    Those companies also helped create this situation l. I’m glad they’re suffering like the rest of us. We’re in this together.

    Would love to see an overlay of their political support for the extremists in power vs. now having to potentially pay the bill for supporting them. Target was cool walking back it’s LGBTQ public alignment when it became unpopular, where did they think racist, violent authoritarianism was going to go? “Uhhh not this far, this is like scary…to our future profits”

    Fuck these companies.
