And stop hiring Latino tradesmen!

ssgtmullitard.bsky.social•169 days ago

Seems kinda racist. Why them in particular?

skittishmactavish.bsky.social•169 days ago

Nothing to do with their race. Latino men gave Trump the election. They should have been loyal to the party that always looked out for them, and been loyal to their own race, that Trump denigrates and threatens continually.

anaj1.bsky.social•169 days ago

52% of white women voted for the orange scab. I will never understand.

skittishmactavish.bsky.social•169 days ago

Their rich white husbands vote for him for tax cuts and deregulation, so their massive stock accounts get more massive. The wives love their luxurious lifestyles and vote the way their husbands, who provide the lifestyle, tell them to.

ssgtmullitard.bsky.social•169 days ago

Fair.

whoadvertiseson.bsky.social•169 days ago

Yes be wary. Our guide for Black Friday is below. Basically: avoid Home Depot first since they really are the biggest GOP donors of all retailers. https://bsky.app/profile/whoadvertiseson.bsky.social/post/3lbmrjnc7ks2b

tracyc.bsky.social•169 days ago

I've never shopped at Walmart, Baskin Robbins isn't Häagen-Dazs & most others aren't in my venue.

feedmass.com•169 days ago

They cannot have people being different Spock. far too insecure for reality they are.

in truth i bet Trump doesn't care about this stuff .. its just the ongoing culture war BS to distract people while they get on with the main objective 👉 tax breaks & dash with the cash 💰

enuffisenuff.bsky.social•169 days ago

Find out what stores support what candidates with Goods Unite Us. Someone has already done the research for you!

debs1096.bsky.social•169 days ago

I HATE everything about Walmart but am forced to use them..the ONLY other store that will deliver is Smith's (kroger) another price gouging store. Im homebound and have no choice

debralinn.bsky.social•169 days ago

Absolutely...hit those pockets! Boycott!!!

mycuntryisded.bsky.social•169 days ago

A list of these corporations would be cool. I don't plan on buying anything but essentials anyway but don't need to be buying anything from the Nazi collaborators.

xiomara55.bsky.social•169 days ago

There needs to be a boycott list.

lloyd-frombriz.bsky.social•169 days ago

The challenge is to buy local for those things you really need and stop feeding the big corporations and the Trump tariffs. Clothes? Coffee pot? Charity store. Vegetables? The farmer just out of town who has a stand by the road. Strict mindfulness of where the dollars will go...

enuffisenuff.bsky.social•169 days ago

Allot of my local stores had Trump signs so nope.

lloyd-frombriz.bsky.social•169 days ago

Including the prison industry:

Corporations “obeyed” Hitler too and made tons of money enslaving millions of “untermenschen” to labor in their factories and fields.

sameastheold.bsky.social•169 days ago

This is an uphill battle because this is where the Reagan dream of unchecked capitalism was always going to take us. Capitalism is good, unregulated capitalism leads to massive wealth inequity and an inevitable Oligarchy. Everyone bows to god money now and I don't know how that genie gets put back.

smellydogzmom.bsky.social•169 days ago

They have welcomed the fascism of conservatives and shed their pretense of caring about diversity.

almarie-1.bsky.social•169 days ago

You know it I will not be spending my money at Walmart

crash-out-show.bsky.social•169 days ago

I will continue to not patronize their terrible businesses

fleurdelisa.bsky.social•169 days ago

Corporatism = fascism.

tidetrack17.bsky.social•169 days ago

Well, if you're not white, then you should not be shopping there ....

jpatricia.bsky.social•169 days ago

Both of those companies donate primarily to GOP. I check on the app GoodsUniteUs to see where to spend, or NOT to spend, my money! And I’m not spending it at those. We can continue to “vote” with our dollars.

americandefender.bsky.social•169 days ago

The Robbins family are Jewish. SHAME on them

lupuswarrior69.bsky.social•169 days ago

Oh they just waited for somebody to say that this was okay. And with Trump they got exactly that

darthmocap.bsky.social•169 days ago

Is "stopped pretending to care" the same as "caving to fascism"?

nycke1975.bsky.social•169 days ago

They get to raise prices and continue to fuck us all over. Now they get to do it with happy faces in our faces. Joy, joy right.

What could we ever do to them to actually affect a fuckin thing? I don't see much.

lasvegassam67.bsky.social•169 days ago

Refuse to shop at any of those places and tell everyone you know to do the same, that would be a start.

nycke1975.bsky.social•169 days ago

I do my best do shop places for my conscious but honestly it's gotten us literally no where. They're still winning and we're still paying out of our fuckin asses.

Now again, I'm always going to do my part but I'm getting tired of the wheel, ya know. This shits getting played out in real time now.

veronicasam13.bsky.social•169 days ago

I can't stop shopping at the every place that plays bad politics. There would be nothing left.

lf47.bsky.social•169 days ago

I’m going to try doing 25% local first for 3 months, then 50% for another 3 months,then 75% for another 3 months, then 100% in the last 3 months of 2025 this way I’m not setting myself up for failure, more realistic goal, using December 2024 to research and source my goods!👍🇨🇦

kelz-1985.bsky.social•169 days ago

I literally just said that I’ll never step foot inside any Walmart again.

newyorkcitygirl.bsky.social•169 days ago

General strike is coming soon. They will learn.

nanadoc.bsky.social•169 days ago

They seem determined to keep employing mediocre white men.

birdie56.bsky.social•169 days ago

Everyone needs to boycott all the companies that donated to Shitler's election

thehatedteacher.bsky.social•169 days ago

Yes!!!!!

remusjlupin2017.bsky.social•169 days ago

That's just it. They're not obeying. They're running the show. Mussolini said Fascism should be called Corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

dooleyappointed.bsky.social•169 days ago

https://goodsuniteus.com, URL and smartphone app. Shows how much companies donate to red, blue, or neither. Take a moment before you spend your hard-earned $$ and see if there's a blue or neutral choice. Obvious baddies are Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, Publix. Good: Harbor Freight, Thrifty Car Rental.

falkorfriend.bsky.social•169 days ago

It's the logical path.

outofduckstogive.bsky.social•168 days ago

They only respond to fear. They are a collection of the worse ideas formed into a corporation. It does not care, it's not a person and it will do anything to make $. Start showing them how they could pay for their transgressions or risk being eaten by them.

dmm1957.bsky.social•169 days ago

Yes! Boycott them and the next ones coming.

momoftwo.bsky.social•169 days ago

My son worked for Lowes and said they were rolling back their program.

gooddon.bsky.social•169 days ago

It worked out pretty well for A.G. Farben and Bayer, among others.

eileenvan.bsky.social•169 days ago

Home Depot, Walmart

techweenie.bsky.social•169 days ago

Build the boycott list!

cynicalhobbit.bsky.social•169 days ago

Check out the Goods Unite Us app

afemaphrodyke.bsky.social•169 days ago

I stopped shopping Walmart over 15 years ago, unless no one else has it. Next!

chicagocentrist.bsky.social•169 days ago

German conservatives did the exact same thing when Hitler took power.

sjcarde.bsky.social•169 days ago

Don’t really ever shop at Walmart

glyphgeek.bsky.social•169 days ago

Walmart didn't cave. The Grandchildren of Sam Walton, pissed about having to pay the people who made them rich (Iassume) have helped to orchestrate this whole nightmare. First by encouraging REITs to hoard trailer parks to ruin the poor people completely.

glyphgeek.bsky.social•169 days ago

Second, by funding campaigns to undermine the Arkansas public school system, & by using the Government assistance program limits to determine just how little they can get away with paying associates.
This DEI thing is exactly what they have wanted for years.

lasvegassam67.bsky.social•169 days ago

Aw, not Baskin Robbins.

peacockbruin.bsky.social•169 days ago

Let’s get these lists going of who to avoid. Happy to let my cash do the talking (while I still have some because, ya know, tariffs + mass deportations = skyrocketing prices).

enuffisenuff.bsky.social•169 days ago

Goods Unite Us gives you the info. Been changing all of my shopping patterns it that I know! can download the app!

Well, thanks!!!

robert4237.bsky.social•169 days ago

That’s my plan. I’m voting with my dollars now.

shellysralife.bsky.social•169 days ago

I’ve been trying to support local small businesses, now I’m doubling down. It’s hard to avoid the big corporations when they dominate so much off the landscape, but I’ll keep trying to avoid them!

frankkromm.bsky.social•169 days ago

As it was in the Third Reich, so it will be in the Fourth.

lf47.bsky.social•169 days ago

I hope someone can add to whom these companies belong to? I’m done giving big corp my hard earned moolah💴 just for them to raise prices constantly and then donate money to billionaires😟

jakesdaddio.bsky.social•169 days ago

I’m supporting local businesses as much as I can. For this very reason. I will not shop to help fascism.

tamela.bsky.social•169 days ago

Always because they worship the $$$ and are cowards. Facts be damned.

tripperday.bsky.social•169 days ago

I work for a Fortune 500 co. and we are redoubling our diversity values & programs. It’s a greedy corporation like them all, but it does some good things. And my colleagues would not stand for rolling back these gains.

kidvanguard.bsky.social•169 days ago

How?

benbrookjohn.bsky.social•169 days ago

We are slipping backwards on equality when we should be moving forward.

her1st.bsky.social•169 days ago

White executives are more than prepared to return to a policy of hiring the mediocre white man over any number of qualified POC.

grammyliz.bsky.social•169 days ago

I did not support Walmart, but now Baskin Robins/Dunkin donut joins the list

arbitrationstation.bsky.social•169 days ago

Trump would have created some law, executive order, something, do they might as well get it done before it becomes their issue. America voted for this.

gmrjr59bskysocial.bsky.social•169 days ago

No need... Trump's tariffs will do that for all of us.

coranch.bsky.social•169 days ago

dadishighagain.bsky.social•169 days ago

Shop local!

bradlovett.bsky.social•169 days ago

My local is largely MAGA too

robert4237.bsky.social•169 days ago

Absolutely!

markmcclane.bsky.social•169 days ago

fascism is a blend of church, state and corporation....
they have an interest in kowtowing to fascism because fascism aligns with them in suppressive ideology.

donmcgahan.bsky.social•169 days ago

Here's a little insight. They've been the fascists all along.

birdie2023.bsky.social•169 days ago

I find this app so helpful!

johnbgilman.bsky.social•169 days ago

I have a slightly different take on it. To my mind, US corporations were one of the most potent insidious forces behind the scenes pushing Trump's re-installation in the WH. Their media outlets sanewashing Trump's campaign is just one example. They are not obeying, they are dictating fascism...

stevepphill.bsky.social•169 days ago

Yes, they helped put the fascists in the White House

justmyperson.bsky.social•169 days ago

Omg, my thoughts exactly!

nancyspantsbelt.bsky.social•169 days ago

So lame!🙃💍🙃 Kissing the "short fingered vulgarian fingers".

julianimperatorus.bsky.social•169 days ago

I won’t be quite as harsh as “of course”. Last time, many companies stood firm against Trump’s whining. A lot of media was produced that implicitly criticized Trump and championed diversity. They’re caving so fast this time because Trump won again. 1//2

julianimperatorus.bsky.social•169 days ago

We, the electorate, bear some responsibility for this speed. These companies think the money is on Trump’s side, because by electing Trump again, we implicitly signaled support for him. It’s hard to stand when people are tugging on the rug under your feet. 2/…3 I guess)

julianimperatorus.bsky.social•169 days ago

In particular, I suspect the initial impression that Trump had won the popular vote has sent pure panic loose in these boardrooms. It will take time, and people voting with their wallets, to get it through to them that backing Trump is a bad bet.

shel81.bsky.social•169 days ago

Unfortunately there will be too many of them for us to boycott once this snowball starts rolling. We still need food and clothing.

warriorcitizen647f.bsky.social•169 days ago

Walmart's DEI program was always performative.
