As Minnesotans, we’ve always been proud of Target’s support for all of our communities and its public stand for inclusivity. But Target’s new willingness to obey in advance and end their DEI initiatives is a big blow. Kudos to TC Pride for standing strong. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0... - ThreadSky

Does anyone know what the push is for companies to make these declarations. It seems unlikely that the CSuite is doing this in their own. Are Boards pushing this? Is someone from Trump’s team threatening them or alternatively promising privilege like tariff carve out?

eclecticoldbag.bsky.social•27 days ago

They are obeying in advance. Part of on Tyranny great book. Costco aldi, cub are at this time continue to support DEI

Aldi South, the part that includes the US had a DEI page as of yesterday. Is there something else that they've done?

eclecticoldbag.bsky.social•26 days ago

Target pulled out of support pride as well. Aldi still in the okay list from my knowledge

accidental-hermit.bsky.social•26 days ago

Target was pushed out.

indivistwincities.bsky.social•26 days ago

Twin Cities Pride pushed Target out for their new anti-DEI policies.

Good to know. I have written target and switched for now. Ugh this week. They tell you it was going to be bad but it still feels like so much like a firehouse. No way really to prepare. One day and fight at a time.

Journalist should do some investigation on why exactly Target decided such a public announcement of pulling DEI. Did Trump admin call them?They knew there would be backlash frm their client base so it does notbmake sense unless a carrot or stick was proposed

donnaenn.bsky.social•27 days ago

Do we know that for sure? Seems like this is an important journalistic story. Execs usually don’t make changes that they know will anger even a small amount of customers. They are getting pushed frm somewhere. We know Trump team always calls and threatens people to get what they want.

Cub and lunds have union that protects them. They have came out they will protect DEI. Aldi just remains neutral in politics stuff.

Do not obey in advance.

jrfree.bsky.social•27 days ago

Sad that Target is complicit!

Good. Don't promote companies who won't promote your values. Especially companies who are wiping out DEI Initiatives and then want to work with TC Pride. Little troubling.

Really sucks Target. You don’t really have to do this
