well shit… i need abbot glucose sensors 😔😞
You don’t have to be perfect in a boycott. Avoid what you can, not what you can’t.
This is so important! Don’t let it overwhelm you.
I wonder if he keeps whining about the CHIPS act because Intel didn’t pay him his bribe?
Private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group each donated $500,000, potentially positioning themselves to benefit from Trump’s planned immigration policies. GEO Group’s executive chairman, George Zoley, explicitly acknowledged these benefits, stating: “We believe that the private sector will play a critical role in assisting the government in carrying out its objectives…The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country’s history and the opportunities that it will bring.”
Absolutely heinous
Pretty sure Tim Apple of Apple Cook computers donated a cool million to Trumps inauguration as well, which is weird as Trump is trying to destroy gay people and Tim Apple is in fact quite gay.
In the article, it’s explained why Trump did it. When Trump was first elected, he also maintained a cordial relationship with him to secure benefits for Apple. Is this something to praise? Absolutely no! But is it understandable? For me, it is. Tim Cook also made a statement defending Apple’s core values of equanimity and equality, even after Trump halted equality policies in American companies. You should check what Google and Meta said instead.
added to list, although from the article this was a personal donation from Cook himself, Apple itself was not expected to make any donations.
British American Tabacco: $10 million
That explains why they took off the research on the dangers of Tobacco from the gov’s website.
Are you fucking serious?
Everything has a price.
Your list gives a much clearer picture of the enemy. Thank you!
Never heard of Timothy Mellon. Seems like a delightful guy based on a quick internet search…
That would be CRAZY if some of these people who donated MILLIONS of Dollars to Trump were now in Positions of Government Power! CRAZY!

Wild to see them high up the list - who knew Skinwalker Ranch was generating that amount of money? OK, it isn’t, but still…
Earlier I shared this with a friend as it pretty much underlined how weird things have got:
The US Department of Education intends to lay off nearly half of its workforce. The layoffs of 1,300 people were announced by the department on Tuesday and described by the education secretary, Linda McMahon, as a “significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system”.
…
Trump campaigned on a promise to close the department, claiming it had been overtaken by “radicals, zealots and Marxists”. At McMahon’s confirmation hearing, she acknowledged that only Congress has the power to abolish the agency but said it might be due for cuts and a reorganization.
I suspect most of us would rather take an unprotected chair shot to the head than whatever this nonsense is.
I presume Vince’s pardon is already drawn up awaiting a signature.
thanks for letting me know where my money goes. good information to promote, whether you want to support, not support, or don’t care afterwards. information should be clear
Not Paradigm!!
