What brands should we NOT boycott? (lemm.ee)

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

Yeah. Lots of people didn’t vote because we had two evils. The greater evil won…

You cant run a candidate who supports a far right wing genocide from the left and expect to win. Its really that simple. It'll probably be that simple next time as well.

What we need is Russian and israeli influence kept out of the US government with no exceptions. Zionist influence on the dems is why Harris lost, not some 'voters dont understand that voting for evil is just necesssary' like you pretend. Stop telling the voters they need to be ok with war crimes. Thats cowardly BS. I'll never be OK with murder and you shouldnt ever be either.

Russia and Israel do not control the US Empire. Both have a minor fraction of the power and wealth of the US, it is not that easy to influence US policy. The US's relations with other countries are dominated by the US.

The US props up Israel not because the US is controlled by Israel, but because Israel secures the US's interests in the Middle East via massive terror campaigns.
