We need these gun cunts that have been preaching 2a their whole lives to stand up and fucking practice what they preach.

I’m not pro 2a, but I’m far more “fuck hypocrites”. It further reinforces how absolutely worthless I think a majority of these people are.

That was the biggest surprise to me. I’m guessing the fear of retribution drove the decision for some, but others found an opportunity to make the changes

Yea… It looks like Coca-Cola hasn’t officially done the deed yet, but it’s assumed they have or will.

The Bad:

Topline Citigroup

PepsiCo

JPMorgan Chase

Morgan Stanley

* Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were preparing to comply with Trump’s executive order that sought to ban DEI programs as both receive government contracts, Bloomberg reported; Coca-Cola’s changes will likely be disclosed in future Securities and Exchange Commission filings, according to the report, and PepsiCo’s latest filing removed references to its “diverse workforce” and DEI.

The Good:

Costco

Apple

Delta Airlines

Cisco

Deutsche Bank

NFL

Coca-Cola**

** Coca-Cola warned in an annual filing that abandoning DEI could hurt business, stating its diverse employee base “helps drive a culture of inclusion, innovation and growth,” and if the company’s employees don’t reflect the “broad range of consumers and markets we serve around the world, our business could be negatively affected.”

There is a lot more context and there are varying levels of shittyness, so it’s worth reading if that matters to you. To me, it’s all the same.

It shouldn’t just be difficult, they should be in fear everytime they are in public.

ICE can eat my asshole. I will obstruct their racist efforts any opportunity that I can.

The optimist in me sees that there was enough pressure from the masses that change happened. Maybe that means it can work elsewhere too. Maybe my optimistic side will be right for once.

Probably not, but it would cool, eh?

2a

Knock on wood.

Kentucky is beautiful and full of whiskey and bourbon. Unfortunately, its also full of racists and bigots. It’s too bad that such a nice place is just ruined like that.

I’m in Iowa, and “Iowa nice” was kind of our phrase for a while, but that’s just false. If you’re a minority in Iowa, you will be targeted. This state has gone from one of the most progressive to one of the worst over the past 10+ years, and it’s because of Gov Reynolds and her ilk. Miller-Meeks jumped on the band wagon to sue the Des Moines Register for the election pollin, Ernst’s tongue is as black as Trumps boots, and the rep in NW Iowa is as bad as they come. I saw someone that announced running for Gov who doesn’t think Reynolds is supporting Trump’s agenda enough and wants to go further. If anyone’s thinking about it, do not consider moving to Iowa, it’s a shit hole that has cancer causing chemicals running through our ground water and legislation to protect the chemical makers from being sued.

Sorry for the tangent, but I really needed to dunk on Iowa. Fuck this place.

When you pretend 100% of the time to cater to fascists, then you’re not pretending, you’re just catering to fascists. Fun fact, there’s an actual name for those people: “fascists”.

The brains take over the world.

(It was a reference to Futurama in case my reference was a bit to obscure, not an accidental typo)

Ouch… But true.

My prediction is that father time will ensure that this is true, because I don’t think he survives until the 2026 midterms. When people start falling for no raisin, their days are limited.

I dare this fat fuck to stick his head out in public again. Ideally he will and it will be the last time I ever have to see his stupid face intact.

Simmer down there Sparky. No need to be so aggressive.

Fucking strike anyway. What are they gonna do?
