Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids?
Seems relevant now.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

In the 1950s, LGBTQ+ public servants were pushed out of government due to their identity.
As HRC’s Jonathan Lovitz illustrates, the recent dismissal of David Maltinsky for displaying a Pride flag is a warning sign that those days may return. https://bit.ly/49Fc18x

Not one person has provided a good argument against democratic socialism — they usually regurgitate capitalist arrogance or can’t imagine a world where the poor people are free from capitalist burdens
The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.
Some decry this view as "socialism."
I call it fair.

CONTINUE TO BOYCOTT TARGET!!!!!
Everyone commenting that nobody wants this — nor does it address the reasons people no longer shop there — is obviously right! But I wanna point out another thing:
This very nefariously transfers ~blame~ for the company’s performance (ahem, repercussions for its choices) onto store employees
This very nefariously transfers ~blame~ for the company’s performance (ahem, repercussions for its choices) onto store employees
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
