Yep, since 01/20/25

Many local business owners in my red county are MAGA. Nope.

define locally. my kosher meat store is 10 miles away.

wendilyons.bsky.social•11 days ago

Agreed and already started. 👍

You're not wrong...but, tell that to a minority family that lives in a food desert.

I sent this out to those that feel powerless, marginalized and are frozen in how to move forward...and to those sitting on the sidelines....

Every journey begins with a single step.

In other words..."the perfect is the enemy of the good" applies here.

Yes!!!! I have been limiting my spending to essential needs only and shopping small. Other than Costco since they are supporting DEI and their workers.

Yes…but…. It’s good to have this one big day to see if we can really make it hurt.

I’ll be there!

That's our family's plan this year whenever possible. Buying used, vintage & local wherever we can. + there's no way we get through this without an economic crash sooner or later so cutting back in general.

I'm all in favor of this except you must realize that many of us live in very shopping-limited areas. We simply can't find products we need unless we patronize some of the stores that are on the *bad* list. Or we have to order online. It's just not a matter of boycotting for many.

That’s ok. Do what you can. I can’t avoid target and I’ll still go in for essentials and food but that’s it. No fun stuff. No extra stuff. All we can do is try our best in our own ways. I only buy food for myself and pets and cleaning supplies. I don’t need anything else

I gave away my reusable Target bags. Felt good. 😊

gramsam1.bsky.social•11 days ago

I will do my best. I already stopped ordering from Amazon unless I really can't find what I need anywhere. And Target for essentials. I try to keep any other shopping as local as I can.

I will only go on Amazon if I absolutely have to. My fave dental floss only sells thru Amazon or Walmart so I’m going to have to cave here at some point.
