Omg. Look at all these non OU wines. I wonder which one I'll buy this Shabbat

Forget about his civil rights record. Or his crime record. Or literally anything else from his past. TODAY, babies, toddlers, children of all ages are being torn from their parents’ arms at our Southwestern border at Jeff Session’s order. THIS is the man who the OU had the temerity to honor yesterday, with a plaque reading "Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdoff/Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue" to add insult to injury. This is an Orthodoxy that does not speak in my name. And quite honestly, hasn't for a very long time, if ever. And OU products are no longer welcome in my home. Not one red cent of my money will go to the OU, and that's them now losing thousands of dollars just from my house alone. The *only* way I will ever purchase an OU-hechshered product is if it also bears a hechsher from an alternate agency or Rav. I've seen many people saying they want to make this move, but that it is untenable. It is not. The OU is not the sole hechsher in the world or even America. Even here, in the States, it is one of FOUR of the biggest agencies, not the only. Not to mention the literally hundreds of smaller agencies and independent hechshers from various communal ravs. Am i virtual signaling that this is what every moral Orthodox person should do? Nope. I'm not your rav, just some dude with smicha. And yeah, there ARE some products that I'm gonna miss. But there are parents missing their *children*. I'm willing to make the enormous sacrifice of cutting out Chips Ahoy in exchange for knowing where my daughter is every night.
