    Dammit! Folgers was my generic coffee go-to! Anyone know what brand I can buy from a major grocery chain that doesn’t donate to fascists?

      If you have one anywhere nearby just get a Costco membership. In many cases if you are looking for an alternative to generic brand whatever Kirkland is going to be the best bang for your buck and the company is employee owned and very consumer friendly.

        Unfortunately I think you’re in the same boat there. Care Bustelo is owned by JM Smucker Co which in recent years, according to open secrets, has made almost exclusive donations to the right including the RNC as well as Trump’s campaign to the tune of $75k and $25k respectively.

        If you have em near you, the Safeway grocery ‘signature select’ branded whole bean coffee has been my go to for a while now(well, since my preferred local roaster decided to be a union busting shitheel and I stopped going there). And as far as I can tell they at least donate to both parties relatively equally. Which, honestly I’m not sure is better or worse.

        But also fuck Safeway for putting up fucking security fencing and receipt gates at the store near me. Remember kids, you’ve never seen or even heard of anyone stealing food in your entire life. Especially from a corporation.

      Don’t switch to Maxwell House, but basically any other coffee is better tasting than those two.

      Coffee is like chocolate though: it basically always comes with the risk of supporting slavery. It sucks and it’s not fair that the costs of ensuring (or trying to ensure, Tony’s Chocolonely can’t even be certain) slavery is not involved price most people out of consuming them.

        Tony’s Chocolonely can’t even be certain

        Tony’s is really fucking good. And because chocolate is 100% a luxury good, I have absolutely no problem reducing my candy bar intake down to one or two expensive chocolate bars per year when I know that they’re doing their best to fairly source their objectively superior product. And I make it last a week or two by using a ziploc bag. Tony’s is best in small doses, and I prefer to pair it with a nice bourbon as dessert, but maybe that’s just me being a bougie bitch.
