Corporations aren’t moral or immoral. They’re empty machines built for one purpose: profit. That’s the creed. That’s the rot.

So when CBS axed Colbert, when ABC gagged Kimmel, when every network pre‑emptively bowed — they marked themselves. They showed us exactly who they serve.

And then came the Amazon wedding. Lauren Sanchez clutching her bouquet of cash like a saint of excess while U.S. aid cuts left infants dying. A gilded celebration in a graveyard. The truest image of our age.

So we hit them where it matters: the ledger.

No fire. No bullets. Just attention, dollars, and clicks. A million tiny refusals that snowball into a boycott big enough to make the machine choke.

When brands become liabilities, the market corrects itself. Trump, Musk, Thiel, Zuck — their empires can be voided like bad transactions.

But it starts with us. With starving the beast.

This is the boycott: a living list of collaborators and profiteers — banks, telecoms, gas stations, grocery chains — every company cashing in on the collapse.

Use it. Share it. Add to it. Every name is a pressure point. Every withheld dollar is a strike.

CBS and Paramount (NEW)

Oh CBS.

I grew up with you.

Cronkite. Rather. The 60 Minutes crew—most of whom are rolling in their graves right now.

When CBS said it, you could usually take it to the bank. If Ed Bradley or Mike Wallace filed a report, it had been vetted six ways from Sunday. Even Andy Rooney’s three minutes on why mustard lids are impossible—it was true, damn it.

Now?

Edited interviews.

Pulled segments.

Both-sides equivocation for a man who still calls you “fake news” and threatens your license when you don’t lie hard enough.

Your new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, is no journalist—she’s a minister of propaganda in a newsroom suit. Pulling stories that might make the regime look bad, turning a once-proud outlet into an access-chasing echo chamber.

Like the Washington Post before you, every capitulation debases your legacy a little more.

And Paramount—fuck you too.

I grew up on your movies.

Star Trek, boldly anti-authoritarian from warp core to hull plating.

Indiana Jones literally punching Nazis.

Top Gun celebrating American skill and service back when patriotism wasn’t a far-right dog whistle.

Now the company sits in quiet complicity, chasing ad dollars and regime favor while the country burns.

Empty vessels, all of you.

We don’t have to fund it.

Alternatives: Rabbit ears and an antenna for broadcast CBS (it’s free over the air). Used DVDs or Blu-rays of the good stuff—Star Trek, Indy, the classics that actually meant something.

Or just black it all out. No streams, no tickets, no clicks.

Your call.

But our money stops here.

Hampton Inn / Hilton (NEW)

Hampton Inn likes to talk about comfort, community, and hospitality.

What they mean is: not for everyone.

In cities with visible homelessness, Hampton Inn properties have quietly adopted policies that cancel or deny reservations if your address is “local.” Not because you can’t pay. Not because you broke a rule. Simply because you live nearby.

The justification is always sanitized:
“Safety.”
“Misuse of property.”
“Operational policy.”

The reality is simpler and uglier.

This is discrimination by proxy—a way to keep homeless people out without ever saying the word homeless. If you don’t look like a tourist, if you don’t fit the brand image, if your life doesn’t read as affluent and temporary, you’re treated as a problem to be filtered out.

It doesn’t matter if you’re housed.
It doesn’t matter if you’re employed.
It doesn’t matter if you’re traveling with your family.

A local address is enough to disqualify you.

That policy recently hit a journalist and his family in Asheville, but it wasn’t a mistake and it wasn’t a rogue clerk. This is how modern cruelty works: quietly, procedurally, with corporate deniability baked in.

Hampton Inn is owned by Hilton, a company that loves to publish statements about inclusion while enforcing rules designed to make poverty invisible.

Cities aren’t just playgrounds for visitors.
And “hospitality” that excludes the people who actually live there is just social cleansing with nicer fonts.

We don’t have to fund it.

Alternatives

• Locally owned hotels and motels that don’t screen guests for proximity.

• Independent inns, B&Bs, or guesthouses with transparent, humane policies.

• Short-term rentals run by actual residents—not corporate property farms.

Amazon (Prime, Ring Doorbells, Whole Foods, Washington Post): The Smash-and-Grab Empire

Walmart wrote the playbook in the 1970s: roll into town with cheap sneakers and predatory pricing, kill the local shops, then jack up prices once the competition’s dead. Walmart fumbled the ball in the digital age—but Amazon picked it up and sprinted into the end zone. Faster. Slicker. Meaner.

They became the everything store, the default option, the illusion of convenience. During the pandemic, those boxes on the doorstep felt like society itself—until we realized what we were really funding: the fascist normalization of corporate power.

Every Prime membership is a kickback to Jeff Bezos, who buys influence, launches vanity rockets, and parades his plastic decadence while workers piss in bottles and U.S. aid cuts kill infants. His smile is the smile of our gilded age: worship of money in a graveyard.

And here’s the kicker—Prime isn’t even a deal anymore. “Free shipping” is a lie. Prices are padded, convenience is surveillance, and the algorithm is quietly eating your paycheck. Cancel it. Don’t let the algorithm win.

🛎️ Amazon Ring: Surveillance as a Service

Amazon’s Ring has partnered with Flock Safety to give ICE and other federal agencies indirect access to private home footage—without warrants, oversight, or accountability. This isn’t convenience. It’s the blueprint for a digital Gestapo.

Once, they kicked in doors. Now they don’t have to. The surveillance state is built into the front porch of millions of homes.

Through Ring’s Neighbors app, agencies can post “community requests” asking residents to share footage tied to investigations—mapped zones, timestamps, case IDs, the works. Flock’s AI systems then let them search those feeds with phrases like “man in red hoodie” or “white pickup after 9 p.m.”—bypassing warrants entirely.

The result: a privatized dragnet that erodes the Fourth Amendment pixel by pixel. ICE and other agencies now enjoy indirect access to millions of private cameras—doorbells, driveways, even interiors.

This isn’t hyperbole. The Gestapo didn’t need consent. Now they don’t need presence. They’ve crowdsourced compliance through fear, apps, and “community safety.”

Don’t invite it in.

🥑 Whole Foods: Organic Oligarchy

That olive bar you love? It’s Amazon now—just another pipeline into the same corrupt bloodstream. Every dollar spent there flows from the register to Bezos to MAGA super PACs. The store that once preached “local and sustainable” now bankrolls the architects of collapse.

Alternatives: Farmers’ markets, Costco, Aldi. Keep your food chain clean.

🗞️ The Washington Post: Democracy Dies in the Boardroom

Once a proud institution. Now a Bezos accessory. They fired truth-tellers, platformed bootlickers, and “both-sidesed” authoritarianism until fascism sounded like a policy debate. Subscribing today isn’t supporting journalism—it’s subsidizing propaganda.

Cancel it. Read independent outlets. Support journalists who still believe the truth matters.

🚫 Boycott

Amazon • Prime • Ring • Whole Foods • The Washington Post

✅ Alternatives

Costco • Aldi • Farmer’s markets • Thrift stores • eBay / Mercari • Direct from manufacturers (find it on Amazon, then buy it off their site—it’s a gut punch to the goddamn oligarchs)

Prime Week isn’t a sale. It’s a shakedown.
Convenience is the bait. Surveillance is the hook.
And the catch? Your freedom, your wages, your future.

Media: The First Front

🧨 Media: The First Front

If I wanted to blow rainbows up your ass, I’d say:

“It’s easy to boycott now that all media’s been consolidated. Just boycott everyone.”

But that’s a lie. There are still cracks in the wall. Netflix hasn’t bent the knee. Yet.

And a lot of independent outlets for news still keep us informed, but what about the average viewer? Far too many people get their news only from mainstream media, which is why it’s a priority for our boycott. If every American were slightly more informed, we would not be living this nightmare.

And remember—this isn’t about hiding from content. It’s about starving the beast. If you can consume without feeding them, it’s fair game.

How to Ghost the Media Machine

📡 Over-the-air antenna TV: Free signal, zero profit.
💿 Used DVDs / Blu-rays / VHS: Secondhand = no revenue.
📚 Library checkouts: Borrow discs, borrow streaming—oligarchs get nothing.
🛡️ Ad blockers + off-grid streams: If you’re not funding them, you’re not feeding them.
🔄 Community swaps / archives: Thumbsticks passed like samizdat. Burned discs. Shared drives. Resistance media.

Why the First Amendment Matters

There’s a reason free speech is the First Amendment.

Without the right to speak—and to speak truth to power—you don’t get any of the others. When media kneels, every other right lines up to be gagged.

Why They Fear Comedy
Fascists fear laughter more than reporting.

A headline can be spun. A fact can be buried. But a punchline reduces the strongman to a clown—and once the people laugh, they can’t fear him the same way again.

That’s why ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel for mocking MAGA ghouls.
That’s why CBS axed Colbert—the smirk, the timing, the refusal to bow.
NBC’s already testing the waters, firing truth-tellers with a wink toward the throne.
Fox? They were collaborators from day one.

And yet Kimmel hits different. Colbert was the uncle you respected—wash your hands, straighten your collar, offer a firm handshake. Kimmel’s the brother you hug, hygiene be damned.

When they gagged him, the anger went from simmer to rolling boil. Nobody believes Jimmy Kimmel should be silenced. That fury? It’s righteous.

ABC / Disney

Disney / ABC (Updated Boycott Entry)

The irony of boycotting Disney is almost cinematic.

Star Wars — a galaxy-wide anti-fascist parable. Indiana Jones — a fedora-topped fist to the face of cartoon Nazis.

These franchises taught generations to resist tyranny. Now their parent company kneels before it.

Disney has always had fascist DNA. Long before Marvel and Lucasfilm, it pushed racism, sanitized slavery, and flirted with authoritarian chic. The “happiest place on Earth” was built on muzzled workers and whitewashed history.

Now the purge reached comedians. Jimmy Kimmel was gagged for mocking MAGA ghouls. Indy would sock the goose-stepping censors. Luke would light his saber in the dark. But Disney didn’t resist—they enforced.

Kimmel is back on the air. That didn’t happen out of goodwill. It happened because pressure works. Because boycotts work. Kimmel’s return is the canary in the coal mine: proof that when enough people say no, even giants bend. If one late-night host can be brought back, imagine what else we can win.

But here’s the problem: Disney lied about why they pulled him. And they’re still in business with Nexstar and Sinclair—two right-wing propaganda mills that serve as pipelines for authoritarian politics. As long as those contracts stand, Disney is partnering with fascist distributors.

So Disney stays on the list. Not as a permanent enemy, but with a simple way out: break ties with fascist distributors, empower independents, and stop muzzling voices for shareholder comfort.

That means:

• Cut ties with Nexstar and Sinclair.

• Reinvest in independent affiliates who inform, not indoctrinate.

• Commit publicly to free expression and newsroom autonomy.

Until then, every Disney dollar you spend props up a boardroom that decided profit under fascism was safer than freedom.

The irony? Star Wars taught us to resist empires. Indiana Jones taught us to punch Nazis. Disney’s boardroom chose to sign them instead.

Paramount Global / CBS

Paramount axed Stephen Colbert — proof they’ll torch their last shred of credibility for corporate comfort.

CBS bends to Trump so often I’m starting to think they enjoy it. Cheap thrills, maybe. Trump says “jump” and they ask, “where do we send the bribe?”

They’ve done it before: quietly shelving stories, giving him softball airtime, pretending his tantrums are policy.

This latest move just confirms they’ll sell out their own lineup if it keeps the boot happy.

Alternatives: A lot of media is quietly capitulating to Trump—but none so blatantly as these clowns. Anyone but them is an improvement.

Fox News/Fox Network

I left Fox off the first draft because, let’s be honest: anyone serious about resisting fascism and disinformation should’ve already cut ties.

But that was naïve. Fox is only one head of a hydra.

Every tentacle of the Murdoch machine is fair game. And remember: parts of that beast were sold to Disney in 2019—20th Century Fox, FX—so if it says “Fox” and it’s media, assume it’s tainted. Whether you’re boycotting Murdoch or Disney, you’re aiming at the same rotten target.

Fox didn’t just enable this mess — they wrote the playbook. They normalized propaganda as “news,” paved the way for deregulation, and turned lies into prime-time entertainment.

And now? They’ve sunk deeper.

Brian Kilmeade suggested homeless people should be murdered — literal words, not metaphor. Real people were harmed afterward. His punishment? Nothing.

No suspension. No apology. Just another day in the fascist funhouse.

No decency. No accountability. No more money.

MSNBC

Is it just me, or does it cut deeper when a company like MSNBC—after decades of branding itself as the “voice of liberal reason”—shows its true colors?

It’s Target all over again: sell yourself as the safe haven, the ally, the place that “cares.” Then, the second Trump so much as sneezes, you fold like a dollar-store lawn chair.

That’s what MSNBC did. And of the four networks, this one stings the most.

They fired Matthew Dowd after he criticized MAGA martyrdom in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Not because of a lawsuit. Not because of government pressure. But because they anticipated backlash and chose to preemptively kneel. Then they had the gall to call it a “values-based decision.” As if silencing dissent is a moral stance. As if cowardice is a virtue.

It wasn’t survival. It was voluntary capitulation. That’s why it burns.

As I said at the start of this guide: corporations are amoral. They aren’t “good” because they’re good. They aren’t fascist because they’re evil. They act in self-interest. Profit is the creed.

So no, feeling betrayed isn’t logical. But you and I aren’t corporations. We feel. We fight. We bleed. And I’ll admit it—this one feels like betrayal.

Do you feel it too?

Teen Vogue (and Conde Nast properties)

Some might hear “Teen Vogue” and think it’s just a smaltzy prom-prep magazine for teen girls—boys, lip gloss, and what to wear to the dance. And maybe that’s what it’s becoming now. But before the fascist hammer came down, Teen Vogue was something else entirely: a weirdly professional, deeply respected journalistic force. Their editorial board was stacked with sharp, progressive writers—many of them women of color, trans, queer—who covered climate collapse, labor strikes, campus politics, and billionaires with more clarity than most legacy outlets.

Then came the purge.

Condé Nast folded Teen Vogue into Vogue.com, dissolved its politics vertical, and laid off six unionized staffers—most of them BIPOC women or trans, including the politics editor. The union condemned the move as a deliberate attempt to blunt the magazine’s award-winning journalism at a time when it was needed most. That’s exactly what it was.

So now, in the collapse, teen girls won’t be told there’s anything beyond a white, Christian, heterosexual world. The sound box is gone. The mirror is cracked. And the teens who once read Teen Vogue—who knew better—have lost a vital signal in their lives.

We boycott not because the brand is weak, but because it was strong—and they killed it.

Boycott Condé Nast Brands

So maybe you don’t have a Teen Vogue subscription to cancel. But you do have a wallet. And Condé Nast listens to wallets.

Vogue • Teen Vogue • Vanity Fair • The New Yorker • Wired • GQ • Glamour • Architectural Digest • Bon Appétit • Allure • Condé Nast Traveler • La Cucina Italiana

This isn’t just about canceling a subscription. It’s about refusing to fund the erasure of radical voices. It’s about making collapse-era propaganda less profitable. It’s about remembering that Teen Vogue once printed some of the best Palestine coverage in the country—and they killed it.

Sinclair & Nexstar: The Evil Twins of Local “News”

(See boycott guide Addendum 5 at the end)

Yes, Trump has been silently weeping to himself over some joke Jimmy Kimmel did a million years ago. The weakest, most fragile, pathetic men never forgets a slight, so he’s been slow simmering for years, waiting for a chance to strike back.

I don’t even remember what the joke was. Maybe it was something about Trump being a conman, swindler, grifter, buffoon, clown, narcissist, demagogue, tyrant, fascist, bigot, racist, misogynist, xenophobe, egomaniac, blowhard, bully, coward, liar, cheat, fraud, crook, criminal, predator, degenerate, dictator, oaf, moron, idiot, jackass, puppet, stooge, sellout, charlatan, parasite, goblin, troll, monster, villain, madman, lunatic, dumpster fire, trainwreck, gasbag, megalomaniac, cult leader, strongman, fame addict, tantrum machine, Twitter troll, combover king, orange menace, Cheeto-in-chief, diaper dictator, Nazi cosplayer, Kremlin puppet, coup cheerleader, seditionist, tax dodger, casino clown, Sharpie vandal, truth assassin, democracy arsonist, history’s punchline. Something in that vein.

Regardless, thanks to these two horrible companies, he was able to get Kimmel fired. Ultimately, believe it or not, it could be his undoing, but first, we have to make these scumbags pay:

Sinclair and Nexstar aren’t news companies. They’re propaganda factories with better lighting. Each one buys up your local station, slaps on a “trusted hometown” label, and pumps out pre-written segments that sound like their straight from der Fuhrer’s mouth.

Sinclair scripts pro-Trump editorials and forces local anchors to recite them in eerie, synchronized broadcasts. Nexstar, now the biggest TV station owner in the country, floods local newsrooms with right-wing spin disguised as hometown coverage.

Both joined the Jimmy Kimmel purge. Not because comedy threatens democracy—comedy is democracy—but because a punchline makes the strongman look small. Fascists can survive facts. They can’t survive laughter. So Sinclair and Nexstar gagged the joke.

Like all twins in a bad horror movie, they amplify each other’s worst traits.

• Sinclair: 38 ABC affiliates, robotic anchors reading from the same fascist hymnbook.

• Nexstar: 200+ stations (CW, ABC, NBC, CBS), all leveraged to slip Trumpworld narratives into local newsrooms.

Together, they hijack trust and turn it into weaponized disinformation. See more on boycotting them both in Addendum 5 at the end of this guide.

What They’ve Done

• Forced anchors to parrot Trump-era propaganda

• Flooded markets with anti-immigrant fearmongering

• Poured millions into deregulation campaigns

• Joined the Kimmel purge—kneeling before King Krasnov to muzzle comedy

Fox is obvious. Sinclair and Nexstar are stealth. Grandma just wants the weather—and gets fear-porn about immigrants, drag queens, and “antifa mobs.” That’s how propaganda wins: through camouflage.

Check your local station’s ownership. If it’s Sinclair or Nexstar, cut the cord. No ratings, no clicks, no hate-watch views

Starve the twins

Every ad dollar they get is another nail in the coffin of free speech. Don’t fund your own gag order.

To pressure campaign these two companies by approaching their local advertisers, go here (but don’t forget to read the rest of this guide. A lot of cowards to reveal …):

Alternatives: Independent journalism. Public radio. Community news. Substack. Hell, pirate radio. At least pirates don’t kneel to the boot.

Skydance Movie Studio

Skydance is the movie studio merging with Paramount is greased by well-timed Trump bribes and Ellison family money.

Run by David Ellison—son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, a close Trump ally—Skydance is behind a slew of forgettable blockbusters. If it stars Tom Cruise and came out in the last five years, odds are it’s Skydance.

Bonus: Boycotting them also means boycotting Scientology. Two cults for the price of one.

Alternative: Studios that make good movies. If you want a decent Tom Cruise flick, try The Outsiders. That was about the last one.

Axios

Axios punishes anyone who tries to shine a light on fascism. That isn’t just enabling fascism. That is fascism.

In 2023, they fired a reporter for calling a DeSantis press release “propaganda.” Because it was.

That’s not journalism. That’s cowardice in service of power.

Here’s a clue: if you are protecting Ron fucking DeSantis, you are fascist.

When the far right demands silence, Axios complies. Journalism that fears the truth helps fascism grow.

Boycott.

Travel Fascists

United Airlines: Usually, to join the Mile High Club, you have to get in the air before they screw you.

But these bastards? They’ve been screwing us since boarding group one. Nickel-and-diming every mile, charging ransom for legroom, herding us like cattle through TSA cattle chutes, then pretending they’re shocked—shocked!—when people snap.

I left the airlines out of this Guide for a long time because there are no good guys here. It’s a cartel of misery wrapped in recycled pretzels and patriotic announcements. But when United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby waddles up to a podium and parrots Trump’s talking points about the shutdown—blaming the people, not the perpetrators—that’s when it stops being bad business and starts being propaganda.

That’s when you’re not just selling flights—you’re selling the myth of American competence while the fuselage is on fire.

They want applause for “keeping the skies open” while they bankroll lobbyists to gut regulation, underpay staff, and turn the cabin into a pressure-sealed anxiety chamber. It’s the perfect metaphor for the country: a slow, expensive descent with no one at the controls and the intercom repeating “We appreciate your loyalty.”

🧭 Where to Fly Instead (Or Don’t)

For now, they are the only one on the boycott list. But give them time. This list grows from direct genuflection to the fat turd of a wannabe dictator. Just wait, they will all do it, but for now, moving your ticket purchase to the others sends the right message: fuck off Scott Kirby. STFU.

For now, UA’s the lone sky-sucker on the list—direct genuflection to the fat turd of a wannabe dictator. Give ‘em time; the rest of them will kneel too. But reroute your ticket to Delta, American, or Southwest now: it’s a middle finger to Kirby. Fuck off, Scott. STFU.

Train It: Amtrak—union steel over UA’s strike scars. Slow? Sure. Read a book.

Convoy Up: Rideshares via trusted Signal cells or BlaBlaCar. Decentralized rebellion, zero recycled air.

Stay Planted: Root local, make your patch livable. Dignity in ditching the elite’s “mobility” scam—while they chase sunsets, you build fortresses. Because flying? It’s paying premium for someone else’s despair, pressurized and served stale.

And if you’re tempted to buy a ticket from the bastards, pull up that video of their CEO telling the lies, like Trump’s personal Ventriloquist’s dummy.

Internet Fascists

Here’s the problem: we need the internet. If we want to stay organized, connected, and alive as society crumbles, we need it. Same goes for phones. But the companies that provide these essential services? Bad, bad dogs. And they’ve all been pissing on democracy like it’s a fiber-optic fire hydrant.

• AT&T, Verizon, Spectrum (Charter), T-Mobile, Comcast: it’s one big corrupted swamp of fascist infrastructure. And while it might not be practical for everyone to boycott them entirely, you should know who you’re dealing with.

  There are smaller ISPs and mobile companies out there. We can’t list them all. But they exist, and at the very least, they don’t have the money or reach to help a coup succeed. That counts for something.

  These telecom titans aren’t just selling you overpriced service. They’re selling out the country. Their boardrooms are packed with lobbyists, their PACs bankroll insurrectionists, and their networks throttle, surveil, and silence all while pretending to be neutral utilities.

  1. AT&T: Worst of the Worst.

  First means worst here. Funded OANN. Poured money into voter suppression, anti-trans bills, and insurrectionist campaigns. They didn’t just enable fascism — they tried to make it trend.

  2. Verizon: Next Tier of Evil.

  Supports anti-LGBTQ+ politicians, helped kill net neutrality, and funds GOP extremists with a smile and a cell tower. The slickest fascism you’ll ever see in a commercial about “connection.”

  3. Spectrum (Charter): The Fake Progressive.

  Donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, backs far-right politicians, and fights community broadband like it’s a terrorist threat all while throwing rainbow logos at you in June.

  4. T-Mobile: Less Ideology, More Backroom Deals.

  Leans “purple” but plays both sides: CEO stayed at Trump’s hotel while begging for a merger, partnered with Kushner-linked firms, and shrugged its way through the Trump years.

  5. Comcast: The Corporate Chameleon.

  Owns NBCUniversal. Funds both parties. Looks apolitical, but still props up the infrastructure of oligarchy. A fascist enabler in business casual, but will a company that relies on left leaning dollars more than the others be more likely to be affected by a boycott? Maybe.

  ---

  This issue is far too complicated to fully discuss here without making this boycott list about the length of the Old Testament with just as much horror built in. But here’s my gut check:

  • Avoid the top three at all costs.

  • T-Mobile and Comcast are survivable if you’re stuck.

  • If you have a local or smaller option? Grab it with both hands.

  It might not feel like a revolution, but every dollar you deny these ghouls is one less megaphone for fascism.

Banking Fascists: The Money Behind the Madness

Let’s return to the core truth: corporations are amoral. But banks? Banks are the purest distillation of that amorality. They don’t feel. They don’t care. Any gesture of inclusivity, any “great deal,” is a performance. If you died tomorrow, they’d only notice if it disrupted their profit margin.Notes from the Apocalypse, 2025: Starve the Beast—Boycott the Banks

Banks aren’t just soulless—they’re the beast’s throbbing arteries, pumping cash to Krasnov’s cronies. Every “free checking” ad is a trap to fund fascism. They’d sell your kids for a bounced check. Starve them. Move your money. Every dollar you pull is a bullet in their gilded guts. Here’s the banking Hall of Shame:

Worst of the Worst

• JPMorgan Chase: Jamie Dimon, reminding me in both name and spirit of the little weasel guy from “Fast Times”, grins while bankrolling Krasnov’s voter purges, fossil fuel disasters, and GOP super PACs. Named after a robber baron, this bank’s a fossil itself—funding the flood that drowns us.

• Wells Fargo: Meet “Dick’s Bank,” the OG of fraud—fake accounts, racist loans, union-busting since the Gold Rush. They lobby to gut regulations while evicting grandmas for Krasnov’s goons. Your money’s safer under a mattress than in their vault.

• Bank of America: BoA’s diversity ads are as real as Krasnov’s hair. They bankroll fossil fuels, private prisons, and GOP PACs, checking every evil box with a smile. Performative progressives who’d sell your soul for a stock bump.

• Citigroup is the unholy trinity: fossil fuels, private prisons, surveillance state. They’d finance the world’s oldest evil toddler’s diaper budget if it paid. Your savings fund their dystopia.

Trump-Benders & MAGA-Enablers

• Deutsche Bank: Trump’s piggy bank since the ’80s. It was Deutsche money that has bailed out the history’s worst businessman, supplied the plane and the fuel for his many trips to Epstein Island They’re basically shitstain’s bookie and they are under the delusion that they will ever get any of their money back from him.

• US Bank: Smirking assassins in khakis, funding pipelines, anti-union corps, and GOP PACs. They’ll cash your check while stabbing unions in the back.

Less Bad, but Bad Enough to switch if you have better options:

• PNC Bank flirts with fossil fuels and far-right donations but keeps it low-key, not JPMorgan-level evil. Still, why risk it?

• Capital One: Quirky ads hide dirty cash—fossil fuels, GOP donations, exploitive interest rates on their credit cards, enough complicity to make the list. “What’s in your wallet?” Hopefully not their fascism fetish.

Alternatives: Credit unions, regional banks, minority-owned banks—same services, better : , . They don’t fund pipelines, prisons, or Trump’s weekly spray-tan shipment. Your deposits plant seeds for freedom, not fascism. Move your money. It’s a bullet in the beast’s heart.

No industry is more vulnerable to boycott than banking. Every account closed jams the beast’s gears. Every dollar moved is a freedom bullet. Join a credit union. Move your money. Don’t bankroll the dismantling of our rights, our freedoms, or what’s left of democracy.

Shopping Fascists:

Shopping Fascists:

Claire’s Boutique sells nothing anyone needs—now or ever.

If you wanted to design a retail franchise around cheap, useless garbage, this would be the blueprint. Think Temu, but at 100× the price: imported trinkets and nickel studs marketed as “self-expression,” teaching tweens to equate vanity with value and glitter with identity.

It’s the mall’s cheap-jewelry trapdoor—$20 piercings and sparkle bombs for the gullible, while the parent company’s franchise notes scream Domestic Economic Terrorism at anyone daring to mock their mall-death spiral.

Yep. That viral sign outside shuttered stores blaming “radical left agitators” for ridicule? Real. That’s how far they’ve sunk—calling consumer pushback terrorism while quietly filing for their second bankruptcy in seven years.

They’ve lost their mids. Fully. Same playbook as the inauguration grease: weaponize victimhood, dodge responsibility, and blame “the woke mob” instead of tariffs, private equity debt, and good old-fashioned greed.

Boycott everything with their tag—stores, site, app. Delay the impulse hoop. Hit them where the studs sting.

Alternatives: Local indie piercers — search “professional piercing near me” on Yelp. Safer, cleaner, human.

As our rights are stolen, our neighbors disappeared, and our way of life is destroyed, maybe ask yourself: Do I actually need any of this bullshit?

Starve the sparkle. Save the spark.

• Bed, Bath & Beyond is NOT Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
The original company went belly-up, dragged down with most of the malls from your childhood. What’s lumbering around now is a hollowed-out corpse of the brand—gobbled up and reanimated by Overstock.com, now called Beyond, Inc.

And what’s their first big move? Announcing they won’t open stores in California.

Marcus Lemonis—wannabe TV star and business fascist—says California is “problematic” for business. You know what that means:

• Regulation.

• Fair wages.

• Worker protections.

When a corporation declares war on basic worker rights and labels them “bad for business,” that’s not innovation—it’s fascism in practice.

Alternative: Shop local. Support worker-friendly retailers. Leave the mall zombies in the past where they belong.

• Hobby Lobby took their case all the way to the Supreme Court just to deny workers access to birth control? Yeah. That was never about “religious freedom.” It was about control: over bodies, over rights, over you. Every hot glue stick and rustic wooden cross was one more brick in the wall of Christian nationalism. Time to stop funding their Sunday school supply line. Alternative: Michael’s

• Walmart (GOP donations and performative neutrality). Walmart wants to sell you affordable tube socks while quietly bankrolling the collapse of democracy. They’ve made nice gestures here and there, but when it comes down to it, money talks—and Walmart’s cash has gone to the GOP’s worst actors. If you’re stocking up on emergency rations, maybe steer toward someone who doesn’t want you living under martial law. Alternative: Costco, Aldi, locally owned store.

• Target sold itself as the “woke” Walmart—a friendlier, more progressive alternative where Pride displays, diverse product lines, and warm lighting lulled shoppers into a false sense of values-based comfort. But it was always retail theater. The second right-wing pressure bubbled up, Target folded like a clearance rack lawn chair, pulling LGBTQ+ displays and issuing hollow corporate non-apologies. Say what you want about Walmart, but at least it never pretended to be an ally. Target did—and proved that its ‘principles’ were just marketing copy. When fascism knocked, they didn’t resist. They rolled out a red carpet.

Alternatives: You can buy literally everything they sell somewhere else—except maybe those $5 seasonal birds. But even those will be $9 now, and they’ll be stained with blood from the paper cuts on tiny, underpaid hands.

Gas Company Fascists:

Gas companies aren’t evil. They just do evil things—for profit. They’ve decided that cozying up to fascists pays off. And honestly? We haven’t proven them wrong yet.

Exxon used to be one of the “worst five” in our Hall of Shame. But apparently that wasn’t villainous enough. So how do you stand out in a lineup of climate criminals and democracy arsonists? Easy: you crawl back to Russia. You whisper sweet nothings to Putin while he carpet-bombs a former ally. You hold secret meetings with Rosneft, hoping no one notices the blood on the oil rig.

Exxon didn’t just lose its soul—they sold it, bought it back, and offered it as a signing bonus to the Kremlin. They’re not just bad. They’re Bond villain grotesque. If Exxon were a person, it would be stroking a white cat while lobbying to lift sanctions. And every gallon you pump helps keep their war chest full.

So yeah—BP only looks “less fascist” because they had to clean up their image after wrecking the Gulf. Shell is still awful, but Shell over Chevron. All of them over Exxon. Not because any of them are good—just slightly less bad.

Fuck Exxon, though. Don’t give them your money.

Ranked from “Murdering the Whistleblowers” to “Sorry About the Gulf”

1. Name something bad. Exxon bankrolls it. Climate denial, election denial, human rights violations—you name the poison, they’ve poured it into the well. They were already Hall-of-Shame material, but now they’re slinking back to Russia, cozying up to Putin like a Bond villain with an oil rig.

2. Koch Industries / Flint Hills Resources There is gas station called “Koch Brothers Fascist Fuels,” but VP Racing Fuels in the upper Midwest uses their fuel exclusively. Koch is the blueprint for corporate evil. See the full boycott guide for details.

3. Chevron Denies climate change and elections. Overachievers in the fascism department.

4. Valero Major donor to election denial PACs and anti-democracy candidates. Quietly corrosive.

5. Sinclair Oil: Cute dinosaur mascot. Gruesome politics. You’re literally pumping the dead bodies of their mascot into your car.

6. BP (British Petroleum) was once on the “less bad” list—mostly for PR damage control after trying to destroy the Gulf of Mexico. But new intel: BP supplies fuel to ICE via its ALCO brand. That’s right—the Gestapo runs on BP gas. Boycott ALCO. Boycott BP. They supply the fuel that makes that slow train to Auschwitz go.

Less Bad (Relatively)

7. Marathon Petroleum Lobbyists for deregulation, but more amoral than actively fascist.

8. Shell Major polluter. But in this lineup, they’re the least bad. Sad, but true.

Every dollar is a vote. Even if we can’t kill the beast, we can starve it.

Food fascists:

McDonald's

Of all the entries in this living boycott guide, this is the one that might save your life.

Remember Super Size Me?
For a documentary, a youngish, healthy filmmaker eats McDonald's every day for 30 days — 30 fucking days — and he almost died.

So why does that filthy piece of human garbage eat it every day for years, and at 79, he's still moving and breathing up all our good, clean democratic air?

My theory is that he is a human sewer, made up of the lickspittle of his collection of goons, morons, and sycophants he calls a cabinet and a family.

And about McDonald’s — let's not go crazy and start using words like “eating” and “food.”
Use words like ingestion and crap.
What counts as nourishment for a slimy turd like that could mean premature death for you or me.

But McDonald's — good lord, McDonald's:
Just because the orange turd only eats your food (because he has the impulse control of a toddler) does not justify you inviting him to your Impact Summit.

🍞Flowers Foods: Dough Over Dignity

Right now, somebody’s eating a slice of Dave’s Killer Bread, feeling righteous about supporting second chances. Feels good. Feels wholesome.

WRONG.

Dave’s got devoured by Flowers Foods—a corporate hydra that owns Wonder, Nature’s Own, Sunbeam, Tastykake, Bunny Bread, Canyon Bakehouse, and more. Behind the daisy-chain name lurks wage theft, union-busting, and GOP bankrolls.

Their recipe for profit? Pretend workers aren’t workers. Misclassify drivers as “independent contractors,” then skip out on wages, overtime, and benefits. Courts caught on: $171 million in settlements since 2021, with $130M in California alone. But Flowers keeps rewriting contracts faster than bread rises.

Meanwhile, their “Code of Conduct” brags about ethics and integrity. Translation: we’ll stop breaking the law when it’s inconvenient to keep getting sued.

And politics? Their PAC is basically a conveyor belt to the far right—99% Republican donations, $90,000 in 2024 to candidates gutting food safety, labor rights, and healthcare. That “wholesome” label on the bag is just camouflage for rot.

Trying to identify that aftertaste? It’s fascism.

🚫 Boycott: Wonder • Nature’s Own • Dave’s Killer Bread • Sunbeam • Tastykake • Merita • Home Pride • Bunny Bread • Canyon Bakehouse • Mrs. Freshley’s • Simple Mills
✅ Alternatives: Local bakeries, co-ops (Alvarado Street, regional independents), or bake your own—cheaper, fresher, fascist-free.

• Chick-fil-A was very popular for the flavor averse, but I’ve never understood the appeal. Colonel Sanders had eleven herbs and spices. Chick-fil-A has two, and that’s only if you count salt and pepper as herbs and/or spices. It’s all white meat, too. Extra white. Suspiciously white.
Which raises the question: Where’d the dark meat go? Not in the sandwich. Not on the board. Not anywhere near the marketing. Unrelated, probably. Alternative: KFC, raising your own chickens, or go vegan.

• Chobani spent twenty years climbing to the top of the dairy pile. They dominated shelves, rode the Greek yogurt craze into the future, and even built a reputation for decency — hiring refugees, giving workers stock, playing the “good corporation” card.

  So why, one day, do they decide to partner with a Trump?

  Enter Planet Harvest. Sounds like a charity, doesn’t it? Sunshine, strawberries, happy farmers. Except it’s not. It’s an LLC — for profit — co-founded by Ivanka Trump, heir to a dynasty of grifters and fake foundations. The kings and queens of charity swindles.

  And Chobani? They didn’t just buy a few pallets. They sourced all their strawberries through Planet Harvest — 1.2 million pounds in 2025 alone. That’s 55 million yogurt drinks stamped with the Trump stink, whether the label says it or not.

  Here’s the kicker: they pitch it like philanthropy. Feeding the hungry with “rescued” fruit. But think about it — yogurt is the worst survival food imaginable. It spoils fast. It breeds bacteria. Old yogurt can literally explode in your fridge. That’s not relief. That’s a weapon.

  There’s a reason soup kitchens serve soup: it keeps. Yogurt rots. If the plan is to shovel this stuff at the homeless, it won’t nourish them — it’ll kill them. Maybe that’s the point. A “charity” that cleans up fields, cleans up corporate optics, and quietly “cleans up” the streets.

  Verdict: Chobani chose to link arms with Ivanka’s fake-charity hustle. Partnering with the Trump grift machine on something that looks like altruism but smells like rot. Boycott them and let their empire curdle.

  Alternatives: Dannon and Yoplait are not much better. Like with everything, when in doubt, go local, regional, small.

Cracker Barrel: If you’re nostalgic for the “good old days” when it was fine to refuse service based on race, religion, or sexual orientation, congratulations—you don’t need a time machine. A place like that still exists. You can buy racist root beer and elaborate Christmas sweatshirts in the old-timey gift shop, then sit down to a meal of yesterday’s leftovers (literally—since COVID, they never catch up to same-day food).

Some argued against their inclusion:

1. MAGA is already boycotting them (for not being racist enough).

2. In some ways, they’ve been victims of the regime, attacked for daring to modernize a logo.

3. Very few “blues” actually eat there.

4. Boycotting could even play into a devaluation scheme so oligarchs can scoop them up cheap.

Fair points. But the purpose of this guide is simple: to target companies that capitulate to Trump. Cracker Barrel bent the knee. And for that, they belong on the list.

Wholestone / Pillen Farms: Love the daily corruption from Trump and want to see it play out at the state level? Welcome to Nebraska, where the governor’s last name is also stamped on your pork chops. What a fucking coincidence. Except it’s not. Jim Pillen bullied his way into office and now uses it to bully regulators, competitors, and anyone who gets between him and his sweet government subsidies.

Boycott? Pork labeled Wholestone Farms or Pillen Farms. Check the label of store brands.

Alternatives: Niman Ranch, Applegate Organics, Local co-ops / independent farms.

• Starbucks. Red-hat MAGA chains are easy to spot. The real danger? Wolves in progressive clothing. Starbucks wraps itself in rainbow cups, tweets black lives matter, and bankrolls feel-good campaigns—then union-busts like the most vicious of Pinkerton agents.

Stores close the moment workers vote yes. Organizers get canned. And the CEO hauls in 6,666% more than the barista steaming your milk. That’s not “ethical consumption”—that’s ritual exploitation sold with a smile.

And here’s the kicker: the “daily Starbucks habit” runs $150–200 a month. That’s rent money, grocery money, survival money. Redirect it and you’ve just starved the beast while funding something better.

Alternatives: Local indie shops are great OR buy a French press and some fair-trade beans. Heat water. Pour. Congratulations—you’ve just liberated yourself from a $7 cup of hypocrisy.

• Wendy’s: Square burgers, square Frostys, and squarely in the pocket of GOP super PACs. Wendy’s has poured money into anti-worker campaigns, fought against fair wage pledges for farmworkers, and backed politicians hellbent on gutting labor rights.

I loved Frostys as much as the next person, but not enough to sip one while they bankroll the people making life harder for anyone who works for a living.

Alternative: Cook at home. You can make the burgers square. It’s not hard. It’ll taste better and you won’t be funding wage theft with every bite. It will taste like freedom.

• Jimmy John’s: James Johnathan has been a bad little boy. A sick little Nazi. That Jimmy Mustard? Tastes like fascism. When you can make a better sandwich in five minutes at home, this should be one of the easiest boycotts you’ll ever do.

They’re barely worth our time, but here’s the quick rap sheet: Trump contributions, trophy hunting of endangered species, and labor practices so anti-worker they made union-busting look polite—plus a push for deregulation of employee protections and food safety. And remember: they don’t even cook.

Alternatives: Buy bread. Buy what you like. Put one thing on another thing. Congratulations—you just made a sandwich that tastes better, costs less, and doesn’t feed fascism.

• Papa John’s (founder John Schnatter made controversial statements, supported Trump). So yeah, “Papa John” is gone, but you don’t get to come back from Nazi shit. Like garlic butter on your favorite white t-shirt, some stains don’t come out. Ask Elon Musk. Plus, it’s easy to boycott when the product sucks. Domino’s got better before the collapse … Alternative: Anything else. It’s really bad. Maybe a week old loaf of bread with some Ragu poured over it and microwaved for 2 minutes.

• Domino’s: Regular contributions to conservative causes. No real connection to Trump directly, but right-wing causes were a gateway drug to full-blown Magaism. Maybe go with Pizza Hut. Kind of gross, but without that pesky Nazi aftertaste. Alternative: Locally owned pizza restaurants are so much better than the god-awful triumvirate of pizza crap.

• In-N-Out Burger loves the California GOP so much, they are renting her an apartment just so they can spend the weekends together. Alternative: I’ve never had it so but I’ve heard that it’s only good to people who grew up having it all the time. So there you go. You only think you like it because of nostalgia.

• Happy Dad / Dark Horse Hard Seltzer (NELK Boys) is a “hard seltzer” brand bankrolled by MAGA-aligned influencers who’ve spent years platforming Trump, Trump Jr., and other fascist-adjacent candidates. Your money props up the Nelk Boys’ ecosystem of far-right media stunts, grift, and political fundraising. Alternatives: White Claw, Truly, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, or (better yet) a local craft brand that doesn’t bankroll authoritarianism.

• Nestle may not make headlines for fawning over Trump, but they’ve more than earned their place in the boycott hall of shame. From bottling public water during droughts to profiting off child labor in cocoa fields, Nestle has spent decades perfecting the art of global plunder. They pioneered a textbook scam: distribute free formula samples to undermine breastfeeding in developing nations. Then, once dependency set in, tighten the corporate chokehold on babies just trying to eat. Their business model mirrors the Trumpist ethos: deregulated, extractive and proudly indifferent to human suffering. If fascism had a flavor, it would be artificial chocolate and microplastics.

• Publix (heiress helped fund the Jan. 6 rally). Turns out your fried chicken tenders and sub sandwich might come with a side of insurrection. Julie Jenkins Fancelli, heiress to the Publix fortune, dropped hundreds of thousands to promote the Trump rally that turned into the Capitol attack. Publix tried to distance itself—sure, sure—but the money already spoke. Alternative: Find a grocery store that didn’t co-sponsor sedition.

• Roark Capital (Subway, Dunkin’, Auntie Anne’s, Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wingstop, Sonic, Cinnabon, Jamba Juice, Cheesecake Factory, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and more) isn’t a company; it’s a parasite. It controls more than 70 brands and 1.4 million workers through a franchise model designed to bleed labor dry and dodge accountability.

• Roark has the highest rate of wage theft among major private equity firms.

• It lobbied to kill the $15 minimum wage and block the PRO Act.

• It funds the Chamber of Commerce to gut the “joint employer” rule so it can keep denying responsibility for how workers are treated.

Founder Neal Aronson even named the company after Ayn Rand’s Howard Roark—the “hero” who doesn’t use others. In reality, Roark thrives on poverty wages and taxpayer‑subsidized public assistance while bankrolling politicians who keep workers powerless.

Boycott: Don’t spend at Subway, Dunkin’, Auntie Anne’s, Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wingstop, Sonic, Jamba Juice, Cinnabon, Cheesecake Factory, Moe’s, or any of their dozens of other brands. Every purchase feeds the machine.

• Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue publicly praised Trump, denied the 2020 election, denied the Jan. 6 insurrection—but luckily, he stepped up and did the right thing by speaking out against ICE’s targeted kidnapping of Hispanics in the US. Right? Fuck no. He doesn’t give a shit.

He didn’t just kiss the ring—he did it at the White House:

Subscribe to stay connected, to get boycott updates, to get more fascist-fighting content..

“We’re truly blessed to have a leader like Trump.”

Then he doubled down at CPAC, calling Trump the “real, legitimate, still actual president.” The Trumps even used public office to hawk Goya products in the Oval and online—a full-blown ethics mess.

Goya’s own board later muzzled Unanue for pushing “unverified election” lies. But that’s not enough. Our boycott aims to push him out the door entirely. The beans will taste less like fascism when he’s gone.

His checkbook matches his mouth: big donations to GOP committees and MAGA-aligned PACs.

Alternatives: Rancho Gordo (beans): heirloom/traceable, reasonably priced for the quality; supports growers. Bob’s Red Mill (pantry staples): employee-owned, strong reputation for treating workers well. Penzeys Spices (spices): proudly liberal, great quality. All of these will taste so much better knowing you aren’t contributing to the collapse of civilization.

•The Wonderful Company sells you “POM Wonderful” pomegranate juice with the smile of a benevolent yoga billionaire, but behind the label is a desert empire built on stolen water. Sounds like a really long Kevin Costner film, but it’s very real.

Stewart and Lynda Resnick are ecological ghouls. It doesn’t get much lower than water hoarders. While California withered in record-breaking droughts, the Resnicks diverted billions of gallons of precious water to keep their almond and pistachio trees plump and export-ready. Whole towns went dry. Farmworkers inhaled dust from empty fields. But don’t worry — they donated to a museum and called it balance.

They control one of the most valuable groundwater reserves in California (the Kern Water Bank), hoarded through privatization sleight-of-hand and political muscle. Meanwhile, you’re told to take shorter showers while they irrigate 135,000 acres of nut orchards in a climate hellscape.

Boycott every bottle, every nut, every drop from this empire of ecological sin. That means: POM Wonderful, Wonderful Pistachios, FIJI Water, Halos mandarins, JUSTIN Wines, Teleflora, Landmark Wines

Don’t drink the juice. Don’t crack the nuts. And for the love of the apocalypse, don’t buy “eco-luxury” bottled water flown in from a private aquifer in Fiji while the world burns.

Molson Coors: Everyone knows Coors tastes like piss. The only people who drink it are hypnotized by the shiny “silver bullet” can—same way Trump can’t resist anything gold. It’s moronic.

Molson? Also piss. Miller? Piss. Somewhere along the way, all the piss beers merged into one bi-national bucket of crap: Molson Coors. And then they wrote big checks to help fund Project 2025.

Project 2025 isn’t just a fascist wishlist. It’s a murder document. It’s already killing babies, ripping families apart, and laying the groundwork for the end of life on earth.

So yeah—thanks, piss beers.

Alternatives: Here’s a six pack of beers that don’t taste like piss and are not trying to actively murder you: Go Brewing (Burn It Down IPA is their most popular beer. ‘Nuff said), Dogfish Head (Liberal leaning), New Belgium (you might know Fat Tire), Athletic Brewing Co. (sustainability focused), Sierra Nevada (environmentalists), Bell’s Brewery (union friendly).

• Coca-Cola isn’t on this list because of Trump’s latest distraction circus—hawking glass bottles of sugar at a restaurant most of us thought went out of business decades ago. If you look away enough, Epstein never happened. That’s his hope anyway, but we will never stop talking about Epstein until justice has been served.

Coke makes the list because it funds hate, exploits labor, siphons water from the poor, props up fascists and donates to the worst human being since Hitler. This isn’t about soda. It’s about empire.

Boycott: Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Smartwater, Minute Maid, Powerade, Simply (juice), Honest Tea, and anything else pumped out by these sugar ghouls.

Healthcare + Retail Fascists:

• Walgreens (slow-motion villainy in a lab coat). Between pulling back access to reproductive healthcare and trying to keep one foot in each political camp, Walgreens has quietly become the pharmacy of authoritarian appeasement. They cave to pressure, abandon patients, and still want your business. If you can, fill your prescription somewhere that doesn’t prescribe cowardice.

• CVS and Target are not lovers, but they share side-by-side twin beds like Bert and Ernie, or Rob and Laura Petrie. The point? They’re close. They do pillow talk. They share retail real estate. And when der Führer comes knocking, they both bend over the dumpster and take the soft mushroom without complaint.

  Case in point: CVS will not provide COVID-19 vaccines in 16 states, including Pennsylvania, Florida, and New York. Not because they can’t, but because the “regulatory environment” makes it politically awkward. In most of those states they could give shots with a prescription—but why bother protecting people when it’s easier to please the fascists?

  This is a national pharmacy chain that’ll sell you expired vitamins, $10 bags of candy, and gallons of booze, but draws the line at saving lives. That’s not healthcare. That’s cowardice. If CVS and Target were people, they’d be each other’s date to 47’s gaudy new ballroom unveiling—matching tuxedos, matching mushroom stains.

  Alternatives (to CVS and Walgreens): Local pharmacies that still believe in public health. Community clinics and co-ops, if they survive what’s about to happen to the economy. More realistic? Move to Canada. Go to medical school. Make friends with someone in healthcare. Or just don’t get sick. That’s the best advice I’ve got: don’t get sick.

Tech + Billionaire Ego Fascists:

Google (Alphabet): The Infinity Machine

Google isn’t a brand you boycott like soda or sneakers — it’s a system. A surveillance empire. A police-state subcontractor. A trillion-dollar infinity machine that grows stronger with every click you make.

• They aren’t just “allowing” authoritarianism.
  They’re building it.

  • Project Nimbus: Google’s $1.2B cloud contract directly powers Israeli military surveillance and targeting systems. Workers protested; Google fired them.

  • Censorship by Algorithm: Independent Gaza coverage, famine reporting, and anti-authoritarian voices get buried as “spam.” Not a glitch — a calibration.

  • Surveillance as Profit: Every search, email, route, and late-night thought becomes product. They sell it to advertisers, governments, police, intelligence contractors.

  • Monopoly on Reality: With 70% of global search under one roof, Google shapes perception itself. What disappears online disappears everywhere.

    Is that enough reason? I think it is.

  You can’t boycott Google the way you boycott a soda brand — by simply not buying. That kind of boycott is clean and simple. But Google’s tentacles reach into every corner of your life. To resist them, you cut off their oxygen: your data, your clicks, your habits, your dependence.

  If you don’t want to live inside a corporate-run police state,
  stop feeding the machine that’s building it.

• Palantir

  Corporations are amoral — hungry machines chasing profit.
  Palantir is worse.

  Under Peter Thiel’s hand, profit becomes a secondary objective. The primary one? Power.
  Don’t get confused by the board of directors or the “investor ecosystem.” Thiel steers the ship, and the ship is pointed straight at authoritarianism.

  Palantir may be the most insidious corporation operating today. They don’t sell you soda, sneakers, or streaming subscriptions. You can’t “stop buying Palantir” the way you can stop buying Disney or Coca-Cola. Their business is darker and harder to reach:

  • government contracts

  • ICE raids

  • predictive-policing algorithms

  • surveillance architecture

  • war, counterinsurgency, and domestic repression frameworks

  You don’t boycott Palantir by swapping consumer choices. You hurt them through stigma, reputation collapse, investor panic, public shame, and making their name radioactive.

  They want to operate in the shadows.
  So we drag them into the light.

  Because this isn’t a straightforward boycott like the others, Palantir deserves its own guide — its own battlefield.

  👉 Read the full Palantir Boycott Guide here.

• Tesla (Cybertruck & Beyond)

  No sane, well-adjusted human ever looked at that trash can on wheels Elon Musk called a Cybertruck and thought, “Wow, I need to drive that stupid piece of shit.”

  It looks like it was designed by the all-powerful child Clint Howard played in that old Star Trek episode—equal parts dystopian and playground tantrum. Fun fact: slam a Cybertruck door too hard and it breaks. As in, you need a whole new door. And good luck. Tesla’s so dysfunctional it can’t even provide clean titles to customers, let alone fix your busted door in a timely or affordable fashion.

  The only saving grace? Only evil idiots bought them. Owning one is its own punishment:

  • Your money’s gone.

  • You drive a shiny metal box glued together like a model airplane.

  • Strangers call you a Nazi everywhere you go.

  Congrats. You’re “winning” life.

  And the future? These things will be repurposed as septic tanks—buried in the ground, filled with shit. Fitting.

  Why Tesla Belongs on the Boycott List

  Tesla is the blueprint for what a boycott can do.

  The moment Musk threw up his sieg heil, we came down hard. We didn’t shrug. We boycotted. We protested their dealerships. We shamed Cybertruck drivers until owning one felt like a walk of shame, not a flex.

  Sales plummeted. The board grumbled. Proof that boycotts work—because if they didn’t, that rat-eyed prick would still be rifling through our data and shredding democracy with his Nazi emerald fortune.

  We still boycott Tesla. We boycott harder. Because you don’t come back from the salute. You don’t come back from the blood money, the suffering, the death.

  And let’s not forget:

  • Tesla has fought unionization at every turn.

  • Musk has platformed fascists, spread disinfo, and turned X into a propaganda sewer.

  • The company’s entire vibe is authoritarian tech bro cosplay.

  Alternatives: literally any other car.

  Hondas, Subarus, Toyotas, Chevys—hell, even a beat-up ‘92 Geo Metro is infinitely better. If pressed, I would ride a soapbox derby car over a Cybertruck. I’ll gladly haul that sucker uphill to not give one dime to that Nazi freak. Cry Elon.

TikTok (MAGA version):

TikTok was always problematic. We worried the Chinese government was watching us—harvesting our data, peering through the ring light as we danced and decayed. Those fears were valid. But now they feel almost quaint.

Because while we were busy fearing Beijing, our own government was perfecting the same tools. They’re not probably going to use them against us. They are.

The new TikTok deal doesn’t protect us—it just swaps one surveillance empire for another. Oracle, Ellison, Thiel, Musk. The MAGA media machine is consolidating power, and TikTok is now part of it.

Trump’s team wants the algorithm “100% MAGA”. That’s not a joke. It’s a blueprint.

TikTok’s design harms children. Its algorithm radicalizes adults. Section 230 shields it from accountability. And now, under U.S. control, it’s being weaponized to addict, divide, and surveil—with a patriotic filter slapped on top.

At this point, I’d gladly hand my data to the Chinese if it meant getting it out of the hands of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the bureaucratic vampires currently feeding on our feeds.

But we don’t have to choose between empires. We can choose exit.

The Crown Prince of the Feed

You couldn’t script the symbolism better: Barron Trump, 19, tipped for a seat on TikTok’s new U.S. board.
The boy who grew up in the golden tower, now heir to the world’s most addictive propaganda machine.

His father calls him “the future of the brand.”
The architect behind the deal calls him “the youth connection.”
And the headlines call it what it is: dynastic algorithmic rule.

The monarchy is digital now.
And the crown is a ring light.

Alternatives: PixelFed, Peertube.

Tactical Reminder:

Delete the app. Withdraw your attention. Reclaim your humanity. Rebuild your feed from scratch—with myth, care, and encrypted joy.

This isn’t just a boycott. It’s a ritual of refusal. A signal to the watchers: We see you. We’re done dancing for you.

Dell Computers

Dell to Trump: Your support is tanking. We’ve got a plan. We’ll make it look like you’re starting a children’s charity.

Trump: I don’t want to help kids.

Dell: We know. Neither do we. But listen—solid optics.

Trump: What’s in it for me?

Dell: We’ll call them “Trump Accounts.” Promise $1000 for every newborn—if parents open and fund the account now.

Trump: I’m not giving babies a dime.

Dell: Exactly. Families pour in their grocery money, hoping for a payout 18 years later. We never give it. You look generous, they get nothing.

Trump: So I get to take the money?

Dell: Of course. That’s the whole point.

That should be enough for a boycott entry, but listen:

1. Dell provides infrastructure, servers, material support for ICE kidnappings.

2. Dell supports Israel’s genocide and has donated millions to the Israeli military. They are a member of “Friends of the IDF.”

3. Supports Gov. Abbot’s National Guard deployments.

All are more than enough reasons to never buy Dell. Don’t give them your money because they will use it for some really bad shit.

Alternatives: Acer, Asus, Framework, Purism, and Fairphone

SiriusXM

SiriusXM already deserved a spot on the boycott guide for being fascist ICE enablers, but now they are also on there for being child rape apologists. Forever, they have platformed extreme Right‑wing voices like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, while their most progressive voice has been drunk Rick Springfield stammering his way through his shift on 80s at 8.

And in the dry rot of what is left of our society, we can ignore some light fascism because the boycott guide (the one you are reading here) is long and could easily be twice as long, so we pick on the worst. We boycott the worst, usually out of multiple bad options (see internet fascists section as an example), but at some point, there is a bridge too far. At some point, they force themselves onto this boycott, and today is that day.

I don’t have to say it. Here it is in Megyn Kelly’s exact words, on her SiriusXM 111 show, November 12, 2025:

“[Epstein] did like them young, and there were several young women who he did this to who were minors, who were underage. There’s just no question about that. There’s a difference between a 15‑year‑old and a 5‑year‑old, you know? Like, he liked 15‑year‑old girls. And I realize this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, 8‑year‑olds.”

So long as SiriusXM continues to platform that disgusting pedophilia apologist, we boycott. The GOP in Congress, the apologists, and the fake‑Christian creeps may be comfortable standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with child sex trafficking, but we are not.

So if they want our dollars, a start would be to stop the ICE recruitment ads. Next would be to balance their programming politically. But most importantly, the Megyn Kelly Show must go.

Alternatives: Break out your old albums, tapes, CDs, MP3s. Build your own soundscape. Stream through community radio or independent online stations that aren’t underwriting ICE.

Electronic Arts (EA)

Remember that nepo baby who inherited obscene wealth and used it to spread pain and suffering? No, not that one. I mean Mohammed bin Salman (MBS)—Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and resident butcher.

He has journalists murdered for telling the truth. Jamal Khashoggi—American resident, lured into a consulate, cut to pieces. Our “government” still hugs him like a favorite donor.

MBS bombs civilians, tortures rival royals, seizes land, wrecks ecosystems, and forces citizens into de facto slavery.

And now? He owns your Madden habit.

EA just agreed to a $55 billion deal to go private funded by:

• MBS’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), already a 10% owner.

• Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners (yet another nepo baby—spawn of the original nepo baby in paragraph one), a family slush fund.

• Silver Lake, a private equity giant that fattens itself on monopoly power.

Shareholders get $210 per share in cash. CEO Andrew Wilson—the guy who turned fun into a loot-box casino—stays on and gets even richer.

This isn’t just corporate greed. It’s authoritarian capital. Every touchdown, every yard gained, every Ultimate Team pack isn’t just bad gameplay design—it’s a kickback to dictators and cronies.

Boycott. Delete Origin. Don’t feed the beast.

What to boycott:
EA Sports FC • Madden NFL • The Sims • Battlefield • Apex Legends • Need for Speed • Mass Effect • Dragon Age • Star Wars Jedi series • UFC • NHL • NBA Live • Skate • SimCity • Plants vs. Zombies • Dead Space • Burnout

Alternatives: Pretty much everything else. Indie devs on Steam, itch.io, or Switch. Ubisoft, Capcom, FromSoftware, Nintendo. If it doesn’t say EA on the label, you’re safe. If it does, congratulations—you have some future murdered journalist’s blood on your hands.

• Apple has always felt like a light cult. To the faithful, their products are sacred—sleek, glowing, essential as water.

  For those of us fighting for our lives—for truth, for memory, for resistance—boycotting them isn’t ideal. We know people are locked in. We know the ecosystem is a trap.

  But this? This was fucking ridiculous.

  Tim Cook did everything but let Trump inside him. (Publicly, anyway.)

  He smiled through it. Nodded through it. Enabled it. Grinned and bared it. And now Apple’s not just a tech company. It’s a collaborator and Cook can’t get the taste of Trump’s crotch musk out of his mouth.

  Alternatives:

  • Google Pixel – Not much better. Google data mines us like we are literal mines. They will tap everything they can from us and then throw us away when we can no longer be fodder for their money printing aparatus.

  • Samsung – South Korea’s most arrogant export besides Squid Game knockoffs. Cozy with authoritarian regimes when it suits them.

  • Fairphone – Smaller company, modular phones, more ethical sourcing—but limited availability and specs.

  • Refurbished / Used devices – The least bad option (other than trying to make your current phone last as long as possible). Starve the beast without feeding another.

  Boycotting isn’t about finding a saint, it’s about not handing $1600 to the people actively helping build the next Reich.

• Motorola: When the wall speaks, it speaks Motorola.

  They’ve spent decades perfecting the art of compliance—not just with governments, but with oppression itself. Their encrypted systems connect occupation forces across the West Bank and Gaza. Their gear watches the wall, guards the settlements, and whispers orders into soldiers’ ears.

  In 2014, they signed a $100 million deal with the Israeli military to supply encrypted smartphones—the lifeline of command and control in occupied land. Motorola tech doesn’t just carry voices. It carries out orders.

  The UN lists Motorola among companies complicit in illegal Israeli settlements, citing their surveillance and ID systems used to fragment Palestinian communities. When you’re named alongside weapons dealers, neutrality isn’t an option.

  And back home? Same playbook. Motorola quietly settled a $47.5 million biometric privacy lawsuit for collecting and storing facial-recognition data without consent. Another suit accuses them of funneling user data—browsing habits, shopping activity, demographics—to Google, Amazon, and TikTok, even when users opted out.

  Different battlefield. Same behavior.

  This isn’t about phones or radios. It’s about a mindset: that data and human lives are raw materials. That technology should serve power, not people.

  Boycott Motorola / Lenovo and every rebrand they hide behind. Don’t buy the radios, the phones, or the networks. Starve the signal. Let the wall go silent.

• Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads) — Platformed hate. Monetized disinformation. Enabled fascism.

  Facebook isn’t just where your uncle radicalized himself; it’s where democracy went to die while Mark Zuckerberg cashed in on the chaos. From fake election ads to fascist memes to militia cosplay groups planning real-world violence, Facebook didn’t just allow it it optimized it for engagement.

  Zuckerberg didn’t just shrug as Trump rose; he sidled up next to him at the inauguration, desperate to keep the government off his back and the ad dollars flowing. While the world burned, he stayed laser-focused on monetizing attention, no matter how hateful or deadly.

  Now it’s not just Facebook. Instagram peddles influencer fascism in filtered doses. WhatsApp is a global disinfo machine. Threads is their sanitized rebrand attempt but it’s the same beast under a new coat of paint. Fuck Zuck.

• Les Wexner was the founder and CEO of brands like the Limited and Victoria’s Secret but now he has gone full evil tech warlord. If anyone currently cowering from the Epstein Files is as guilty as Donald Trump, it’s this dipshit.

  Yes, this list is supposed to be about boycotting those that enable this fascist regime, but we get a 2-in-1 here: a confirmed pervert and a funder of authoritarianism. Wexner maintained an extremely close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for two decades, granting him power of attorney, controlling access to Wexner’s personal properties, finances, and even his charitable foundation. If Epstein, Maxwell and Trump were the Three Musketeers, Wexner is their D’Artagnan.

  Les Wexner is no longer the CEO of L Brands—but he has quietly become a major shareholder in CoreWeave, an AI-cloud infrastructure giant valued at tens of billions; and he’s been selling land to Big Tech to build data centers in Ohio. These assets power the emerging censorship and surveillance architecture.

  Wexner turned a $1M seed bet in 2019 into a $720–800M stake by 2024—earning billions while helping structure the AI backbone for firms like Meta, Microsoft, and Google. Meanwhile, his real estate portfolio funnels land to the very engines of global surveillance. That’s not progress; that’s fascist infrastructure built at scale.

  Boycott Directive:
  Don’t fund Wexner’s tech empire. Avoid supporting CoreWeave (or spin-offs), and resist patronizing the AI data center corridor around New Albany.

  Alternatives:
  When using AI tools, choose decentralized, open-source platforms and peer-to-peer services—not corporate-owned cloud giants. Opt for edge or federated computing where possible.

  Resistance Logic:
  This isn’t about retail stores—it’s about cutting off the capital fueling centralized AI systems. Wexner’s billions now derive from the physical network that could enable the next wave of algorithmic repression. Hitting him here is strategic, not symbolic.

• Spotify (CEO Daniel Ek invests in AI-powered warfare; platform allows ICE recruiting ads).
  The guy profiting off your sad breakup playlists is also funding combat-drone software through Helsing SE. That’s right: Spotify’s CEO is now a war-tech investor.
  Meanwhile, Spotify ran adverts recruiting for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — promoting bonuses, tuition reimbursement, and a conveyor-belt into deportation.
  Musicians and activists have been sounding the alarm, but Ek is too busy militarizing the algorithm to care. So next time you’re vibing to lo-fi beats, just know you might be helping bankroll the next-generation kill-bot. Might be time to hit pause. Permanently.

  Alternatives: Bandcamp, Tidal, Deezer.

• Pandora is still business. Who knew?

  That’s the good news.

  The bad news: they’re pulling the same stunt as Spotify—running and profiting from ICE recruitment ads.

  I might’ve once listed them as an alternative to Spotify. I take it back.

  And don’t let the “free” label fool you. You’re paying plenty—just not with cash.
  They make more off ads shown to free users than they do from paid memberships.
  That means every time you sit through an ad between songs, they profit off your attention—and sometimes off the suffering of others.

• Instacart: Imagine working in a high-level role at a company while fully aware of how it treats its frontline workers: classifying them as disposable contractors, paying poverty wages after expenses, inflating prices through opaque fees, supporting anti-labor initiatives, monetizing consumer data, and squeezing local grocery ecosystems—especially during the pandemic.

  Then you decide to run for Congress.

  At first, Instacart says fine.
  Then they review your campaign website.
  You support abortion rights.
  You support gun safety.

  And suddenly, you’re told you can’t run—or you lose your job.

  According to a lawsuit filed by Lisa Vedernikova Khanna, a former senior Instacart director, the company reversed its approval of her congressional campaign after reviewing her policy positions, allegedly due to fears of political backlash from Republicans and the Trump administration.

  This is the same company that:

  • classifies workers as disposable contractors

  • pays poverty wages while shifting costs onto shoppers

  • inflates prices through opaque fees

  • supported anti-labor ballot initiatives

  • extracts and monetizes consumer data

  • hollowed out local grocery ecosystems during the pandemic

  Instacart doesn’t just exploit labor and customers.
  It allegedly polices employee speech when it suits corporate interests and punishes political activity that risks upsetting those in power—all while pretending it’s just delivering groceries.

  That’s why it’s here.

  This boycott guide exists to help people make informed decisions, not to shame anyone for needing food.

  If you are homebound, disabled, elderly, immunocompromised, lack transportation, or truly have no alternative: use Instacart if you need to. Survival comes first.

  Everyone else should choose differently.

  Alternatives: Direct store delivery (many grocers deliver without Instacart), Local co-ops or independent grocers (often take phone or email orders), Mutual aid, senior services, disability networks, Curbside pickup + trusted helper (friend, neighbor, aide)

  These options keep money local, reduce exploitation, and don’t outsource accountability to an app.

• Uber: For when you want your ride-share company to operate like a fascist state. Much like the Trump wing of the American Cosa Nostra, Uber’s systemic behaviors—disregard for democratic norms, covert manipulation, consolidation of power, and suppression of dissent—mirror authoritarian playbooks in practice, if not in name. And just to twist the knife, they skim up to 75% of the driver’s fare. That’s fucking bullshit.
  Alternatives: Lyft (they “only” take about half), walk, bus, bike—anything but Fascist Yellow Cab.

• Oracle: Shadowy infrastructure for the surveillance state. Needs more research but if we can hurt them, we will. Check for updates.

• Paypal has its own Batman-style rogue’s gallery of villains, and they are some of the worst.

  • Peter “The Plutocrat” Thiel: Co-founder, early Trump megadonor, architect of authoritarian tech utopias. Built Palantir. Believes democracy and capitalism are incompatible—he’s against the wrong one.

  • David “The Freeze” Marcus: Crypto fanatic who helped turn PayPal into a libertarian cash tunnel. Left to build a Facebook crypto empire. Failed upward.

  • Dan “Slasher” Schulman: Former CEO. Slashed consumer protections while claiming moral high ground. Said all the right words while gutting the infrastructure of trust.

  • Elon “The Joker” Musk: Early PayPal mafia member. Escaped with a pile of cash and a thirst for chaos. Built a rocket, bought a death cult, made fascism profitable.

PayPal’s original “mafia” helped bankroll the billionaire-to-fascist pipeline. They didn’t just profit from tech—they engineered the platforms of control. And they’re still lurking, reshaping money and speech to fit their worldview.

Cancel. Delete. Move to mutual aid platforms or credit unions.

Aviation and Transit:

• Boeing: If any company deserved its own list—support for fascism aside—it’s Boeing.

  Much like Putin or the keepers of the Epstein list, Boeing critics have an uncanny tendency to die suddenly. Not elderly, not sick—just inconvenient. Healthy, middle-aged whistleblowers with damning evidence tend to vanish from the narrative. Permanently.

  Plenty of corporations would consider murder to cover up wrongdoing. Boeing has done it. More than once. And like Putin, they’ve mastered the art of deniable intimidation—never proven, but always understood. The message is clear: talk, and it might be your last flight.

  Well, we’re done whispering. But more importantly—we’re done paying.

  Refuse to fly on Boeing-made planes. Tell the airlines. If they know we’ll avoid carriers flying Boeing, their billions will go elsewhere. They’ll listen to money if they won’t listen to mourning. Alternative: It’s apparently a sloppy company dangerous in more ways than one. Fly anyone airline that does not use Boeing jets other than …

• Congratulations to Avelo Air, the budget carrier with a one-way ticket to hell. While other airlines sell overpriced snacks, Avelo is busy selling out humanity by shuttling detained people to internment zones with the same casual cruelty they bring to baggage fees. If you wouldn’t book a seat on a cattle car, don’t book one on Avelo. Alternative: Flap your arms really fast.

Auto Insurance Fascists (Bad → Worst)

Yeah, yeah — health, life, homeowners. They’re “more important,” I know. But they’re also more complicated to untangle, and you can’t always just ditch them on a whim. Auto insurance, though? That’s the one scam we’re all forced to buy and most people are able to switch. Perfect boycott target: soulless corporations that want your money need to know supporting Trump is not the way to get it:

🔴Not Great, But Maybe Better: Progressive

Progressive isn’t a saint. They’ve faced lawsuits for discriminatory pricing and spend millions lobbying to keep the racket intact. But compared to the rest, they’re the “least bad” option. They also have a decent DEI record.

If you must go big-box, go here. But know you’re still feeding the beast—just with a smaller spoon.

🔴🔴Bad: GEICO

That cute gecko? Just a green distraction from a long history of redlining and algorithmic racism.

• Investigations show inflated rates for Black and brown drivers

• Their “15% savings” pitch masks a spreadsheet of systemic gouging

• All smiles on TV, all knives in the backend

GEICO doesn’t insure you—they profile you.

🔴🔴Worse: Allstate

The “good hands” are actually a chokehold.

• Masters of delay, denial, and lowball settlements

• Major funders of GOP super PACs and climate denial

• Raises rates like clockwork while lobbying to keep the scam legal

Imagine a mob boss with worse commercials and better branding.

🔴🔴🔴 Worst: State Farm

That “friendly neighbor” jingle? Try the neighbor who burns crosses on weekends.

• Funded white nationalist propaganda

• Ads ran alongside Tucker Carlson’s “Great Replacement” rants

• Millions poured into anti-worker, anti-climate, anti-consumer campaigns

State Farm isn’t just bad insurance. It’s a fascist ATM in khakis and a smile.

Bottom Line

Auto insurance is legalized extortion baked into the law. You don’t get to opt out—but you do get to choose which corporate parasite pockets your cash.

• Don’t feed the worst offenders

• Switch if you can

• Annoy the bastards

And if you really want to starve the beast? Go small. Regional insurers, mutual companies, and credit union-backed plans don’t have the reach to fund fascism. That counts.

Our cars might be trapped in traffic, but our money doesn’t have to be.

Misc. Fascists:

Nike

Nike’s billionaire co-founder Phil Knight just dropped another $3 million into Oregon Republican campaigns with a smug little slogan:

“Bring Balance to Salem.”

Translation:
Flip the legislature red. Kill oversight. Let corporate donors run the state in the dark.

This is the same Nike that:

• Built its empire on sweatshops and child labor

• Marks up $3 shoes to $200 while paying workers pennies

• Markets heavily to Black and brown communities — then bankrolls the party stripping those same communities of rights

In 2025, after Jan 6, after abortion bans, after book bans, after election denial, after political purges, after the fascist “Beautiful Bill”…

Any company still writing seven- and eight-figure checks to the GOP isn’t “bipartisan.”

They’re choosing sides.

Phil Knight chose fascism over the state that made him rich.

Don’t buy Nike.
Every pair of sneakers you purchase is a campaign donation to the people trying to break Oregon — and the country.

Starve the machine.

What to Buy Instead (Alternatives)

FIFA

Here is how far up Trump’s ass FIFA is:

When everyone else laughed—when one of the most vicious “leaders” in world history demanded the Nobel Peace Prize like no decent person ever would—we all laughed and said good when he lost. Because you don’t get to murder, rape, and pillage your way through life and then strong-arm your way into an award created to celebrate leadership that leads to peace. You just don’t.

But FIFA, so hungry for maximum profits as they get set to stage the world’s biggest sporting spectacle in the rubble formerly known as the United States, decided:

“Let’s create a peace prize and give it to Trump.”

Now, keep in mind—since we started this boycott guide months ago—people have jumped the gun, contacting me and saying, “Let’s boycott whoever,” the moment Trump came to a company with an ask.

And I said: Hold on. Let’s be patient. Let’s wait for them to respond.

They probably will bow to Trump, and when they do, we’ll add Acme Widget Co. or whoever to this boycott guide—but we had to wait for them to actually do it.

But this... this is not something we have to wait for.

These international grifters are creating The FIFA Peace Prize, announcing it while FIFA President Gianni Infantino stands there, grinning ghoulishly beside Trump—who’s salivating for more gold, more awards, more validation that only this dotardic cretin could think he deserves.

They didn’t just side with corruption; they crawled up its backside and took root.

🧭 Step-by-step sabotage:

Don’t watch the World Cup. (They make nothing from the live over-the-air signal direct to your house, though), don’t buy the merch, block any FIFA content on social media (unless it’s anti-FIFA content, then amplify it).

“No Peace, No Play.” If they crown warlords with peace prizes, we crown silence with resistance.

🏗️ Clark Construction

• When we looked into who was helping destroy the East Wing of the White House, most of the culprits were small, local firms — demolition, cleanup, rebuild — too minor to warrant a national boycott.

  But one name stood out.

  Clark Construction.
  The primary contractor making one of Donald Trump’s wildest delusions come true:
  the world’s tackiest ballroom.
  Tackier than the ones in the gilded mausoleums of fallen monarchs from Mother Russia.

  Clark isn’t a small player. They’ve spent 120 years morphing into a corporate colossus — thousands of employees, billions in annual revenue, and apparently zero foresight.

  Because if they had foresight, they’d know a few things:

  Donald Trump doesn’t pay contractors. He chews them up, gathers dirt, and leaves them to rot in court. Sue him, and he sues harder. He extorts, blackmails, and buries you in litigation.

  If they took the job because the economy’s collapsing and construction contracts are drying up — well, who collapsed it? Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s chaos. The industry’s blood loss is his handiwork.

  And make no mistake — this project is illegal. The house doesn’t belong to him; it belongs to us. Any renovation should’ve gone through approval and permits. None did. So Clark Construction isn’t just building for a tyrant; they’re complicit in a federal crime.

  Let’s make sure they pay the price — reputationally, economically, and in court when the DOJ finally remembers what justice means.

  Until then:
  If you need construction work done, don’t use Clark Construction.
  If you don’t, help spread the word using the guide to pressure boycotting the destroyers of our heritage here:

  The Ballroom for Ghosts

  Alternatives: Any company that didn’t tear down our house and replace it with a monstrosity.

• SodaStream: Occupation with Bubbles

  Ever tried SodaStream? It’s fine—like RC Cola when you were expecting Coke. That wrong aftertaste? That’s the taste of genocide.

  SodaStream’s fizz is built on apartheid infrastructure and made it clear, they valued profit over human life:

  • Tax breaks from the Israeli government

  • Expropriated Palestinian land

  • A permit system that kept workers dependent and disposable (a form of slavery).

  Palestinian employees described 12-hour shifts under surveillance, constant fear of firing, and daily humiliation.

  After global backlash, SodaStream relocated to a township built for forcibly displaced Bedouins. PR called it progress. Reality called it relocation of the same crime scene.

  The brand hides behind “eco-friendly” slogans while greenwashing apartheid and selling “coexistence” like it’s carbonation.

  We boycott not just the product—but the myth.

  Alternatives: Aarke ($200 one-time) or tap + CO2 cartridge hacks.

• Rolex and USTA (United States Tennis Association): What’s more on-the-nose than Rolex — the gleaming status symbol with Nazi propaganda roots — teaming up with tennis, the country-club sport of the elite, to feed us lies? That’s exactly what happened at the 2025 US Open. Trump swaggered into Rolex’s luxury suite, fist-pumping like a fascist mascot while the crowd booed. But you didn’t hear it. You didn’t see it. The USTA instructed broadcasters to censor the reaction. Rolex hosted the tyrant. USTA tried to hide the dissent. Together, they attempted a sanitized spectacle of authoritarian pageantry.

  And here’s the thing: boycotts work. We’ve already seen it. Company after company that bowed to Trump has been forced to squirm under the weight of public backlash. Boards of directors shifting in their seats, fidgeting like they’ve all come down with corporate IBS. That’s the pressure of people refusing to bankroll fascism.

  Rolex made a cold calculation: better to curry Trump’s favor than face 39% tariffs. But that calculation only holds if we let it. Boycotts flip the equation. They make CEOs game out the future and ask themselves: Do we care more about bending to this worthless old bag of shit—or do we do what’s right for the people? If the boycott is strong enough, the right decision gets made for them.

  And don’t think a Rolex boycott won’t bite just because most of us aren’t lining up to drop ten grand on a watch. That brand thrives on prestige, on the aura of untouchability. Strip that away, and every Rolex on every wrist becomes a shame-brand, the collapse-era Cybertruck strapped to your arm. A wrist-sized billboard for authoritarian worship.

• As for the USTA? That one’s simple. Don’t watch tennis. Don’t give them the clicks, the ratings, the ad money. If they want to turn a sport into a propaganda stage, they can do it without an audience.

• MyPillow (Mike Lindell’s MAGA empire): This bedroom-creeper crackhead makes a terrible product and is too MAGA even for Trump. His company’s already circling the drain, but finishing him off sends a message: back a disgusting orange despot and you go down too. Alternative? A real pillow.

• Pulte Homes (PulteGroup): Oh my God this entry is boring. No one knows who Pulte Homes is, and even when I tell you why they belong on this list, you’re going to say, “Yeah, okay, but it’s so fucking boring.”

  But you do know Pulte. You’ve driven past their handiwork: beige subdivisions metastasizing across farmland, cul-de-sacs curling like tumors. They didn’t invent vertical “Welcome” signs or backing into parking spots for no reason—but spiritually, they did. I’m just trying to give this entry flavor so we can survive it.

  They’re one of America’s biggest homebuilders. More importantly, they’re the family fortune that keeps Diamond Bill Pulte afloat.

  And who is Diamond Bill? Trump’s mini-me mortgage sheriff. A dynastic heir turned data troll. He earned the nickname because his behavior—especially online—mirrors Trump’s worst instincts: bombastic attacks, loyalty tests, and a flair for spectacle over substance.

  He now runs the Federal Housing Finance Agency like it’s his personal troll farm. He bought his way into Trumpworld with a $500,000 shell-company donation (via his wife, who may or may not exist), and now he’s weaponizing the housing market: digging into mortgage files to smear Trump’s enemies, handing data to Peter Thiel’s Palantir, and screaming “fraud” at Democrats while winking at Republican crooks like Ken Paxton.

  This is fascism in khakis. Inherited wealth turned into a cudgel. Housing policy used as a surveillance tool. The family name leveraged to crush oversight and hand the keys of Fannie and Freddie back to Wall Street.

  Every Pulte home is a brick in that empire. Every dollar strengthens the dynasty.

  Alternative: Buy from a local or regional builder. Support community land trusts, co-ops, or even Habitat for Humanity—anyone building homes for people instead of dynasties.

• UFC. The first rule of Dana White’s fight club is that we don’t talk about Dana White’s fight club because it’s an enabler of this fascist regime.

  UFC isn’t just about blood and punches; it’s become a political spectacle for the MAGA right. Dana White, UFC’s longtime president, has openly campaigned for Trump, spoken at RNC events, and turned UFC arenas into de facto rallies.

  The organization’s parent company, Endeavor, also has deep ties to Saudi money, and UFC has repeatedly platformed authoritarian-friendly narratives while shrugging off calls for accountability.

  This isn’t just about bad politics. It’s about feeding the machine: every pay-per-view buy, every t-shirt, every fight night puts more cash in the pockets of a leadership team that’s working overtime to normalize fascism.

  Alternative: Support independent promotions or smaller organizations that aren’t political megaphones for the far right. Or start your own fight club at home and never shut up about it.

• WWE: Hulk Hogan might be dead but the house that he helped build is the perfect combination of fascism, domestic violence, drug abuse, misogyny, and rape.

  And their CEO Linda McMahon? The moron can’t put two solid sentences together, but Krasnov himself has tasked her with dismantling the Department of Education. Because nothing says “MAGA utopia” like making the next generation even dumber and easier to control.

  Also, Vince McMahon has long been personal friends with Trump, even using WWE events (like WrestleMania) to elevate Trump’s image.

  WWE’s leadership has consistently aligned itself with far-right politics while union-busting and silencing its performers.

  • Profits from your subscriptions and tickets help bankroll the same political operatives tearing apart democracy.

  How to hit them:

  • Cancel WWE Network/Peacock subscriptions.

  • Skip live events, merch, and anything tied to WWE media.

  • Spread the word: your entertainment dollars are funding political rot.

  The Alternative: AEW (All Elite Wrestling)
  If you love wrestling but don’t want to bankroll Trump-world, AEW is a better option. Tony Khan’s company doesn’t have the same political baggage or history of funneling money to MAGA PACs. AEW isn’t perfect, but it’s not a pipeline for fascist cash.

  

  YETI

  Even if YETI were not propping up fascism, the fact that YETI once sent coupons to NRA members should make you question why you ever paid $400 for a cooler that does the exact same thing as a $4 Styrofoam box.

It wasn’t long ago they canceled a custom order from a women’s group just because it contained the word conservative. It’s a group I wouldn’t exactly be brunching with, but that kind of blind keyword censorship reeks of fascism. They claimed it was about staying “neutral.” Fine. Be neutral, but the bad man came sniffing around and we get this abomination from the “Trump Store.” Doesn’t look politically neutral, does it?

YETI isn’t Switzerland. YETI is cowardice in stainless steel. They’ll posture for whatever market segment looks safe, but when the wolf in the red tie huffs and puffs, YETI folds like cheap plastic.

So why are we paying hundreds of dollars to keep ice frozen? Was it for “status”? When you’re in chains, working the fields, will you brag to the other slaves, “I used to have a YETI cooler”? They’ll be impressed, I’m sure. No money to YETI, FFS.

Alternative: RTIC, Hydro Flask, or an Igloo cooler from the gas station. Keeps your beer just as cold without underwriting authoritarian cosplay.

• Koch Industries is one of the largest private companies in the world, and it’s been a slow-moving wrecking ball for democracy, climate and workers’ rights. Through a spiderweb of subsidiaries and dark money networks, they bankroll everything from right-wing think tanks to voter suppression bills. Even if they never tweet about it, Koch Industries has quietly helped lay the legal and financial groundwork for the fascist wave we’re now drowning in.
  Koch’s tentacles are everywhere, but here are some of their key consumer-facing or downstream brands and products:

  Georgia-Pacific is the most obvious part of their empire ripe for a boycott. Look for that Georgia Pacific label and toss it out of the grocery cart.

  • Brawny paper towels (mascot is a logging enthusiast), Angel Soft toilet paper (false God character, Trump like figure), Dixie cups & plates (Dixie celebrating the confederacy?), Vanity Fair napkins (is it vain to wipe stray food off our face?).

  • They also make additives used in Goodyear Tires, Firestone. Consider tire brands not reliant on Koch-supplied chemicals.

  • Koch makes many of the base chemicals in plastics, fertilizers, packaging, and cleaning supplies. Looking for suggestions on this one. I fear there may be no way to boycott them on this, but open to suggestions.

Home Depot

• The co-founder Bernie Marcus is dead (RIP), but the rot he planted still lives in those cavernous orange aisles. Home Depot poured millions into the campaigns of Donald Trump and GOP PACs. It gutted its own Diversity, Equity & Inclusion page — removing that policy from its website around March 2025. Meanwhile it stays stone-silent while parking-lot labor hubs are emptied in ICE raids—raids in which day-laborers once gathered outside Home Depot stores.

  The current CEO Ted Decker isn’t performing cartwheels for the MAGA crowd like Marcus might have—but he’s driving the same truck, just with less fanfare. The store is still part of the machine.

  Recent behavior to keep in mind:

  • Removal of a DEI statement signals retreat from corporate commitments to equity.

  • Home Depot’s silence on ICE-style enforcement operations at or near its lots invites questions of complicity or at least indifference.

  • Big-box dominance means Home Depot runs roughshod over smaller hardware co-ops while projecting a “community” façade.

  • Alternatives exist (see below) but this chain remains deeply entwined with power, politics, and surveillance economics.

  Alternatives: Go with Lowe’s (slightly less awful), Ace Hardware, or better yet your local co-op hardware store where the cash flow stays local and the politics are less aggressive.

Menards

• Menards: From Regional Hardware Chain to Surveillance & Suppression Hub

  Menards is what Home Depot used to be before they spread their nasty orange fascism all over the country. Regional, midwestern, maybe harmless—or so we thought. But now Menards is following in the same feeding-playbook: cruelty for profit, state apparatus enabled, and workers silenced.

🧨 Collapse-Era Snapshot: What Happened at Menards?

• Founded and led by John Menard Jr., a Republican megadonor, Menards has grown to over 300 stores across 14 states and is poised for further expansion. The company’s political footprint has grown alongside its footprint of stores.

  While once seen as a Midwestern alternative to Home Depot, Menards is now embracing the same playbook: political donations to GOP candidates and PACs, anti-worker practices, silence on human-rights issues—and now, direct complicity in state enforcement operations.

  The incident in Cicero, IL: At the Menards store in Cicero, Illinois, employees reported that Menards management instructed staff and contract security guards to delete any video footage of an ICE raid (including one where windows of a truck were smashed and a man was dragged into an unmarked car) or face termination.
  This is not just complicity. It’s active suppression of evidence. It’s the hardware chain becoming a node in the surveillance-and‐enforcement network.

• Every new Menards store does more than supply lumber—it becomes a touchpoint in a network that funnels money into authoritarian politics, enables immigration enforcement, and normalizes the silencing of dissent.

• The Cicero incident shows Menards is not just a passive beneficiary of corporate-state alignment—it is an active participant.

• Boycotting Menards isn’t just about choosing where to buy hardware—it’s about cutting off infrastructure that supports enforcement, monitoring, and corporate authoritarianism.

Alternatives: Ace Hardware, True Value, Independent hardware stores. Lowe’s is not on this list yet, but to be clear, they are bad. Local, independent every time. Gun to the head and no other choice? I guess Lowe’s, but scream “Fascists!” at them as you wheel around the store.

• Etsy: A marketplace built on handcrafted goodwill, now profiting from hate. From “Alligator Alcatraz” merch to illegal settlement listings, Etsy enables xenophobia while enforcing its rules unevenly. It silences Palestinian creators and prioritizes profit over principle. The platform is a haven for toxic novelty and apathy. They had an opportunity to step up and say, “We do not tolerate hate.” But apparently, they don’t only tolerate hate, they profit from it. Alternative: Make your own arts and crafts. It means more that way

• Uline (owners fund the fascist newsletter of your nightmares). Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein treat right-wing extremism like it’s Etsy — just fun little crafts they like to fund. Every time you buy your packing tape from Uline, you’re helping them wrap up another check to anti-democratic politicians and lunatics. Use someone else for your bubble wrap. Let the revolution ship itself.

• Equinox / SoulCycle (owner Stephen Ross held Trump fundraiser). Because nothing says wellness like a sweaty stationary bike ride paid for by a billionaire who helps fund authoritarianism. Take your spin class somewhere that doesn’t go full circle on democracy. Alternative: Instead of simulating a nice ride outdoors, how about actually taking a nice bike ride outdoors? Equinox/SoulCycle are the dystopian versions of a nice day in the park.

🕯 Estée Lauder — The Mirror That Lies

• I love when they prove us wrong.
  I hate when they keep proving us right.

  Estée Lauder was already on this list for good reason.
  She’s practically the case study in corporate villainy — that special blend of amoral marketing and moral rot that powers the whole machine.

  And no, this boycott isn’t about who you backed in the New York mayor’s race.
  It’s about what you back now.
  Because if you still oppose billionaires in theory but swipe your card for their products in practice, the beast still gets fed.

  So let’s start here:
  Members of the Lauder family — heirs to the Estée Lauder fortune — poured millions into PACs built to defeat Zohran Mamdani, one of the few politicians openly threatening billionaire power.
  Ronald Lauder alone dropped roughly $750 K.
  Jo Carole Lauder, half a million.
  William Lauder, another million.
  All to protect the gilded class from a candidate who dared say the quiet part loud: that wealth should serve people, not own them.

  They saw him as an existential threat.
  And that tells you everything you need to know about where their loyalties — and your lipstick money — really go.

• Estée Lauder was a real person:
  she invented the “free gift with purchase,” helped Ronald Reagan into the White House,
  and spent her life perfecting the glossy dystopia we now call normal.

  If Estée Lauder had never lived, would Donald Trump be president?
  Would MAGA exist?
  Probably not.

  And none of you can prove her grouchy heir Ronald isn’t secretly the love-child of Estée and Reagan.
  Probably not true.
  But not false enough.

  Ronald Lauder — board member, heir, and Trump megadonor — once called the former president. Employees begged the company to distance itself. They didn’t.

  Meanwhile, the conglomerate props up dictators abroad, looks away from child labor in its supply chains, and hides behind shiny counters at Macy’s while jasmine is picked by kids in Egypt.
  Their “cruelty-free” pledge vanishes the second China demands animal testing.
  And when caught?
  They lawyer up — not clean up.

• If you’re buying La Mer, you’re bankrolling La Fascism.
  If you’re buying MAC, you’re funding MAGA.
  If you’re buying Clinique, you’re buying silence.

  They have built an empire on the illusion of innocence — polish as absolution, perfume as forgiveness.
  Don’t inhale it.

Alternatives

e.l.f. — clean, cheap, unapologetic.

Fenty Beauty — inclusive, bold, still human-run.

Glossier — millennial cult, but at least it’s not fascist.

Honest Company — ethical, transparent, functional.

• Revlon (CEO Ron Perelman donated to GOP causes). Because why stop at aging your skin when you can also age our civil liberties? I don’t know for sure that is the brand of eyeliner JD Vance uses, but probably. Alternative: I always thought JD was probably a Cover Girl, but you should probably choose any brand of makeup other than Revlon.

• Airbnb: Profits from disaster and displacement—from Gaza to Florida. Enables human trafficking, gentrification, and exploitation. Turns tragedy into revenue. 0 stars. Literal vulture capitalism. Alternative: Vrbo. Or stay at a hotel like in the before time.

• Marriott: Remember 2019? Aaah, 2019. Before COVID. Before January 6. Back when reasonable people did reasonable things for reasonable reasons. You probably missed it when Marriott announced that year they would never aid immigration enforcement.

  Fast forward six years. A creepy old pervert and 34-time felon tells them he wants to kidnap innocent people and stash them in a Sheraton in Louisiana. And Marriott says: no problem. “Keep your kidnap victims here. How many key cards do you need?”

  I could go on, but that’s enough, right? Boycott Marriott, Sheraton, Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn: check before you stay.

  Alternatives: Hyatt (publicly opposed Trump’s Muslim ban and has stronger labor practices), Hilton (union-friendly and hasn’t been caught hosting ICE captives), boutique/independent hotels (often more ethical and community-based).

• Carshield is as close to an outright scam masquerading as a legitimate business as any on this list. Like MyPillow, they will probably die out on their own, but hiring psycho Sean Spicer as a spokesman tells us everything we need to know about their politics. Surely, not even MAGAs buy fake auto warranties just because Sean Spicer told them to, but maybe. This company is awful in other ways.

  Consumer complaints are rampant and FTC fines total $10 million. Bringing on Sean Spicer as spokesperson probably aims for attention, but underscores just how tone-deaf and desperate the branding has become. No sign of any meaningful diversity, equity, or inclusion efforts—just a shady operation profiting off confusion. A lot like the Trump regime.

• Bayer (Monsanto)

  Yeah, I’m cheating a little. Monsanto “doesn’t exist” anymore—Bayer ate it. But they didn’t kill the monster. They became it. Bayer’s name might make you think of your mom handing you aspirin, but these bastards are biotech war criminals in a friendlier font.

  Why Bayer Belongs on the Wall of Shame:

  • Bayer helped fund the Holocaust. As part of IG Farben, they used Auschwitz slave labor and rehired convicted Nazis after the war like it was just a staffing hiccup.

  • They now push Roundup (glyphosate), the world’s most litigated herbicide—67,000+ lawsuits and over $10 billion paid to people it allegedly gave cancer.

  • Still lobbying to shield themselves from lawsuits in Iowa, Georgia, North Dakota, etc. Think Elon Musk with fewer tweets and more corpses.

  • Keeps killing ecosystems with pesticides like neonics, GMO dominance, and biodiversity collapse.

  • Tracks critics, builds watchlists, suppresses activists, and bankrolls right-wing power via BAYERPAC.

  How to Punch Them in the Wallet:

  Boycott Bayer-branded products:

  • Roundup (glyphosate-based herbicides)

  • Common meds: Aspirin, Aleve, Claritin, One‑A‑Day, Xarelto, Mirena/Yaz, Cipro, etc.

  Can’t fully ditch pharma? Fine. Start with Roundup. And support local, organic, non-GMO options wherever possible.

  Why It Matters:

  Bayer isn’t just a greedy corporation. They are the corporate embodiment of fascism. This is scientific authoritarianism: deregulated, corporate, and shielded by PR. The goal isn’t just to ding their profits. It’s to expose how deregulation, legal immunity, and weaponized science are the architecture of modern fascism.

• American Express. Never mind that they defraud their own customers. Never mind that they’re a soulless, platinum-plated entity with a history of siding against workers, fairness, and basic dignity. Never mind that they quietly torched their DEI policies—turning away qualified candidates because they weren’t straight, weren’t white, weren’t born in 1950 and dipped in narcissism.

  Never mind all that?

  No. Don’t.

  That’s exactly why they deserve the boycott. Stop using their cards. Stop paying their fees. Stop pretending they’re anything but status symbols for hollow men.

  Alternatives? Visa and Mastercard aren’t exactly moral icons, but at least they don’t pretend. And cash—cash never lied to you, never ran ads about diversity while quietly shredding it.

• I think Hendrick Automotive Group (and Hendrick Motorsports) was jealous of their Penske NASCAR rival. They want everything Penske has and more, even if it’s just a spot on this boycott guide. So when Penske landed in the crosshairs of every boycotter north of Charlotte by renting ICE their trucks for Trump’s kidnapping scheme, Hendrick said: Hold my trophy filled with warm milk.

  They decided to one‑up their rival by selling ICE the SUVs used to rip families apart, frame innocent citizens, zip‑tie toddlers, and terrorize communities. Congratulations, Hendrick. You didn’t just match Penske’s sins—you pole‑vaulted over them. Enjoy your new slot above Penske as the biggest corporate shitbags on four wheels.

  Why They’re Here (The Sins, The Filth, The Receipts)

  1. Direct ICE contracts — Hendrick’s technical arm signed multimillion‑dollar deals to supply Chevrolet Tahoes to ICE enforcement ops. They chose to profit from raids and family separations.

  2. Dealership complicity — Hendrick Automotive Group dealerships have been linked to facilitating ICE sales. Selling oppression isn’t a mistake; it’s a business model.

  3. Racism in the workplace — A Black employee sued after coworkers taunted him with monkey references. That’s not “one bad apple.” That’s rot in the orchard.

  4. Consumer exploitation — Hundreds of BBB complaints: predatory financing, service scams, lemon sales. They’ll sell you a broken car, then charge triple to fix it.

  5. NASCAR empire laundering its image — Hendrick Motorsports (separate company, same owners and operators) waves checkered flags and tacky motorsports gear while funneling profits into authoritarian pipelines.

  Close Your Wallet:

  • Hendrick Automotive Group dealerships: new cars, used cars, service, financing, maintenance.

  • Hendrick Motorsports team merch: apparel, hats, die‑casts, fan gear, online stores.

  • HendrickCars.com: their online sales platform plastered across race cars.

  • Affiliate services: collision centers, parts departments, luxury dealerships.

  • Corporate partners: any brand proudly wearing Hendrick sponsorship patches.

  Alternatives for car sales: Locally owned dealerships. Anyone not currently fueling fascism or profiting from from far right idealogy.

  Alternatives for Motorsports: Vintage racing gear earns them nothing. Any racing team not profiting from ICE. (Trackhouse, 23XI Racing)

  For everything else: If Hendrick sells it, buy literally anything else. A skateboard taped to a lawnmower. A haunted Civic with 240,000. All better than a Hendrick vehicle.

• Penske Truck Rental: “Because fascism doesn’t move itself.”

  That should be their slogan.

  ICE uses Penske to relocate detainees—including kids. White supremacists used one to crash a Pride parade. Penske condemned it after it went viral. Not before.

  They say they didn’t know. But they keep renting. To ICE. To hate groups. To anyone with a credit card and a plan.

  Penske isn’t just renting trucks. They’re fueling state terror. If they want off this list, they could try telling ICE to fuck off.

  Better Options: U-Haul (less ICE entanglement). Local truck rentals (more oversight, less fascism).

• Brown-Forman: You might not know the name, but you sure know the bottles: Jack Daniel’s, Herradura Tequila, Woodford Reserve. The ground zero for blackout drunks everywhere.

  As if they weren’t already bleeding from the Canadian boycott, they went and bowed to Trump faster than a cheap barstool, ditching DEI and hiring white men whether or not they’re the most qualified. Corporate regression on tap.

  And let’s be real: what good has hard liquor ever done for society besides car wrecks and morning regrets? Let’s end them

  Alternative: Craft distilleries that haven’t sold their souls, union breweries, BIPOC-owned brands, and Canadian distilleries that put community before culture wars.

This list isn’t finished — it’s alive. It mutates, it adapts, it gets stronger every time one of you shares a lead, a receipt, or a grudge against a billionaire. If there’s a company we missed, put it in the comments or contact @psychopete on Bluesky (or @psychopete1 on substack), scream it from a rooftop, or tape it to a half-eaten Chick-fil-A sandwich and hurl it through a Hobby Lobby window. We’ll add it.

And here’s the real secret weapon: we can slow it all down. Resist the urge to spend unless absolutely necessary. Don’t feed the beast with your dollars. Necessities only. Every delayed purchase, every dollar withheld is a small protest. A chink in the armor of the fascists’ machine.

We’re building this together, one fascist dollar withheld at a time.

What You Can Do:

1. Stop feeding the beast. Spend slower. Delay purchases. Cancel auto-renewals.

2. Share the list. Post, print, tattoo it on your forehead.

3. Add to the resistance. Comment @psychopete on Bluesky with additions, receipts, proof.

4. Join the thread. Visit the pinned post at Bluesky link and say what you’re boycotting, even if it’s just one brand. Proof of concept matters.

5. Subscribe to updates.

This is a living list. It changes. It sharpens. It strikes back.

Every fascist dollar withheld is one step closer to ending this machine.
