Moderate turned pretty hard left progressive by the Trump era. Got infected with the "woke mind virus" somewhere along the way.

"The right keeps us fighting a culture war while we're trying to start a class war."

Now that Trump has been elected again, I think we should keep this quote in mind for the next 4 years:

One way to #protest and #resist the orange menace is to #boycott companies that support the right wing. This website helps. Just asked our #csa to stop using their paper bags. #RefuseUline

Refuse Uline

Uline is a purposely political company aligned with extreme right-wing ideology. Despite their politics, millions of small businesses and artists still use ULINE completely unaware of what their dollars are supporting. This needs to end now. Let's refuse to use uline.

#Unilever who controls 5 of the world's top 10 selling #IceCream brands is looking to unload its entire frozen treats portfolio. Perhaps dealing with iconoclastic Ben & Jerry's insistence on #Boycott of sales in the occupied territories just tired the #Rotterdam based brand aggregator out, but they have directed a legal team to shed their sweet frozen treats portfolio including names like #Popsicle , #Klondike #Breyers, #Magnum, #Cornetto #Walls #Talenti and #GoodHumor that do close to $8 billion a year in sales.

Unilever to split off ice cream business and cut 7,500 jobs

The Democratic party should use this inflection point to shift ground – from being the party of well-off college graduates, big corporations, “never-Tumpers” like Dick Cheney and vacuous “centrism” – to an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of the vast majority of Americans.

This is and should be the Lesson of the 2024 election.

I almost forgot to follow up on this. I Tried "Beyond Good" chocolate, and It was pretty good. The price seemed reasonable too (on sale for $3 a bar).

I tried the 85% and 63% Sea Salt. This'll be my new go to chocolate for now. Still interested if anyone has other suggestions.

I happened to see John Oliver's episode on chocolate about six months back, and decided to stop eating dark chocolate cold turkey. I'm really missing it, so I decided to go looking for Ethical Alternatives. I found the www.slavefreechocolate.org site. They specifically mention that Tony's Chocolonely is not on the list. Does anyone have any other sources of info?

What about Ronny?

In all this talk about Tim Walz's military rank being question, I heard someone also mention that Trump's best buddy Ronny Jackson listed his retired rank (on his congressional bio) as rear admiral even though he was demoted to captain.

I haven't seen Vance going after him.
