Thank you for this! (I started out with the website, but inadvertently accepted cookies and closed it fast 😬) so the Seattle-area rundown from the Stranger was perfect.

ebrillhart.bsky.social•8 days ago

a few businesses that the stranger said were on there no longer are, which is also encouraging lol

Are there any other old archived lists for other areas? I presume that businesses that dropped from the list did not actually change their stance, they just went into hiding

ellencatalina.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup. I live in San Francisco. If I’m using this app correctly there’s only one brick and mortar business in my entire city listed here. There must have been blowback

To be fair, Trump's tariffs are going to be absolutely devastating to small business, so they might really have changed their minds. You know, only because it personally affected them.

Exactly. It’s not like they magically gained some empathy!

Did they change their views, or did they just realize that they'd made a marketing error?

pierrette1789.bsky.social•8 days ago

Either way is better than nothing.

It shows there is some efficacy in public shaming for bigotry.

I guess. I would still like to know whether I'm supporting a business whose profits and/or owners support causes I don't agree with.

I didn't enter my zip code, I just went to the map, zeroed in on my area, and the areas my friends and family members live.
