True. And. If we don't allow people to "join the cause" later, even if for self-motivated reasons, we'll always be outnumbered. Better late than never. AND yet, you're still right. We can continue to advocate for prioritizing human rights over capitalism while we fight a common enemy.
I agree with you. Even if people or companies join the side of speaking out against this administration and what they are doing, we should not turn our backs on them. We actually need all of them in order to make change. It should not matter why people or companies have come to a decision to oppose Trumps administration. If we don't accept them then we are no better. I get many didn't come to this realization until it affected them. Sometimes people have to have a that personal effect for them to be able to see what is actually happening, but people make mistakes. We all make mistakes but we need to accept them and welcome them to the side of giving a shit about our country. It's going to take great numbers in the primary elections to overcome what is happening. If we still even have a country by then.
And I totally understand that. It takes some deep soul searching for me but I know deep down it's the right thing to do and we need everyone we can get to change things in the primaries. For me it's bigger than how I personally feel toward people who voted for this. It's about our country and the men and women who died fighting for us. It's about the world we are leaving for my grandchildren. It's about right and wrong. I want our country back bad enough to accept those who don't support what's going on anymore. My feelings for wanting our country back are more important to me than the feelings I have toward those who were supporting this. But that's me. I realize everyone needs to make their own choice.
I feel you. Because it's short-lived. As soon as they aren't "hurting" they go right back to voting against their own self-interest and ours but I guess we have to let them slink over to the right side of history...finally.
The few idiots who voted for Trump because "it will be good for the economy" (my ex-wife was a Hillary Clinton hater and mostly lapsed Catholic) will possibly reflect on the beauty of Confession.
Policies of Trump, the Board, and the local government will be repudiated during May Day marches
A coalition of 16 political, student, community, and social organizations will demonstrate this Thursday, May 1, as part of International Workers' Day events, carrying a message against the policies of the Fiscal Control Board and the government of Puerto Rico. Among the organizations are several student groups, as well as EDUCAMOS and the "Promises Are Over" campaign.
Trump's policies endanger billions of people around the world
In its annual report on the state of human rights around the world, Amnesty International issued a stark warning: the world is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, intensified by the so-called "Trump effect," a destructive influence that is accelerating the global decline in fundamental rights.
It took Tariffs to make him part ways with Trump not our human rights being taken away. They only care if it benefits them. Keep them on your ahit list.
Bezos is not being nice. He does not want to lose even $1 and is saying “stay with me. this is not my fault.” It IS his fault! He has spent tens of millions to support this regime. He just doesn’t want any consequences. Shocker. Stay away from Amazon! ALL media should be calling him out for this manipulative BS.
I agree(he is only a 1/3 of the problem) but, by “acknowledging” , he isn’t “hiding” and divulging the rise in cost makes him semi human and shows that Amazon isn’t “price gouging or taking advantage of the increase
It is business. I get it. Bezo's need to help guide us toward authoritarianism was not just business. He showed who he is and I will not be fooled twice.
I think ALL BUSINESSES SHOULD! I think this FANTASTIC .. it shows he is “acknowledging what he allowed to happen, and showing no price gouging
Regardless, of nice or not .. ALL BUSINESSES should show an actual account unlike the grocery stores (I kno around my area are trying to profit more by the cost of groceries .) they (grocery stores should 100% do the same thing! And should have been doing since all this began!) at least Bezos is “kinda realizing his initial thought”?
Have been buying less from Amazon . Maybe this will put him in the good billionaire column. Needs to do a better job of taking care of his employees first.
He needs to lead with his actions. Complaining about losing money does not make him a good billionaire. The bar should be very high! These men keep their own bars very low and keep ours very high. We all need to expect him to, and make him, work to gain any ounce of respect and every penny he is begging for.
Unfortunately I understand that Amazon Marketplace (shopping) is his smallest division. His other Business ventures-- in particular the CLOUD storage is much bigger. (probably others as well.)
Amazon is still the worst. Amazon works hard to crush small businesses and harm their own workers. One example: Last Saturday, April 26, they actively worked to undercut national independent booksellers’ day by putting their “book sale” on the same day and price gouging even more. And Bezo$ likes nothing better than tech bro-ing around, destroying American democracy.
Well Besos backed down! Can’t afford to lose that maga customer. Well his cowardly decision has not only put him on the bad list again but will hurt his brand even more. A cuban immigrant adopted him and his current wife is Latina. He belongs back in the Cesspool with the rest of these evil billionaires!
Bezos finally realized that the boycotts against Amazon for not only buddying up with Trump, but also his attitude against Unions caught up with him. The tariffs created the proverbial "stick that broke the camel's back". Still not going to help the consumer, but he's hoping by doing this the higher prices won't cause the finger pointed back at him.
Right wrong or indifferent.. at least he is showing something of attempting to correct an injustice, he has somewhat of a “ oral code/obligation” .. he didn’t HAVE to show the changes .. HE CHOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Too late. The only thing I’ve purchased on Amazon is a 6.99 iPad case for my dinosaur device. I canceled all subscriptions and went to other sources. We absolutely were conditioned to think we needed Amazon. Not anymore. They need us more than we need them.
The app Goods Unite Us is wonderful. After 15 years of only wearing Brooks, I’m wearing Nike and ASICS because they don’t donate to spineless, racist, homophobic, grapist supporting fascists.
definitely a great starting point to choose the brand that has the “least evil” footprint. although all brands all big companies are exploitative. but it’s unrealistic (especially as an american consumer where only like 3 big corps own all the other smaller brands, essentially creating monopolies) to completely avoid big brands. at this point, it’s all about what’s cheapest, who can we give the e least amount of money to, if that makes any sense.
I hadn’t bought anything since Jan 20 and then I got a notification from them saying my book order went through 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. It was book that I preordered in December of ‘24! Ugh!🤦🏻♀️
I cancelled prime and have purchased one thing in the almost 6 months I stopped shopping there. Amazing how it turns out I don’t need to support bezos and I can support small and local businesses
This is so true! Why take away the experience of finding these things we're buying, out of it? I bought 1 thing and it was a toy for my son (very specific) and I had looked EVERYWHERE. 1 thing in 3 years.
Probably because Biden wasn't responsible or the cause of high inflation, you dumbass. That was your boy, in addition to supply chains shortages due to the pandemic. Biden got us out of inflation, lowering it 2.1% right before he left office.
I didn’t have Amazon on my nice list but I love this!
They still shouldn’t be. Now that it impacts them they decide to not stand with trump.
True. And. If we don't allow people to "join the cause" later, even if for self-motivated reasons, we'll always be outnumbered. Better late than never. AND yet, you're still right. We can continue to advocate for prioritizing human rights over capitalism while we fight a common enemy.

I completely agree with you... in theory. Finding it hard to make nice in real life.
And I totally understand that. It takes some deep soul searching for me but I know deep down it's the right thing to do and we need everyone we can get to change things in the primaries. For me it's bigger than how I personally feel toward people who voted for this. It's about our country and the men and women who died fighting for us.

Agree 💯 and we need all the help we can get. The more Billionaires the better because that’s who the FOTUS wants on his side.
I feel you. Because it's short-lived. As soon as they aren't "hurting" they go right back to voting against their own self-interest and ours but I guess we have to let them slink over to the right side of history...finally.
Think of it as an errant child coming "Home". A conversion to TRUTH.
right on the nose !
They follow the money.

EXACTLY. Bezos' bottom line is hurting so now he reacts. BASTARD.
Bezos is not being nice. He does not want to lose even $1 and is saying “stay with me. this is not my fault.” It IS his fault! He has spent tens of millions to support this regime. He just doesn’t want any consequences. Shocker. Stay away from Amazon! ALL media should be calling him out for this manipulative BS.

I was! No more.
I was! No more.
I was! No more.
I was! No more.
I was! No more.
I was! No more.
I think ALL BUSINESSES SHOULD! I think this FANTASTIC .. it shows he is “acknowledging what he allowed to happen, and showing no price gouging

And then DJT called, and he backed down.
I am aware …hypocrisy 🤬🤦🏻♀️

Let's see something bigger from him, allow a union for his workers.
They reversed according to AP news. What does that mean for us? We MUST APPLY PRESSURE. We MUST fight this COMPLICIT slide. We CANNOT be complacent.
Right wrong or indifferent.. at least he is showing something of attempting to correct an injustice, he has somewhat of a “ oral code/obligation” .. he didn’t HAVE to show the changes .. HE CHOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING
Not on my nice list either. I deleted my account. I really miss my Kindle……..
Me too. The kindle and available books are the hardest to replace. Wish That I loved the nook.

Me too! About time they stood against him in some way
I couldn't have said that any better! Agree!!!!
the only reason amazon is saying ANYTHING is because it definitely is hurting them financially and they’re just trying to get on customers good side.
Too late. The only thing I’ve purchased on Amazon is a 6.99 iPad case for my dinosaur device. I canceled all subscriptions and went to other sources. We absolutely were conditioned to think we needed Amazon. Not anymore. They need us more than we need them.
this mindset goes for all big corps. none of them have our interest
The app Goods Unite Us is wonderful. After 15 years of only wearing Brooks, I’m wearing Nike and ASICS because they don’t donate to spineless, racist, homophobic, grapist supporting fascists.
definitely a great starting point to choose the brand that has the “least evil” footprint. although all brands all big companies are exploitative. but it’s unrealistic (especially as an american consumer where only like 3 big corps own all the other smaller brands, essentially creating monopolies) to completely avoid big brands. at this point, it’s all about what’s cheapest, who can we give the e least amount of money to, if that makes any sense.
It does!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯. I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE WITH amazon UNLESS THEY RETURN DEI POLICIES !!!!!
DITTO
I hadn’t bought anything since Jan 20 and then I got a notification from them saying my book order went through 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. It was book that I preordered in December of ‘24! Ugh!🤦🏻♀️
I may have to amend my post. I had a couple book preorders come across, too.
While I was totally happy to see my book come through, I was so pissed off that I gave him money lol
A triple heart for you.
Same here! To hell with Amazon!
don’t let it work y’all!
I cancelled prime and have purchased one thing in the almost 6 months I stopped shopping there. Amazing how it turns out I don’t need to support bezos and I can support small and local businesses
I’m holding myself accountable for becoming so lazy. I had forgotten it’s actually fun to comparison shop when I can’t find it locally!
This is so true! Why take away the experience of finding these things we're buying, out of it? I bought 1 thing and it was a toy for my son (very specific) and I had looked EVERYWHERE. 1 thing in 3 years.
Exactly. 👍🏻 ⬆️
I boycotted them in February as well as Target and Walmart.
I 100% agree, but I'm still glad to see them stirring the pot with this move. It will help more people wake up to what's happening.
I’m confused. I thought Bezos was on the orange felon’s side. He was cheering for him at the inauguration.
We voted with our wallets. The tariffs hurt his company. He’s losing money and regretting supporting Danger Yam?
Sure seems like it.
Of course. And it’s working!
Why they are doing it is clear !
The face they are doing it is good !
Others will follow and it’s good to know it!
Didn't they bankroll his inauguration?
Yes. I’m still say FU to Amazon.
Bezos is responsible for the tariffs by supporting Trump. Reap what you sow, bro.
Exactly... Have the day you deserve! This is what you asked for!
i have no love for amazon/bezos, but also hell yeah (both feelings can coexist).
Is Amazon still making Malaria’s biopic film? I was so looking forward to NOT fucking watching it.
They could regain my business if they cancel that deal!
Yeah. “I really don’t care. Do you? “ 😏😎
A $40 million dollar double deal.
Who, in their right mind, would watch that trash?
They could also put those stickers of Trump that say “I did this” for a little extra visibility lol
Aww that's great. They are still on my no shop list as they only stepped up when it hurt their business. 🤷🏽♀️
Amazon is not going to cost me a thing. I quit shopping with then in January.
This was not part of my 2025 Bingo Card, but it is about time to hold this Administration accountable!
Why didn't they do that with Biden?
Probably because Biden wasn't responsible or the cause of high inflation, you dumbass. That was your boy, in addition to supply chains shortages due to the pandemic. Biden got us out of inflation, lowering it 2.1% right before he left office.
But yeah you don't mention that do you.
Yeah as much as I love this, screw Amazon. They are literally one of the worst employers and Bezos is still a creep.
I was on the SHEIN app and they noted the tariffs and the prices that were changed.
I’m still boycotting Amazon.
I’m glad Amazon is doing this. I don’t care why, just glad!
They also gave him $40 million for rights to a Melania documentary. They are not the good guys, don’t forget that.
