Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

I don't think it's possible to live in the U.S. and boycott services. Boycotting goods, however, seems achievable.

Some Canadians are boycotting U.S. products in protest of looming tariffs “It’s a drop in the bucket,” an Ontario business owner said. “But it’s the only thing we can do.”

Ask yourself this. If you, as an American, are pleased that folks in other countries are protesting our asinine administration by boycotting U.S. goods ... why aren't YOU boycotting U.S. goods? Buy imports. Make a statement.

With Trump, it's all about the optics. The luddites that follow him will credit him with "the art of the deal". In 3 years the constitution will be so perverted that Trump will be either running for a 3rd term, or he will be king. So it was a personal victory, not a "win" for the US.

Costco shareholders reject an anti-DEI measure, after Walmart and others end diversity programs Costco's public support of DEI programs contrasts with positions taken in recent months by other big U.S. brands

Been a proud Costco member for over 20 years. Love shopping there, and I love Costco's commitment to DEI.

"In the weeks since he won the election, Trump and his transition team have been quietly walking back some of his most significant commitments — a reflection of how unrealistic they were to begin with."

Johnson says Capitol flags will be flown at full-staff during Trump inauguration Flags are supposed to be lowered for 30 days to honor former President Jimmy Carter.

Republicans consistently expose themselves as the whiniest, most childish, fit-throwing narcissists that have ever walked the earth. Welcome to four years of caring about nothing but optics.

When a hurricane struck North Carolina, Republicans lied about FEMA.
When a terrorist attacked New Orleans, Republicans lied about immigration.
When wildfires hit Los Angeles, Republicans lied about fire dept. funding and DEI.
Exploiting tragedy is part of the GOP playbook. Helping victims is not.

Can Trump Really Just Rewrite The Reality Of January 6? As Trump readies his J6 "day one" pardons, how can we ensure history tells the truth about that day?

On January 7, 2021, Trump called the Capitol riots a “heinous attack” and promised accountability for the rioters. Today, he’s painting them as heroes and promising pardons. The Big Picture breaks down how Trump and his allies have tried to rebrand Jan. 6—and why we can’t let it go unchallenged.
