I honestly didn’t know there were leaders and structure built around not shopping at Target.
I thought it was just people who don’t like what Target has been doing with DEI and ICE and decided not to go there anymore.
I don’t think that’s changing if Target hasn’t.
Don't believe the lying-ass paid promotions disguised as "news articles" that claim the organizers of the Target boycott have called it off.
“Bryant was not the first to call for a Target boycott.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, founder of the Racial Justice Network, and other civil rights activists in Minnesota, launched a boycott last February over the retailer's DEI rollbacks…”
exactly.

So subset of boycott supporters took it upon themselves to declare the Target boycott over but the people who actually started the movement have spoken out today no one talked to them and the boycott lives. 🧵
My year-long boycott of Target has taught me I don't need Target.
Think about this: last year, Pete Hegseth spent more in one month than the Pentagon had ever spent in the same period, except during the peak of the Iraq War.
Legal experts say Anthropic has a strong case against its Pentagon blacklisting. Anthropic's lawsuit said that the supply chain risk designation punishes the company for its views on AI safety in violation of the First Amendment, which protects free speech and expression reut.rs/4lvCLwg
This response is exactly why we cannot believe anything Trump says from minute to minute, as he can't even remember what he knows from day to day. But the rest of the administration would have us believe that his utterance of the moment is administration policy based on chessmaster-level strategy.
BREAKING: Pentagon Report: U.S. Attcked Elementary School in Iran
Despite attempts by Trump to claim otherwise, the U.S. military was responsible for killing at least 175 in a strike on a school in Iran.

On Monday, a federal watchdog revealed that the Defense Secretary burned through $93 billion to use up the Pentagon’s budget by the end of the fiscal year in 2025. Must be nice!

While a U.S.-Israel war is ravaging the Middle East, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff are worried about “unflattering” photos.
Pentagon briefings are supposed to inform the public — not serve as photo-ops.
$2 million on Alaskan king crab.
$6.9 million on lobster tail.
$26,000 on sushi preparation tables.
$21,750 for a custom handmade Japanese flute.
$3,160 on stickers with children's characters.
This is how the Pentagon decided to waste your taxpayer dollars.
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Priorities.
The Project 2025 idiots 110% thought they'd be able to force all those uppity USAID staffers and cancer researchers to work in the fields and in slaughterhouses.
Every year the news slouches closer to an all clickbait model, where every article is called “this will make you mad”
Americans on rising gas prices:
"$8! We might as well get a horse... I'm a little worried. We already are paying more in the grocery store. We're paying more than we were paying before at the gas pump."
And Americans are paying more for health insurance or have dropped it bc they can’t afford it!
This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

These problems cannot be solved by military force. Diplomacy is the only way to find ways of living together despite differences.
Trump and his people believe that force is the only useful tool. I'm seeing others succumb to this delusion.
Diplomacy is a more useful tool than military might.
In 2015, Chinatown Tenants Union helped win the first rent freeze in 46 years.
Today, Deputy Mayor Julie Su is helping working-class families in Chinatown who are once again facing housing instability.

These are the stories media needs to be covering. Every time an infant dies of a refusal, tell the story. Use those words. The NYT has some of the most abysmal, sympathetic coverage of the AV movement because it can’t bring itself to offend, so we get writing implying we don’t know why it’s grown🤷🏻♀️
Commodity analyst Paul Sankey on CNBC, with an unnerving analogy:
"Some of us are looking at this a bit like what we saw with Covid, where the market seemed to be 'air-walking', regardless of what was clearly a very bad situation -- and then, suddenly, you know, collapsed when it all came home."
Didn't happen of course, but he's on to something, there's definitely a class of people in this country who wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store but they're all billionaires

Anthropic’s recent clash with the Defense Department over mass surveillance and autonomous weapons shows why the Pentagon’s use of AI must be reined in. Our latest report documents the Pentagon’s rapid adoption of AI and outlines safeguards to ensure the technology is deployed responsibly.
