“Boycott Chevron”
I get it’s easy to hate fossil fuel companies but they are being accused of “genocide” by the Revolutionary Bicycle Club and NakedHearts:PDX. Is there any evidence that Chevron is committing acts “with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group”?

Chevron extracts methane in Israel, hence the genocide charge.
The following stores also frequently feature products made in or from Israel. Should we boycott them too? Cancel culture is getting a bit out of hand IMO. And this doesn’t even address the question of whether or not “genocide” can accurately be attached to Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Amazon
Etsy
Whole Foods Market
Trader Joe’s
Pomegranate Market
Sephora
Lush
CVS
Walgreens
iHerb
Nordstrom
Neiman Marcus
Saks Fifth Avenue

Oh man, not iHerb.
Hi Friends, Bicycle Kitty here! I may be postponing the Caddyshack! ride depending on how the snow does or doesn’t develop. Keep an eye on the shift calendar for updates.
