Fuck all these corporations

that have fucking bankrolled the terrorist Retrumplican Party for decades, and now want to offer their female employees travel money to access reproductive health.

Look, it's pretty effing simple.

Nothing will change. The fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund it

Say it with me...GENERAL STRIKE!

I work for a corporation, and my retirement is based on a 401(k) with probably thousands of corporations. Sure as hell can't rely on social security. That's retirement "fun money" for many.

Anyway, boycotts and strikes never work in the long run.

Calm down and come up with a better idea.

There are women that are going to be assisted by the money to get Healthcare in another state. It sucks that this is the situation but here we are.

In that realm it's called "rainbow washing" when a corporation puts up a Pride flag in June but otherwise doesn't act as an ally. It's nothing more than a crass marketing move.

So now the community calls them on it, on platforms like Twitter, by posting their political donations ratio or amounts they've given to insurrectionist Republicans, and so on.

The same should be done any time Corporations pretend to be supportive in the short term but play a much longer game via which party they support.

And after the heat dies down somewhat, the same LGBTQ-friendly eco-concerned conglomerates will go right on giving to GQP candidates as they always have world without end amen.

Fuck 'em.
