not me feeling like i should be shopping at #hobbylobby because #target pulled back all of their #dei stances. crazy that i feel more comfortable keeping my money in the local economy supporting people who support fascism just so i dont have to give a giant liberal corporation my profits. for those that don’t get it, most hobby lobbies are franchised owned by a member of your community, where as target is a corporation owned by billionaires🤠 unfortunately, concern for #fascism beats #lgbtq rn🫠

DEI initiatives were all #performative #bullshit anyway. Really heavy on crafting a public image, with plenty of internal and external #propaganda and #marketing. #Target is not interested in actually supporting marginalized communities, just increasing profits.

The annual #pride stuff was the epitome of it. They only sold Pride goods in June but never year round. When right wingers put pressure on them for it, they folded like empty soda cans in a 24 ton hydraulic press.

How's everyone doing one week into the #Target #boycott? From my household to yours, some ideas if you're looking to boycott beyond Lent/permanently:

1. I looked at my account to do some analysis of last year's purchases. Now I know how to divest 95%+ of my past Target purchases going forward :)

2. Theirs is the most useless rewards program so it will be trivial to kill my account and take better shopping privacy measures. Boycotts can also encompass user data :)
