Iβve noticed my apartment buildingβs Amazon orders have decreased by like 90% lately. From piles and piles of boxes in the delivery area to like a few here and there on top of mailboxes. Wow, you can do it when you put your mind into it. Iβve been boycotting Amazon orders for like 15 years btw. β
Tons of folks don't follow news & may think of Trump as a successful business man due to the Apprentice.
Know anyone like that? In case they missed it, recommend the 2018 documentary "The Confidence Man," S1.E6 of Netflix's DIRTY MONEY.

are we allowed to point out they're targeting women and minorities then replacing them with unqualified white men or is that woke DEI
Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as an ally in the fight.
A picture inside the Omaha venue in which hundreds are seen standing and listening to Bernie Sanders. Many have their phones in the air recording it and it is a generally young crowd.
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

NEW by me:
Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025.
