Great new newsletter from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social. Please, my American friends, boycott these companies, if you can. Of the companies mentioned in the article only Amazon is active here where I am, and I'm already avoiding them as much as I can.

Or everyday people reminding the nation what it means to be American. Here are their stories:
