A reminder of why we need to vote with our wallets, as these companies have rigged the system in their favour.

"Trump Presidential Library" - about to contain a handful of coloring books. But gold-plated ones, of course. With golf motives.

For-profit businesses are for profit. It's kind of the whole point. Any and all behavior is an attempt to increase capital and decrease costs. What individuals can do is come together to decrease their profits namely through boycotting. If the drop in profits is great enough they will head in the new directions of increasing profits aka what the people want.

Isn't listing only the number of projects-donated-to pretty much useless; when the amount donated to 1, could be more than everything-else by everyone-else combined?

It’s an investment - donate $1M, save $5M in tax. For them, it’s a no brainer business decision.

Massive companies exist to make money for themselves, and any virtue signalling they do on the side is solely done as advertising. Give your money to small businesses that deserve it and to the companies that employ people in your local community, not to places that will turf humans on their ass as quickly as technology allows it.

You definitely can, at least any services and products that are public facing unless for some reason you work in government procurement and or logistics somewhere where you can deny them contracts.

If you are into investing, you can effectively avoid big tech by not buying any US large cap.

These are the official projects.

The unofficial ones include:

  • Sabotaging the 2026 midterms
  • Suppressing the Epstein Files
  • Screwing charities over for his personal gain
  • Facilitating corruption for his cronies
  • Duping the rubes for expensive Truth Social subscriptions
  • Lying about the Iran War (and really lying about everything)
  • Persecuting minorities
  • Screwing consumers and allied countries over with stupid tariffs
  • Shitting his pants
