BREAKING: Donald Trump gets crushing news as retail giant Kohl's refuses to sponsor ANY Republican National Convention events in their home town of Milwaukee where they opened their first store in 1927.
But it gets even better...
“Kohl’s is not a political organization nor donor and is not sponsoring nor engaging in any specific RNC events,” said a Kohl's spokesperson. "We support the business community through the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce."
The rationale is not hard to untangle. At the RNC convention in Milwaukee, Donald Trump will become the first convicted felon in American history to receive the presidential nomination of a major party. The Republicans are proudly advertising themselves as a criminal organization.
The MAGA brand grows more radioactive by the day.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Kohl's for taking a stand — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@ HP your technical service sucks! Especially on a new printer. I had one Tech hang up on me, after telling me there is a charge for them to fix the issue.

Hey Chicago! :) I'm working on a story for @BlockClubCHI about the history of Dibs. I'm looking to talk to some older folks who remember how the tradition got started. If you're interested in being interviewed or know of anyone who might be, let me know!

This story has a list of resources for the hundreds of Chicagoans who've experienced flooding in the past few weeks.
And if you're looking for ways to help out your neighbors, local orgs need funding + volunteers to help with cleanup!

BREAKING: Country music superstar Garth Brooks defies Republicans, declares that he will absolutely serve Bud Light as his new bar — and if conservatives don’t like it, they can take their business elsewhere.
But it gets even better….
The country icon declared that, “If you come into this bar, you just love one another. Otherwise, there are plenty of other places on Lower Broadway to go. Diversity. Inclusiveness. That's me. It's always been me. I think that diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems that are coming. So I love diversity."
Well said, Garth!
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Garth Brooks for standing up for the LGBTQ+ community — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1 million raised from 2,650 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what may be the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so wefunder.com/Tribel, and here is the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
