or providing documentation.

This list perpetuates at least one allegation of supporting Trump that was disproven perhaps a month ago.

Taco Bell is owned by YUM. Earlier allegations that the YUM CEO supported Trump were proven false. The Trump supporter is the CEO of Muy! a company that owns several Wendys, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut franchises - not the parent companies. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/11/fact-check-franchise-owner-not-wendys-ceo-gave-400-k-trump-2020/5342047002/

So boycotting Taco Bell (or all the YUM companies) includes boycotting franchise owners who may well support Biden.

Since at least that one sloppiness (that was proven incorrect) is in your list, it would be best to either delete the list, or to find a source that has fully vetted each, so innocent (or even supportive) parties do not get caught up in overzealous boycotts based on inaccurate information.
