General Discussion

I see several comments here about boycotting Hone Depot, and i have some questions about that.

First, how is any of this Home Depot's fault? I know the founders were Trump supporters and big donors to at least his first election campaign. But according to Wikipedia, those people don't own Home Depot anymore. The company went public decades ago and is now mainly owned by institutional investors, to the tune of about 70% of shares.

And second, just exactly what is it that Home Depot should be doing about this? What even could they do? Don't people get arrested themselves if they try to interfere with an Ice Raid? I guess they could bar ICE from their property, at least in theory, but is that really feasible?

I am as horrified and outraged by what ICE is doing these days as anyone else here, and I wish it would stop. I just don't understand how boycotting Home Depot is supposed to help.

PLEASE NOTE: I know some are boycotting them for other reasons, like their compliance with Trump's order for businesses to abolish DEI programs, and I get that. I just don't see how boycotting Home Depot is going to help with this particular issue (the ICE raids), or why Home Depot should be punished because ICE has decided to conduct raids on their property. If I am missing something, please fill me in, because I'm probably not the only one.
