We’ve had people replying to our email telling us to keep the politics out of our future marketing emails. Which in some ways is fair – as a company, we aren’t partisan, and we’ve never put political content in our emails before. But they don’t seem to understand that these unprecedented changes to trade rules means that they may not get any more marketing emails from us. If these tariffs stay in place, many small American businesses are going to suffer and may be wiped out: from board games to apparel to yes, computer keyboards.—Jesse and Kaia, Keyboardio (2025-04-06)
People often say, with pride, «I’m not interested in politics.» They might as well say, «I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future, or any future.» … If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.—Martha Ellis Gellhorn
You’re «just not that into politics»?
Your boss is.
Your landlord is.
Your insurance company is.
And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage.
It’s time to get into politics.
