This is an app I started using to look up the political leanings of brands. It’s called Goods Unite Us. You can search individual companies and see how much they donate to political parties. Here were some standouts from my initial searches ⬇️ - ThreadSky

That’s all the screenshots I took. Just a bunch of random brands that popped in my head. Hopefully this was helpful to look through. It was definitely interesting, there were some surprises, some not surprising.

I’m a little surprised about old navy but a lot of my staples come from there so I’m pleased.

i’m surprised about starbucks given schultz…

Yeah.

I’ve been finding that these results are definitely not black or white. Like Trader Joe’s for example. They donate significantly more to democrats, but they also recently pulled DEI initiatives. But they would be the lesser of two evils if you’re choosing between them and Walmart.

It’s definitely a lesser of two evils with almost all of these.

Same, I was pleasantly surprised because probably half of my clothes if not more, come from Old Navy.

I’ve switched from target for kids clothes to old navy because of this!

And they have sales so frequently, I rarely have to buy anything at full price.

I know it’s fast fashion but I usually only buy a few items here and there and honestly I have old navy clothes from years ago.

emily-c-r.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Old Navy has a lot of cute boys clothes! I liked Target’s kids brand (Cat & Jack) but I’ll try to buy from ON now. Carter’s doesn’t donate either way so I feel better about them too.

Five Guys, Arby’s, Benefit Cosmetics, Homegoods

Here are more companies I looked up. Home Depot would be the one to avoid the most out of these.
