    Right there in the article it says that she’s the heiress, and not on the board or involved with Walmart in any way besides her familial relation. If billionaires want to chip in for organizing and advertising protests, I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. This is one of those moments in history where you take the support you can get and do your virtue testing bullshit after things are less dire.

      You should absolutely look any horse in the mouth, if it’s a gift from a billionaire.

      Not even one person can clearly state what the intended goal of this action was. That’s a huge red flag that should have you asking questions. Not asking why a billionaire is doing something is exactly how both Red & Blue MAGA have ended up on both sides of this fight, though no one on either side can clearly state what their side stands for.

        The most common refrain I’ve seen from interviews with protestors is the desire for Trump to be impeached and face some semblance of the rule of law. If the billionaires want to help us make that happen, I’m happy to take their money and we can work on taxing the hell out of them when we’re not fighting for the lives of every marginalized person in this country.

          The fact that you think the fight for our lives only was an issue under Trump is exactly why you’re a worthless ally.
