Home - Goods Unite Us At Goods Unite Us, we run political background checks on thousands of brands and companies so you can put your money where your vote is.

Friends, we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good, but we can be more selective about where we spend our coin.

This link that lets you search a brand and see what’s up. Maybe it’s time to support companies that align closest with our values.

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From β€˜biggest crowd ever’ to β€˜normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes who is suing over Donald Trump’s executive order to ban birthright citizenship:

"This is bizarre. This a bizarre attempt to undermine 150 years of jurisprudence and the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution."

Nailed it!

This is the most meaningful (to me) video I have seen in months. This took courage, focus, and dedication. I would urge you to watch...if you haven't already.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

β€œCowardice asks the question, β€˜Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, β€˜Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, β€˜Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect β€” it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.

Watch President Biden cross himself in reaction to the β€œpeaceful transfer of power,” and Vice President Harris is wearing all black.

I will miss Dark Brandon bringing on his epic shade.

When you know, you know.😭

I'm grateful to him for this moment of much-needed levity.
