They need to add Walmart, with the most employees needing SNAP & Medicaid to make it.
They pay employees 'starvation wages'.

Why not Walmart?Or all the other MAGA stores owned by the billionaires?
Americans should really talk to the French to learn how it’s really done.
Solidarity is really not an American thing
Americans don’t realize the power they have
Mainstream media make it feel like it would be the end of the world

Why are they always excluded from the boycotts? They are literally the worst of them all.

We're headed into the holiday season, so two things to know:
- The only items in the store that are more expensive due to tariffs are: two leather bookmarks. The other 2,100 gift items and 47,000 books haven't gone up. thehauntedbookshop.com
- A trip to a local bookshop is a present in itself 📚❤️

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, sex assaults in several states, FBI says
FBI urges agencies to ensure officers clearly identify themselves and cooperate when civilians ask to verify an officer’s identity—including by allowing calls to local police
