I’ve been boycotting since their announcement to drop DEI

thomascameron512.bsky.social•67 days ago

My boycott of Target is not 40 days. It's permanent. There's a Target right by my house, but after the DEI fiasco, my family is absolutely REFUSING to do business with them. They shit in their own nest, now they have to deal with it.

bluemermaid47.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't ever go there because it's further away than Walmart but I won't go in there either

gypsyincalif.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm in - have been since 11/5/24

dcharkey.bsky.social•66 days ago

40 days? I’m never shopping at Target again. Ever.

sazoh4.bsky.social•67 days ago

No problem! 💪

mlk-nside67.bsky.social•67 days ago

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. BOYCOTTING TARGET FOR 40 DAMN DAYS!!!

vickiebluevoter.bsky.social•67 days ago

Why isn’t there a 40 day boycott of Walmart???

expresscapital123.bsky.social•67 days ago

What's Walmart? /s

Never shopped there cause they like to cheat and steal since their beginning.

simempreresist.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m in

chrisbanks3.bsky.social•67 days ago

Started that a few weeks ago

hammlyss.bsky.social•67 days ago

Now this is the kind of Lent I can get behind. #excatholic

ferelwingart.bsky.social•66 days ago

The boycott needs to last until Target reverses it's ridiculous turn towards fascism.

angelannie43.bsky.social•67 days ago

Oh! I left Walmart for Target, but it wasn’t long until I stopped patronizing Target as well. I liked many of their product I can’t get anywhere else but oh well! We have to adapt!

capecodcritter.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m all in!

upset2024.bsky.social•67 days ago

I started yesterday when my daughter asked if I wanted to go to Target with her I said 'No. Any company that bends the knee to racist/bigot Trump won't get a dime from me.'

olderspicier.bsky.social•67 days ago

👏👏👏

Refuse to shop there permanently.

upset2024.bsky.social•66 days ago

👍✊

lisasillaway.bsky.social•66 days ago

Already done. Stopped when the biz that seemed to help small, black and women owned businesses- cancelled DEI

jaeb.bsky.social•66 days ago

Respect.

madamedefarge2a.bsky.social•67 days ago

I never shop at Target. Even when I go inside it feels like a foreign land to me now.

debbybee.bsky.social•67 days ago

We’re already boycotting Target.

thequeenasherah.bsky.social•67 days ago

I haven't walked into a Target in months.

sequoyah1.bsky.social•67 days ago

The nearest Target for me is 2 hours drive in any direction. 2 hours to Reno, Nevada, 2 hours to Redding, and 2 hours to Chico. Both of them are in Northern California. 🇺🇦🇪🇺🌻

ultrapop.bsky.social•67 days ago

Easy to boycott when I've never shopped there at all.

theresistanceat.bsky.social•63 days ago

Boycott Anything and Everything associated with the Bellini Mussolini:

resister-sister.bsky.social•67 days ago

I can do this as I haven't been since Christmas.

shellieh.bsky.social•67 days ago

No problem

wranglertx.bsky.social•66 days ago

I’m in!

theranchgal.bsky.social•66 days ago

Good! I've not been in a Target store or any of their online presence since they announced their anti diversity/inclusion agenda.

thepianoinstructor.bsky.social•66 days ago

When they rolled back their DEI stance, I called them to tell them that this brown person will be shopping elsewhere.

40 days is good. It's better than nothing. Excellent.

Why not just...leave...tho? There are plenty of other stores.

curiousbets.bsky.social•66 days ago

Haven't shopped there since they reversed their DEI and dropped out of the MPLS pride parade.

sparx58.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sure, I’ll add on to my 4078 day boycott 👍🏼

wndrwmn74.bsky.social•67 days ago

I have boycotted many stores forever. It's not as hard as you think. You don't need as much stuff as you think. I haven't shopped at Target since September of last year. I don't remember the last time I was in a Walmart, Hobby Lobby, or Chick Fila. Never shopped at Tractor Supply to begin with.

richnelson.bsky.social•67 days ago

questioningsystems.bsky.social•67 days ago

please send them emails explaining why you are boycotting and that the result could be permanent

citizenkell.bsky.social•67 days ago

Survive on the money from bigots and racists alone, Target.

Enjoy the experience, assholes.

alienedc.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m continuing what I started

terrybones.bsky.social•67 days ago

Begun?

Welcome to the party pal.

expresscapital123.bsky.social•67 days ago

Haven't shopped at Target for more than a month now.

Also cutting down discretionary spending to $0. These broligarchs only understand $$$ and let's speak on their terms.

sirroms.bsky.social•67 days ago

10 days ahead of you!

fram1963.bsky.social•67 days ago

We have destroyed Target in Canada 10 years ago because they thought we were stupid and would buy the crap that Americans didn't want at a higher cost. Fuck them over!

deweyordeweynot.bsky.social•67 days ago

Dude, I am NEVER shopping there again.

mamajkmcc.bsky.social•67 days ago

Been doing it for about that many already

sugarsgirl.bsky.social•67 days ago

Mine boycott is permanent.

spottedtb.bsky.social•67 days ago

It won’t be just 40 days….

somertonem.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yahoo posted an article about this boycott. Skimmed through hundreds of comments. MAGA plans on increasing their Target purchases for the next 40 days. The number of racist remarks is sickening.

Will boycott Target forever.

am-mccarthy.bsky.social•67 days ago

Or...my boycott continues

adjunctangel.bsky.social•66 days ago

going maga will get you broke

jbatterson7.bsky.social•67 days ago

This will be easy. I usually never shop there anyway.

mylittlecorner.bsky.social•66 days ago

Done. 40 days AND BEYOND.

csiwriter.bsky.social•67 days ago

👍👍👍👍👍

lynnf.bsky.social•67 days ago

Been doing this since January 31st!

cinderrose.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm on at least day 1000 of a Target boycott. Never go there. I looked at an after Christmas sale seven years ago...

laresistance47.bsky.social•67 days ago

Done - I haven't been there in months anyway

curious-alpaca.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm in! 😁

cindylouwhobitch.bsky.social•67 days ago

Eat a bag of dicks, target.

caligreg.bsky.social•67 days ago

Target Target With Boycott

Target sucked up to Trump.
DEI policies in the dump.
A 40 day boycott has begun.
Send a message: Buy none!

intheupsidedownnow.bsky.social•67 days ago

Are you kidding? I've been boycotting Target for years now. No problem 👍

pegsalma.bsky.social•67 days ago

I started boycotting the minute they dropped their DEI initiatives.

tincanfury.bsky.social•67 days ago

some of us started weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

debebb.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm in!

roam-town-girl.bsky.social•67 days ago

Already am. I find it has been easy to avoid them. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

anti-maga.bsky.social•66 days ago

Why Target them, there's tons of companies that swayed with the political wind reversing the dei programs. They've been to this point a good company, and alternative to Walmart. Lets pick our battles FFS.

theonlycapnoni.bsky.social•66 days ago

Because they positioned themselves as an ally, Walmart never did. We are boycotting because of their betrayal. I don't think that I will miss anything I used to buy there and will find an alternative for anything I do need, spend local!

momcat25bskysocial.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm in.

upalag.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’ve been boycotting them from the time they reversed their DEI policy!

hal-incandenzaa.bsky.social•67 days ago

He’ll, I’m already on day 40. I ain’t buying sh*t at #target. And I used to buy a lot of sh*t at Target.

shekeepsbees.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’ve been in Target maybe twice in the last 5 years. I’m confident I can make it 40 days.

calabamian.bsky.social•67 days ago

I didn’t know! Now I do.

lyrapersonette.bsky.social•67 days ago

You really want to make a splash?
Add Amazon & Walmart to this because not all of us have a Target nearby but nearly everyone uses Amazon & Walmart.

donnerbo.bsky.social•67 days ago

I've never liked Target, rarely shopped there. This is an easy one for me.

accostedtone.bsky.social•67 days ago

carlosharwith.bsky.social•67 days ago

Big Business is modern-day King Cotton. Making America Great Again - code-named version Antebellum 2.0.1.

mydelilah.bsky.social•67 days ago

So sad too. Our Target had a lot of gay/trans employees & their Pride displays were so cool (even swimsuits for trans). When they folded & quit supporting Pride week, etc. my family quit shopping there even though it's close & had lots to choose from (I really miss KMart!).

luxetips.bsky.social•66 days ago

I have been boycotting and most of us have been doing so since they got rid of DEI.

free-thoughts.bsky.social•67 days ago

Who are the rest of the companies who withdrew their DEI support???

agavetom.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m down for 40 years

grammyliz.bsky.social•67 days ago

I started a month ago.

jaeb.bsky.social•66 days ago

I live a few miles from Target Corporate and years ago they supported my small media company with advertising. But, I’m down with the boycott because it’s a poorly kept secret that its C suites are filled with Republicans. This is just them showing their true faces. They may as well be Walmart.

jaeb.bsky.social•66 days ago

I’m onboard.

housewife7.bsky.social•67 days ago

Keep in mind that they lay off the people on the floor first to save their own skins suits, and will blame it on people boycotting that are attempting to make a statement against , I'm just afraid that this could add to the unemployment crisis

housewife7.bsky.social•67 days ago

We're all gonna need some great poetry of peace and a Hennessey to get through this day

jrsweany.bsky.social•67 days ago

Don’t shy away from one of the few collective actions that work with corporations because they’re holding people’s jobs hostage. They lay people off when things are going well. They don’t need an excuse because costs to the bone is how they maintain the illusion of infinite growth for their

jrsweany.bsky.social•67 days ago

shareholders.

This is one of the few things they have any reason to listen to.

truehoax.bsky.social•67 days ago

We have entered the "hurt America to save her" phase of this resistance.

But also, spending that money elsewhere will create jobs elsewhere.

housewife7.bsky.social•67 days ago

With the government falling apart and unemployment over access at the moment and underfunded it just concerns me that a lot of people could potentially lose their jobs that businesses like Target. don't affect the big boy in the upstairs office they affect the people are working on the floor

curiousbets.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sorry, but the big boys control the government. The little people are getting hurt either way.

marblebuck.bsky.social•66 days ago

Doing it.

mtt6.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hopefully I never shopped at that disgrace store 🤮

alexathymia.bsky.social•66 days ago

I'm also boycotting Amazon for the remainder of the month.

karimancer.bsky.social•66 days ago

40 days? I'm on like year 3 now lol

teddybequality.bsky.social•67 days ago

All In!

eugenewong318.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m IN.

jashep.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not for us, it's forever. 40 days is not good enough.

purpcheck.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sounds good. I'll keep boycotting at the end of the 40 days, but I can do 40 days easy

olderspicier.bsky.social•67 days ago

I *used to* buy Everspring recycled TP and tissue there. No more!

I find my recycled paper products elsewhere.

phlegbhe.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'll NEVER shop there again.

stevehartzler.bsky.social•67 days ago

Boycotts always getting called on businesses my family doesn't shop at anyway. But we do go to Target a few times a year. So we can finally join in.

draftingjaak.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm on the lifetime boycott plan.

mskitty68.bsky.social•66 days ago

I would, but I work there and didn't ask for any of this. I get it tho.

manthamae.bsky.social•67 days ago

This is NOT a problem!

👍

vjrods8.bsky.social•67 days ago

That’ll be 80 days for me then. I haven’t shopped at target since they announced no more DEI when trump was in office. 👍🏼 Easier than I thought it would be to avoid.

paulasbodyshop.com•66 days ago

Unless they change their tune, happy to boycott for life.
Ibid some other too-big-for-their-britches companies.

chipfan.bsky.social•67 days ago

I left a full cart of non perishable stuff in an aisle at Target today.

vja412.bsky.social•67 days ago

I haven’t bought anything from Target in 3 years!

cmaliff.bsky.social•66 days ago

Easy for me. Hate Target.

bltbanjo.bsky.social•66 days ago

Please repost: Amazon Boycott March 7 to 14. Don’t feed the fascists.

wendimyb.bsky.social•67 days ago

I've been boycotting since they rolled back their DEI policies and there is a target that is three blocks from my house.

bjbrit.bsky.social•67 days ago

I never go there anymore. I ordered something about 6 months ago. Shopped Costco today 👍

ekog.bsky.social•67 days ago

I already started that boycott!

progalaskan.bsky.social•67 days ago

I started last month and will be boycotting Target until they re-commit to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or go out of business.

tina12312.bsky.social•67 days ago

Me too

johndef.bsky.social•67 days ago

Target? How about Amazon, and the business interests of all the oligarchs in the front row at Trump's inauguration?

Whether or not Target deserves a boycott, that'll just herd people towards buying from Amazon, the much bigger culprit than Target.

curiousbets.bsky.social•66 days ago

How about both dumbass. What aboutism is the worst.

johndef.bsky.social•66 days ago

Somebody is way ahead of both of us.

expresscapital123.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm spending $0 on discretionary.

dub273.bsky.social•67 days ago

Amazon and Walmart have got to go next for sure. I feel like they're far bigger offenders than Target.

sarahduheme.bsky.social•66 days ago

I just cancelled Prime! It feels so good!
#CancelPrime

truehoax.bsky.social•67 days ago

Nailed it. This is a borderline ineffectual campaign that wraps some resistance branding around the smallest possible effort.

Switch to Costco and local companies. And spend less. Waaaay less.

jwacker1j.bsky.social•67 days ago

A good item to give up for Lent.

lindabean.bsky.social•67 days ago

I've been boycotting Target since June (and for the rest of forever) when I slipped in a pool of spilled laundry soap that I later learned three other people before me had slipped in. This was over a period of an hour and it had not been cleaned up nor had any alert cones even been put up.

1967honoredqueen.bsky.social•67 days ago

Going to be hard, but I am in.

rubberduck6.bsky.social•67 days ago

Easy to boycott them in Canada since they lasted about 5 minutes in our market.

truehoax.bsky.social•67 days ago

Stop measuring these efforts in days and start measuring them in "forever."

We were a Target family and now we don't buy anything there. It's really not that hard.

lena5474.bsky.social•67 days ago

Easy peasy not to shop at Target for 40 days! Already done 40 months.
