Yeah. Apparently they forgot to add "it's us we're the darkness" to their masthead.

Democracy dies in the darkness (and we are the shadow)

I don't know where they got their quote from, since, historically, democracy has almost always died in broad fucking daylight.

Boycott Amazon.

The substitute for Amazon, if you rely on delivery to remote and rural, is Walmart.

I use eBay primarily, but there are other sites out there with good deals. You just have to search for them.

One stop shopping with easy to find and easy free shipping and easy, free returns. That’s where we live now. So, Amazon or Walmart.

My senator if I call them:

Yes, it does. There's the darkness.
