Is this the same Target that ended all their DEI programs because they thought it would help get the Nazi party to leave then alone? How is that working out for them???
2) I used to specifically buy suits with boy shorts or skirts (or "more coverage") because shaving gives me a rash. Is Florida going to start policing the revealingness of bathing suits to determine who can use which restroom at the beach?
Their logic for the lawsuit is even dumber than a pure 1A concern; they're specifically suing because one of their pension funds has Target stock, and they believe the Board should have known carrying that merchandise would cause a drop in the stock price (due to violent threats from chuds).
I mean, I think that's the way they're trying (badly) to get around 1A concerns. No, no, this isn't about censorship, it's just about sHaReHoLdEr VaLuE
Which is hilarious as it's operating on the theory that the Board has a duty to make maximum profit at all times, as opposed to their actual duty to exercise due and reasonable care in making decisions for the company.
Personally I tend feel that threats of domestic terrorism whipped up by the right wing crazies based on media talking heads spouting conspiracy theories usually aren't a reasonably foreseeable concern.
Monumental waste of taxpayer money by fascist dictator Desantis in yet another attack on the First Amendment. Of course we all knew that those stupid new "The Freedom State" signs he put up at the state line are all dystopian doublespeak. Desantis can't go away soon enough.
I feel like they loudly abandoned the DEI programs (whether they were effective or not being a different question) to try to get ahead of this exact sort of thing
Why TF does Florida care what people buy, read, or wear? Aren’t we (still) a free country?
Or are people in Florida truly afraid that Target’s products will make them LGBTQ? 🤷🏻♀️
Every day, Florida’s government gives me another reason to be ashamed from here. May Ron Desantis always have the warm side of the pillow. May his socks never match. May his tenure be as short as he is.
Maybe another $25M donation will make this go away...for awhile. Maybe Corporate management will eventually realize their is no appeasing the MAGA party ever and start fighting back. They might get their actual customer base, which isn't hard core MAGA, to come back if they do.
They don’t have a case. They’re basically hoping the company will cave and… what? They already dropped their DEI stuff, and they’ve been selling the sort of granny dresses of the sort tradwives like under a couple of their brands. What does the Desantis crew want?
America, 2025; so much political theater. ‘But Florida authorities don't seem to care, so long as they get to perform concern for children.’ cc @dpounder.bsky.social

Right?
1) If you need extra crotch coverage you're not doing it right. See drag queen Willam Belli as an example.

So when can we expect the bible to be pulled from the shelves?
