The DJT Resistance
Bryan York...
"The DJT Resistance" is a new organization launched by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King. The group proposes boycotting companies whose top officials support Trump. "Join The Resistance," the group says, "Where WE make hatred bigotry, xenophobia, sexism, racism, and greed pay the price."
I will only boycott the Patriots after they win the Super Bowl ... Again!
Go ahead. do it.
Send him your $$$. After all he's done so well with it before.
Where Did All the Money Shaun King Raised for Black Lives Go?

There was an election
Donald J. Trump won.
Not going to be as naive as I was when Obama was elected, but as I don't expect anything from President-elect Trump, willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
If there were only two choices, and honestly, that's all we had, I'd definitely prefer Trump. Positive about one thing - the Clintons aren't going back to the White House!
It's a three ring circus.

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
That'd be nice... if the Free Trade agreements...
That Obama put into place hadn't made boycotts effectively masturbation.
See you on the picket line, Shaun. Oh wait... you don't do that.
See, when I support boycotts, they're supported by unions. Only Boycott I'm supporting right now is the one against video game publishers. Yes, I gave up buying games because they treat their workers horribly and a strike has been called.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
I'm a big Shaun King fan.
He has addressed the issue of the BLM donations many times. All of the money was used properly.
I'm interested in what kind of boycott he is calling for. But I'm not going to do what some of the Bitter Clinton Loyalists are doing and stop using Amazon because it sells Ivanka Trump's handbags. I'll gladly participate in a boycott against companies who profit from police violence, war, and the stupid wall on the border. But I'm not boycotting anything Trump touches just because Trump.
Amazon.com supporting slave labor wasn't enough for
them to boycott Amazon, but handbags are? Their priorities seem to be a bit tinged with utter stupidity and selfishness.

I'll give their recommended boycotts a look-see. Might be
a handy guide to avoiding some pretty nasty companies. But not giving money to such an effort. I'll probably need every cent to buy from smaller companies!

Boycotting the whole list except PayPal!
But I mostly use PayPal for donations, from which they don't get a cut. I'm sure I cost them more money, sending money to friends and families, than they ever extract from me.

I had not gotten all of his backstory before that dailybeast
blurb. Man, running a charitable organization, or bunches of them, can really spin off good working payouts for the owners! I had no knowledge of his mega-church affiliation. Busy man.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
New Balance
One of the few sneakers made in America. I have a pair on right now. So, I buy Chinese made sneakers from now on and hurt the American workers making the very few sneakers left here so we can stick it to New Balance? I like Shaun but I don't think so....
