Apple is pushing back as well. They remain committed. That’s important to me as a shareholder.
Costco seems to be the only major company that is rejecting MAGA's hate and remains committed to DEI. They said it helps them retain employees and improves and products and services.
Meanwhile, META, McDonalds, Wal Mart, and Amazon can all kick rocks.

Important read from @losangelista.bsky.social for @wordinblacknews.bsky.social on Walmart dropping DEI. “A slap in the face to Black America’s $1.8 trillion spending power”
It’s not that Black folks thought the post-George-Floyd racial reckoning would last forever. Our ancestors lived through Reconstruction, so we know better. But Walmart ditching its promises is a slap in Black America's $1.8 trillion spending power face. wordinblack.com/2024/11/blac...
Black America Doesn't Have to Shop at Walmart
Those post-George-Floyd promises are over. Walmart is axing its racial equity center and ditching DEI. Does it still deserve Black dollars?

Our new anti-DEI reality. These initiatives work. It’s pure hatred driving this resistance. @wordinblacknews.bsky.social @losangelista.bsky.social @keithboykin.bsky.social
Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, said it will roll back initiatives aimed at enhancing DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion, at the workplace, as such programs face growing legal scrutiny and conservative backlash.

Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in U.S. workplaces are under growing scrutiny. Activist Robby Starbuck had targeted Walmart’s policies in an online campaign.
