Maria Juliano..I am so discussed with the way our country is taking part in this devastation.

How do they sleep at night? This really a gross way to help sooo many people...

What can I say? And to boot, I live in Florida!!! WOW. Where are the real human beings.

I have lost trace of them and I am busy everyday thinking things can get better....

It makes me exhausted. Oh well, now what.. Vote for Democrats. Hope this helps, but

it will be a miracle if it gets any better. I am not normally a negative person and I am

trying to stay positive....giving to all the democrats I can afford to and will kept up

until the election finish. When will Donald go to jail? Wishful thinking huh?

Thanks for a place to get it out.

I'd like to think some actions could be taken against those corporations who are nullifying President Biden's sanctions, but I'd like to know if anything CAN be done!

I'd like to know all 33 companies names that remain in Russia, I will look up Sonnenfelds info, Maybe he has list of remaining cos, because Employees HERE can pressure their own companies into stopping business in Russia, and no better place to Inform who they are Then on Twitter: A Proverbial Coming Out Party For These Collaborating Companies if you will. Joe Manchin is the stick in the Mud we can clear up in November. Great Reporting Mary, Your Loyal Fan John Pillin!

As to every single Republican and Joe Manchin not voting to nominate Sarah Bloom Raskin to the Federal Reserve top cop position, not surprising but so shameful and disheartening.

Thank you, Mary! What a timely post for me! I am presently in the market to purchase four new appliances for my new house in Oregon. A washer/dryer, a stove/oven, and a refrigerator. I will happily rule out LG!

Wonderful interview with David Cay Johnston. As for those 33 traitorous businesses, everybody needs to know their names. For eternity.

Mary L Trump - This is one of the best articles yet. Straight to the point, no messing around. Boycott the 33! Just read the list posted by Mara below. It's down to 27 companies.

I’m glad to have you back, too. Hope all is well and that spring break was enjoyable. Great discussion last night with Mr. Johnston, he sure knows his stuff! I wish I could be surprised by this week’s display of greed and selfishness, though I’m glad at least a number of companies are doing the right thing re: Russia. I don’t know if there are any formal/official options re the 33 (guessing no), so that leaves shaming/pressuring/boycotting like others have noted. Hope you have a restful weekend ahead of you!

Always appreciate the naming of politicians, corporations, individuals and their specific products that land on the wrong side of humanity. In order to do whatever I can to STOP supporting them including the sharing of their position and adjusting my own purchasing. I never forget. I truly don’t once I have that name visual in my brain. Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone informed!
