Business leaders who think they can just keep their heads down and not stand up for the American citizens being attacked by our own government are fooling themselves. People will remember who stood for democracy and civil rights and law and order, and who stood with the fascists by not saying anything.

From Adam Kinzinger: “If we let this pass as just another “justified shooting,” if we accept investigations run by the same power structure that ordered the show of force, then we are signaling exactly what Trump wants: that federal violence is beyond question, beyond scrutiny, and beyond consequence.
And once you cross that line, it doesn’t stop with Minneapolis.”

Discount airline, Avelo, abandons ICE charter deportation flights

Avelo Airlines announced it will cease deportation charter flights for the Trump administration effective January 27. The decision follows nationwide protests regarding its contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The flights were the subject of national protests, including one in Wilmington Delaware covered by State Broadcast News in April 2025....

Discount airline, Avelo, abandons ICE charter deportation flights

Soon, American business leaders will not be able to hide from the consequences of not speaking up.

“There is no historic precedent of a dominant power voluntarily abandoning its leadership, as opposed to being defeated in war or by natural decline. Complying with a revisionist titan’s increasingly random demands imposes an opportunity cost on building alternative systems. America’s allies are now at that hinge point between the past and the future. Trump is making their choice easier.”

How Wall Street Turned Its Back on Climate Change

Business leaders will be sorry if they just ignore this festering cancer instead of opposing it with all their American capital.

From the essay: “Vance knows where the real power lies in the coming years. It’s not in the rallies or the red hats or the YMCA dancing of a geriatric, gravid con man; it’s in the dark machinery of the administrative state’s enforcement arms. By attacking a victim of state violence, a mother of three whose last words were a cheerful. “I’m not mad at you,” to her killers, Vance lionized the agents of her demise, sending a signal to the emerging American SS that he’s their huckleberry.”

J.D. Vance Can't Mask his Dead Soul

What is wrong with America’s business leaders? They have o problem ruthlessly firing thousands of workers if they miss the financial targets that would vest their options and bonuses. Are they so short-sighted about the damage being caused to the economy by an incompetent autocratic president and so afraid of him that they will let their businesses self-immolate instead of confronting him and forcing him to implement rational policies?

Big Business Should Wake Up to the Trump Threat

Business leaders need to understand that our current regime is ruining the world,order they have profited from, and it could be irreparable if they don’t take a stand.

From the essay: “Trump’s megalomania is transforming the United States from inter­national leader into international pariah, and the American people will suffer the consequences for years to come.”

America vs. the World

Corporate business leaders need to understand that we consumers are NOT powerless over the fascist regime. Consumer pushback led Spotify to drop the ICE recruiting ads. That's our power. We will use it against companies that stand with the tyrant.

Companies must realize that bending the knee to the regime is not good for future revenue growth. Standing with their customers is the right thing to do.

Spotify Confirms ICE Recruitment Ads Are No Longer Running on Platform

In this episode of SBN Newsmakers, Steve Lubetkin interviews Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Rocket Doctor AI. They discuss AI's transformative impact on healthcare, highlighting Rocket Doctor AI's ability to enhance medical practice, education, and patient care.

AI Transforming Healthcare: Insights from Dr. Essam Hamza

From the FT's Lex column: "Trump, who wants the US to drill like crazy, presumably has no desire to hurt US oil companies. But some American shale patches already face costs higher than current oil prices, economics that may deteriorate as the most favourable areas are exhausted. A gusher of Venezuelan oil stands to make that worse. Play reckless games, win dangerous prizes."

Trump’s Venezuela punt could turn into an oil-drilling own goal

Why won’t business leaders show the courage to condemn government violence?

“If an agency can chase down a mother and kill her for leaving, then 'freedom' is just a word they use until they decide to pull the trigger. Today, she was the target. Tomorrow, the State will find a label for you. For me. For us.”

Her Name is Renee Nicole Good. Her Story is Ours.

Trump is forming his Brown Shirts, and corporate leaders can’t survive by ignoring this. Because you can comply for now thinking that if you don’t make waves you will be safe, but one night, you will be running through your corporate campus in your underwear trying to escape arrest.

ICE Isn’t Recruiting Cops for Law Enforcement. They're Collecting Violent Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, J6rs, To Carry Out an "Ethnic Cleansing" of Trump's America

Of course it’s more important for corporations to be on social platforms regardless of the kind of sewer they have become. Companies only lasted about six months in their declarations that they wouldn’t make donations to politicians who supported the Trump lies about the 2020 election. Then they dove right back in. Now, they are turning a blind eye to Elon Musk’s obsession with revenge on his ex-partner.

Legislators are finally realizing that the president and his family are running grift on a massive scale because of crypto, and they are terrified that they will be blamed if the legislation allows even bigger corruption. (Spoiler alert: everything about crypto is corrupt.)
