I’ve been looking at heated gloves and nearly bought $150 set from Amazon. Hypothetically, if I’d rather not support companies enabling fascism, where’s a good place to buy a pair?

Get wrecked, Disney. Pulling Kimmel’s show is capitulation to fascists. Companies need to defend free expression, not reward intimidation.✌️

Columbia University to lay off some 180 researchers amid Trump squeeze Columbia University said Tuesday it was laying off around 180 researchers amid a funding squeeze prompted by President Donald Trump's move to strip the Ivy League institution of $400 million.

Caving to fascist demands didn't solve your problems, huh? Maybe try growing a backbone @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
