Glad to see the Target Boycott is trending. We’re urging our members, & our communities to shop local, not Target for Back to School. Target has not supported Minnesota,the place they got their start, so we are shopping elsewhere

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
People who work for Zohran should talk to child care workers. You cannot build a system based off of a parent survey, or by talking to a handful of program owners and big nonprofit administrators. Child care teachers and providers are workers and they make less than almost every job in NYC.
I have a question for Steph Curry about his investments in Israeli Security Tech. And maybe after you watch this you will too. Let’s make this hard for him to and others invested in this to ignore.

my youngest grandson returns from The Waste. No food again, just metal scraps. But he's so proud, and wants a reward.
"Tell me again about The Great Before. Tell me why The Green went away," he begs.
"in the Before," I begin, "people had questions about who should participate in women's sports..."
More accurate lede @nytimes.com :
A screenshot of the part of the accessibility settings with the option of “Require alt text before posting” selected
Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!
what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?
News is too fraught right now. Don’t screw around with April Fools garbage today.
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them!
The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.
We used to live in rural TN. When our neighbor had her first kid, her politics changed so much. Being a mom made her pro gun control, pro science, pro education …
thoughts on today:
1) the protests are good, actually
2) you should go to one of you can
3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy
4) you might meet people who you can organize with
5) there are more of us than there are of them
6) we are going to win
Thank you so much for pointing this out!
i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people
1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary.
It disavowed the New York Times reporting.
Incredible development for trans youth.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group
A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
🧵The Frey administration is proposing that the City of Minneapolis spend at least $40 million on a “Public Safety Training and Wellness Center.”
Get in stinkers, we're raising funds for tcpipeline.org so fewer trans people have to live in a state that's trying to kill them
When I was at the FTC, we touched on how right of publicity laws might be a way to protect creators in our 2023 "Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Creative Economy" report. This will be a lawsuit to watch: www.ftc.gov/system/files...
We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.
Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.”

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…
I really don't think people understand the degree of organization that is happening in so many regular neighborhoods in America.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
