Summary

Racial justice group leaders called for a national boycott of Target during a rally Thursday in front of the offices of the Minneapolis-based retailer.

Target announced last week that it would end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and investments. The initiatives include a program it established aimed at helping Black employees build meaningful careers, improving the experience of Black shoppers and promoting Black-owned businesses, following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

    Man, the hilarious thing about the anti dei shit is that people like Pete Hegseth are like the shining example of a dei hire. The only reason he’s ever had a job is because he is a veteran…which is a protected class.

    A whole bunch of veterans are about to learn that the only reason they qualify for their cushy USgov.jobs program is because they are dei hires.

        A lot of veterans returning to civilian life will end up getting jobs working for the Fed or state governments because their time in the military usually gets added to their benefits. Their veteran status makes it to where they can apply and get jobs they normally wouldn’t qualify for, or gives them a large advantage over civilians when applying for the same jobs.

        He is.

        Aside from being a conspiracy theorist piece of trash, Nicole Eggert (Charles in charge) said he molested her starting at the age of 14.

      I agree. I am disappointed since they were suppose to be Amazon replacement. But time to stop buying from them. A progressive boycott will cost a lot more than a conservative one.
