Merry boycotting: US shoppers avoid Trump-aligned businesses amid holiday season

Source: Guardian [UK]

It’s the busiest shopping season of the year – and a time when many are trying to figure out where to ethically spend their money.

Over the first year of Trump’s second term, companies and institutions have fallen in line with the administration’s anti-DEI and anti-immigration policies. As a result, people are supporting economic boycotts to show their discontent with the businesses capitulating to the president.

Over the Black Friday weekend, the groups behind the No Kings protests – the largest days of mass protest in recent memory – put their weight behind a campaign called We Ain’t Buying It, calling on people to not shop at Target, Home Depot and Amazon during the marquee week of holiday deals.

I'm all in for boycotting fascist-friendly MAGA supporting business, both large and small.

It would be great if MSNBC would tune out this sensationalist Murdaugh 💩 and cover some real news.

Just saying…

REEK! 🤣

So this happened this morning on CNN…

John Berman: Can I just say one more thing about Ted Cruz there? It's, like, 7:28am. Ted Cruz, do you know where your spine is? I thought he handled it better in 'Game of Thrones' when he was Theon Greyjoy to Ramsay Bolton, there. Honestly, that was like Reek! It was like the same as watching Reek in 'Game of Thrones' there, how he was addressing him. The power structure there.

Brianna Keilar: Did you just call him Reek?

Berman: I was so uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable watching that.

Keilar: That is SUCH an apt metaphor!

Berman: Well, if the shoe fits or the codpiece fits…

Keilar: I don't know. I think that, you know, Tucker Carlson will be picking his teeth this morning with Ted Cruz's spine, is sort of what I think.
