19 companies pulling back their support for Pride For years, major corporations publicly celebrated the LGBTQ community.

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including:

Dyson
Nivea
Tiffany & Co.
Capital One
UPS
Disney
DoorDash
Live Nation
Nissan
Citi

Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

โ€œIf theyโ€™re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???โ€

Because theyโ€™re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

I appreciate this because itโ€™s also applicable to those of us not pulling 6 fig salaries, who others will sometimes try to shame for shopping ๐Ÿ›’ at the only places we can afford.

I'm always so amazed when I hear Americans say
"health care is a privilege, not a right."
Like how do you reach a point in your life where you think people deserve to die because they can't afford healthcare.

USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said โ€œhow are we going to pay for it?!โ€

Donโ€™t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Can someone please explain to me why masking is not required in NICUs and PICUs (among other places)? These are very vulnerable patients. And one in 5 children and adolescents with Covid-associated hospitalization are admitted to ICU. We must protect our babies and children!

Always exciting to see people building collective energy but I hope this doesnโ€™t end with just gathering people up to funnel them back into the arms of the same old warmongering corporate Dems, incremental empty promises and eventually a campaign run on no more than โ€œlesser of two evils.โ€

Notice how this article doesnโ€™t make the worried โ€œmoderatesโ€ specify what they mean by โ€œtug the party left.โ€ What issues are they worried about, exactly? Civil rights? Womens rights? Economic rights? LGBTQ right? Letโ€™s be clear.

Jeffries and Schumer need to resign. (Whenever Chuck can spare a moment from focusing on his new book sales).

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

This is what all the campus beat downs, police brutality, and unnecessary arrests of the past year have led to: opposing US foreign policy is a crime.
