    That Instagram * was hilarious. Everybody got a good excuse to stay on any other service here. Boycotting something you don’t care about or don’t take any benefit from is easy.

    Ridiculous nonsense. Boycott Fedex because of a $2.3M delivery contract with ICE? Cancel Spectrum internet because there is an ICE field office in Texas that uses them? Cancel Comcast because they provide cable TV? Unsubscribe from Netflix because...no reason?

    Boycott this performative nonsense.

    Also: AT&T, Comcast, Charter, Dell, FedEx, Marriott, Spotify, UPS.

    I am willing to bet both my testicles that he is not practicing what he's preaching and is most likely just seeking attention, grifting, building brand. Oh, and to get your details for his mailing list. Don't be fooled.
