     @stevenodb @Niall @Lurkle Yeah, that’s why it’s called resistance and not a vacation.

     @Lurkle @aral Tim
     Cook probably didn’t vote for the orange baboon, but he does have to deal with the fallout. Putting his fingers on his ears and going nananana won’t cut it.

     @stevenodb @Lurkle @aral not sure i agree. Given that everyone needs a phone and your choice is either Apple or Android those two ecosystems have great power to resist.

     @Niall @Lurkle @aral Resist what? A dictator that doesn’t care about the law or basic decency? It’s fall in line and don’t stand out and whatever you do, don’t anger the leader. Trump has the means to end companies and people(’s careers), and he’s not afraid to use it.

     @stevenodb @aral Shareholders are rejecting plans to scrap DEI. Cook tells them they may “have to” change them to “comply” but glibly says the company is still morally grounded. Cook personally gave a million dollars to the bigot leading this charge. Maybe I’m missing something.

     @aral Fine, Tim … you know what else can change? Where we shop. Who we buy from. And you have ceased to be one of them.

     @aral @Niall @Lurkle You’re asking capitalist companies to fight for democracy. That was never going to happen. It’s not their fight to have. The people should stand up. And even that’s not happening. Everyone’s tired and depressed.

     @stevenodb @Niall @Lurkle Nah, I’m asking people to have a spine. I have zero expectations of corporations.
