More evidence that fear of consumer backlash can change corporate political spending, helping cut off the flow of funds to people working against democracy, decency, and equality.

Great job by @popular.info!
UPDATE: Rocket Money ends Tucker Carlson sponsorship
Last month, Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, antisemite, and misogynist, on his popular podcast.

Brawny and Sparkle are owned by Koch Industries, that's right, those guys.

Koch Industries supports anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians, and pols who oppose abortion. They've backed the NRA at the Supreme Court.

Bounty & 7th Generation are better alternatives.
