I don't understand that people can't see that when your party has unpopular policies, it repels voters. Making it hard to vote and gerrymanders are attempts to keep their power without changing their unpopular policies.

Chubb insurance can't claim to be a "steward of the earth" while insuring methane terminals that hurt people and planet. Chubb: it's match point and the ball is in your court. 🎾 Listen to communities and stop insuring Freeport LNG NOW! #ChubbAtTheOpen #USOpen

Did you know that GoFundMe is profiting off of our pain while remaining silent on data privacy? That's right. On top of the company's 2.9% plus 30 cents fee on every donation, they have the audacity to set a default tip--usually a whopping 15%. Well not anymore.

I agree. I've boycotted Amazon for 3 years and don't expect toever shop there again. Also boycotting Hobby Lobby, ChickFilA (or however they spell it) and Target, although I hope to go back there someday.
