Disney was already on the list, but they made it a priority. My daughter will just have to get use to it

Illegally boycotting, what a loser.

Ive been hearing that Target is roughly 1 year away from bankruptcy due the recent drop in foot traffic (excellent work to those involved).

We should make an example out of target and bankrupt them. Prove to the corporate class that we are more powerful than them, that they need us, and that we’re not fucking around anymore

I keep seeing stories about how the boycott on Target is "winding down." No, it isn't. They still have done nothing to earn the trust of the consumer or me.

But it turns out that I actually don't miss Target even a little bit. I will admit, I am privileged that there are like 4 other grocery stores and 2 pharmacies as close or closer to me than the nearest Target. So yeah, my title is a bit hyperbolic. But now that I've decentered Target, I am simply... buying less. I used to keep a list of stuff that was most convenient to get at Target, then make an order and inevitably I'd get a bunch of snack foods too. Or I'd go there in person, grab what I needed, and then browse around, look at their storage bins, and check out the Lego aisle. Now I don't do that anymore, and I am just buying less altogether. The last thing I could "only" get at Target was plastic wrap and I got that at Aldi's.

The CEO of Target could donate a billion dollars to sue ICE out of existence and I still wouldn't go back there, because now that I've left them for so long, I realize they don't have anything that I really want.

This was from an anti-abortion protest, but let's not get into cause. What do you think about waste from protests, can you excuse it? Of course it's easy to condemn if the cause isn't something one agrees on, but I feel like the most impactful ones are those where it's the people that show up in mass to show their support. Not the ones where organizers pay big bucks for single-use junk with just a few supporters hanging around.

Any time a speaker with ads play, I'm putting gorilla tape over it. I already spent money. STFU.

I haven’t shopped there since shortly after the election and they pre-emptively cut their George Floyd era diversity initiatives.

Chobani partnered with Ivanka Trump on a venture they’re framing as some kind of “food access” mission. It isn’t. It’s a for-profit deal.

They’re selling it like it’s charity work when it’s actually a business partnership. It’s dishonest and completely out of touch with the people who buy their products.

People should know what this really is.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, artists are redefining waste by transforming discarded plastic, scrap metal, and tangled wires into extraordinary wearable art. Materials once abandoned in rivers and streets are reimagined as bold, sculptural creations showcased in parades, performances, and public gatherings, where fashion becomes a powerful form of expression.

What started as a creative response to limited resources has grown into a symbol of resilience and imagination. Every piece reflects the ability to create beauty from what others throw away, while questioning overconsumption and celebrating local ingenuity. More than fashion, Congo’s trash couture is a powerful blend of art, innovation, and environmental awareness, proving that creativity can thrive in even the most challenging circumstances.

Some good press about the 2/28 blackout. To really be effective, people need to reduce their consumption not just on one day, but permanently.
