Absolutely. #FTF. Force the fail by reducing spending, boycotting big box trump supporters and the mid terms will be a new game. Your 💸 = your 🗳

Repealing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives was such a bonehead move for Target…they’ve lost more value in the brand because of that move than they lost when racists conservatives had their temper tantrum because Target had LGBTQ products at the front of the store.

Here’s what I’m wondering: do we have any sort of evidence that they’ve stopped their DEI practices or just stopped calling it that? I mean it used to be called EEO.

artidrius.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, they said they were stopping specific DEI goals and programs, unfortunately.

But the article says T is stopping EXTERNAL DEI practices.

If you’d like to make sure Target know WHY you’ve decided to boycott, drop them a line!

I hope they go bankrupt. I’m doing my part.

Fuck Target. I’ve been going to Meijer

roe701948.bsky.social•3 days ago

Boycott...money is their god, right after Trump. Let's show them what happens when they worship at the feet of a "golden idol". Also, in my opinion, not the duly elected President of the United States. #Resist #solidarity 💙✊💪

Whoopsies.

bamboozer2112.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good! History shows big business is eager to "get in good" with the Fascists (The same for religion), as noted stop going there, and the see how they like it. See you all on the 28th of this month and not spending a penny, let alone a dime.

This is very cool. I am doing a garage clean out soon. Normally I would go to Target for my bins but I think whatever they have at Costco will do just fine!

justthefactts.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ve been shopping at Costco for as much as I possibly can.

mommakatmont.bsky.social•3 days ago

They F’d around and found out.

libertyandlife.bsky.social•2 days ago

I stopped shopping at Target. They caved to the angry white nationalists who feel threatened by DEI and they will have to live with their decision. Customers are angry. Conversely, companies like Costco stood behind their program and they are doing great.

pomurray.bsky.social•3 days ago

The backlash to the move was swift, with civil rights activists & people across social media calling for a boycott.

Now, the mega-store is realizing that while ditching diversity programs may win over Republicans, there are also very real consequences.

fanofprincephil.bsky.social•3 days ago

That Forbes article is being misinterpreted. RW shareholders are suing Target for embracing DEI in the first place; not for dropping it. They’re saying Target hid previous losses due to boycotts from ppl who *did not* support DEI.

The AmeriKKKa First KKKrowd plays the best dicktims.

Same shit, different century.

fanofprincephil.bsky.social•3 days ago

Actually they’re trying desperately to take us back to the 20th C…

cor10ee.bsky.social•3 days ago

I guess when you’ve got nothing but pasty skin to offer, the past is all you’ve got to celebrate.

What sad, desperate and dangerous Liddle fools.

Target Sales Dropped 64% In The First 2 Weeks, And It Will Only Get Worse...

airdriel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Excellent, boycotts are a powerful tool. And almost the only one we have left.

nccaniac.bsky.social•3 days ago

FAFO 🤷‍♀️

sundog1.bsky.social•3 days ago

As they should.

davidcarper750.bsky.social•1 day ago

Meanwhile, Costco today was PACKED (on a Thursday). Even the Costco Business location had a nearly full parking lot; never see more than a dozen or so cars there normally.

green4nature.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good hit them where it hurts they don’t treat there employees well

memewrangler.bsky.social•3 days ago

You'll always feel good when you do the right thing, even if you lose, Target.

There's still time to do the right thing - if you change course now you could get all that back and more.

Or you could keep fishing in the MAGA pond and we can just start calling you "Sears".

lunaherbie.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow

But I’m surprised magats didn’t start shopping there. What a world

crispydone.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep, I'm making it a point to stay out of Target too.

chilligirl917.bsky.social•3 days ago

They have lost my business.

nedobis.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's good. And we must not let up. No matter what.

clb123.bsky.social•3 days ago

I sold my shares and haven’t shopped there since the day they announced no more DEI. I didn’t expect it to make any difference, but I’m glad they’re feeling some strain.
