It's encouraging to see how many of them have openly stayed committed

Mutual aid is of critical importance now.

I'm happy to have helped you.

I obv appreciate the iniciative, but as a pragmatist I am sceptical about how effective boycotts (if that's what you have in mind) can actually be. Especially of they're only partial, as they almost always are.

Reactionaries had pretty decent success with pushing Bud Light and Target rightward (during the Biden years).

If you can make a big thing of it and viscously target a single company, it could work. Might as well try 🤷

It's not like boycotting stuff can't be done at the same time as more direct advocacy. If anything, they complement each other.

That's fair

Great list! Helpful to reinforce my own mental BDS list. Gotta love a spreadsheet ❤️
