NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

A trans teen in the UK was beaten and stabbed several times by a gang after a man she had sex with found out she was trans.
Gender criticals started blaming her for it and saying she deserved it. This is exactly the kind of hate they spread.

SCOTUS is wrong. Last year, I voted against the TikTok ban because I feared Congress getting into the business of shutting down media platforms in violation of the 1st Amendment. If implemented, this ban would impact 170 million Americans who use TikTok for news & entertainment.

Remember when Amazon said they wouldn’t donate to election deniers after Jan 6 and Meta banned Trump’s accounts?
Turns out they didn’t care about that at all, because they’ve now each donated $1M to Trump.
