their DEI programs, and nothing over the past couple weeks.
Seems like we aren’t alone in this. Which is great since obviously no one is gonna move the needle based on my financial contribution alone.
But it goes other places too. I don’t give to NPR anymore. I probably should since, sure, they aren’t FOXNews but…. They have gone way out of their way to comply with the worst of us, in favor of mocking dead school kids, repeating outright administration lies without clarification, etc. They might not be my enemy, but they sure as hell aren’t my friend either.
John Leguizamo is trying to orchestrate boycotts aimed at certain companies to show them folks are paying attention to their actions. Not sure if this works or not. There is money to be made in hate these days but I just do not want to reward horrible behavior.
Trump funding freeze halts decades of U.S. democracy work around the world
Odd, a bunch of fake religious types hired a felonious child rapist to represent them, and he goes and destroys generations of assistance without a single peep from them.
Go figure.
It’s Time to Start a Real Nationwide Resistance Movement
It shouldn’t take a Wisconsin brewer to make more of a push to fight back against fascism than the entire Democratic party, but that’s where we are these days.
What you can do: Ten ways to resist Trump II
Robert Reich has some good ideas in how to survive in this hellscape. Or at least some plans on how to hold back the worst of it.
Most of them boil down to being a good person, neighbor, citizen but that’s honestly in short supply these days.
The Reinvention of Jan. 6
Lies. Pardon. Insurrection as peace.
What a country.
PBS shutters DEI office
Fuck PBS for obeying in advance.
‘We’ll all have to go vegan’: Wisconsin dairy farmers fret over immigration crackdown
This is actually a surprisingly level-headed article. Granted it is isn’t US media but I am shocked *anyone* is still doing journalism at this point.
Herein we meet farmers who, despite their politics, know their industry is about to get kicked in the teeth. Sure, some are still for making the US a white ethnostate and I wish them nothing but the same pain they wish on others.
This week in Google
Remember this slogan?
Yeah, once upon a time Google used to operate by this singular standard.
These days? Not so much. As of today, this is what they are calling the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, they are sucking up to Trump.
Over at Google Calendar, they are removing Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage Month, among others. Their “reasoning”? It is all too hard to keep track of. You know, the site that catalogs the whole ass internet can’t sort a few hundred days properly.
We have a LOT of rich tech folks getting on their knees for an old racist.
NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl
Remember back in 2019 when the Navy covered up the name of the John S. McCain so as not to offend Trump’s fragile ego? Yeah, this is a lot like that.
The NFL is not going to use the “End Racism” slogan at the edge of the end zone like they’ve been doing since 2020 because Trump wants to go the Super Bowl.
Not a single institution in this nation has the spine to stand up against this racist. Not one. We deserve whatever is coming I guess.
We are gonna do a movie marathon instead on Sunday. Fuck these enabling shits.
