Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

marginalized communities have been telling the world this for a very long time - most (but not all) corporations DO NOT CARE for true solidarity - if they cannot profit off of it, they will not support it.

#community over convenience.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

1) cancelled my Amazon prime subscription
2) deleted twitter and FB messenger apps
3) opened a credit union account

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

Love a diminishing return. Please give me a little less than you did before. You gave me so much initially. It would be inconvenient to keep giving me the same amount. My hands are nearly full

This is NOT NORMAL, folks.

These billionaires are planning to use the Trump Administration to milk every penny they can out of the rest of us.

We need to have a united front on this, regardless of party.

This is workers vs. oligarchs now. #StopTheOligarchy
