The riot at the Capitol on January 6 that left five people dead did not materialize out of thin air. Rather, Trump supporters were instructed to come to Washington DC that day to attend a rally at the Ellipse, near the White House. At the rally, the assembly was incited by Republican officials and Trump family members who told them that Trump won the election in a landslide, and this was their last chance to stop Democrats from stealing the election with fraudulent votes. After the crowd was already worked into a lather, Trump took the stage and told people they must "
Thank you for this information. I have just contacted Publix and demanded change. Please help keep us posted. If they don’t change, I will take my business elsewhere and encourage others to do the same.
Companies, corporations and millionaires; that is how most of our politicians are funded AND elected. Until we put a stop to this and decide to fund people who want to run for office through our taxes, in limited amounts, for a specific period of time (say 6 months of campaigning) we will never, ever have fair and honest representation.
This is disappointing. Mrs. Fancelli, like any other non-executive stockholder, can do with her money as she wishes. The corporate donations to the wingnuts are much harder to overlook. I've been a faithful Publix customer for over a decade (that bakery!), but it looks like I'm going to have to find a new grocer.
None of the post-election rabies frothing was necessary if anyone had produced verifiable evidence of fraudulent voting. It’s really quite simple. I have family members who insisted Trump was robbed of a fair election and I asked “can you show me evidence?” What they say (yell, really) is “it’s true! It’s true!” Prove it, just show the actual evidence, that’s all I’m asking. Georgia did a hand count THREE TIMES, plus a GBI-audited count and the vote counts matched the actual results. PA and MI did absentee ballot signature matching, nothing there either. So WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF FRAUD? I’m waiting for Dominion Voting’s lawsuits to go to trial. I’m waiting for that “evidence”.....
Got a friend who is always talking about how awesome Publix chicken is. I've never seen a Publix 'cause their "infection" hasn't got this far West, yet.
Anyway, I forwarded this issue to her. When she wakes up, she's gonna be mad. And, you don't wanna make this lady mad. She really likes chicken.
If any of your columns needed to be publicly posted, this one certainly does. I’ve notified my friends who shop Publix but this is what makes an impression. I have a feeling they are just the tip of one of many huge icebergs floating around just waiting to sink this ship.
I had no idea until recently that Publix was such a supporter of right-wing causes. I no longer live in the South, but rest assured, I will not spend a dime in a Publix store if I am down there until it changes its donation policies.
Disgusting. The Democrats must get fired up and do something. Let AOC lead the charge that lady has the guts the others don't have. You cannot not bring justice when tyranny is at the door. The next time they will succeed.
We have no Publix here, so my challenge is to work some friends who do.
I see Lawyers and law students have sued to get Cruz disbarred. We need that type of courage in our Democratic leaders. These people planned on executing elected officials with no due process. They were going to be judge, jury and executioners. How much more do you need to crack down on this treasonous behavior? Have they no stones?
Meanwhile the culprit aiding and abetting in mho:
The MSM Labradoodle once again protecting the 1% is going and chasing the ball is going to get us killed by the far right as we are discovering us full of ex military, military and LE.
I guess nobody cares about this anymore--everybody moved on. But I just set foot in Publix for the first time since I read Judd’s report, and made it known I wasn’t shopping there anymore. When I checked out, the cashier said, “just one item?” which gave me the perfect opportunity to tell her and everybody in line “yeah, just one item and it’s one item too many because I’m not shopping here anymore because I don’t want my money going to far-right nut clowns." She professed not to know anything about it, but the bag boy piped in that it was only the heiress. I said, “no, my friend, it’s Publix too” and told him to read The Popular’s report. Then I walked over to customer service and asked the woman since PUBLIX IS AN EMPLOYEE OWNED STORE, did they vote on donations? She said she’s "never voted on anything.” I persisted that this is an employee owned store, but you have no say in how the money is spent? She seemed perplexed like the idea of democracy was something she’s never heard of. She gave me the number for corporate.
Publix is an employee-owned store. Maybe since they own it, Publix employees should have a say in how the money is spent? How about a lesson in democracy for Publix employees? Has anybody ever tried to unionize them? That would really set George Jenkins’ (founder) corporate executives on fire, wouldn’t it? And, you know, come to think about it, while Jenkins’ daughter has never worked a day in her life yet somehow has billions stashed in the bank, Publix employees making her rich are making how much? and don’t seem to have a clue what the word “democracy” means. Somebody needs to clue these employees in, and use their ownership interest to restructure the way things are done down in Lakeland.
If corporate donations are to be protected speech under the Constitution, as our Supreme Court has determined, then it is only right and proper that they be held accountable for that speech. In this case, Publix is to be reviled for condoning, supporting, and facilitating if not encouraging unpardonable violence to America. I encourage every thinking, honorable person to boycott the chain until adequate public reparations are made.
I want to know who is supporting texas politicians who are suppressing and restricting the vote. The GQP has been doing this here for decades and Texas is one of the most difficult places to vote in the Country.

Yesterday I wrote to Publix, cited this article, and stating inter alia that their denials were disingenuous considering the number of insurrection abetting pols they had supported.
Here's the response i got:

My relatives in Florida love Publix, but it seems like the chief competition, Winn Dixie, does not make political contributions. I'm recommending Winn Dixie to friends and family in Florida. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/politics/planning-on-boycotting-publix-you-should-check-other-stores-political-donations/67-558161715
