Boycott Target (and Amazon): How to Resist with Your Dollars Without Losing Your Mind
City sisters Kimberly and Michelle (Minneapolis and Montreal) unpack what happens when ICE uses Target parking lots as a staging ground, and allows ICE to abduct Target employees on Target property—and Target shrugs. The result: boycotts, protests, and the kind of petty genius only a fed-up community can produce (yes, the salt returns).
From there, they get practical and pointed: if you can’t risk arrest or tear gas, you can still resist by withholding and rerouting your money, because nothing gets corporate attention like a threatened bottom line. They swat down the tired “DEI hurt us” storyline, and demand the billionaire class begin offering living wages and real accountability.
They pose a challenge: collective action for the working class is a long atrophied muscle—one America has to rebuild. While you're at it, you can also clean up your news diet with a well-rounded plate of news sources including Ground News, Ad Fontes, and other more centrist and non-U.S. outlets.
They end with permission to be imperfect: do what you can, let it sting (just a little), and, if it keeps you sane, keep your Netflix (because Bridgerton, duh!).
