  • While I disagree with the usual joke that says “corporations are people,” I do think they represent the people who run them. In modern USA, our big companies are infinitely more powerful than our government, and it seems like SOME of them should be putting up a fight, standing up for their queer employees, Hispanic customers or at least the Palestinian family members of the board. Literally no one with real power is opposing this fascist takeover, and it fucking disgusts me. Companies are jumping at the chance to appease orange Hitler, and all struck down their gay pride policies before even being ordered or threatened. I guess somehow I was naive enough to hope that Starbucks or Patagonia or Target would pretend to resist the erasure of queer people, or even just push the oppressors into a courtroom before kneeling down to lick their spray tanned boots. This is America. Land of the cowards.
