A nationwide consumer boycott has begun, mass firings at weather agencies have impacted hundreds of career employees, Trump will make English the national language, and more.
Been boycotting the bigger non-DEI stores for a few weeks now. Shopping local and supporting small mom and pop shops, especially those with an international flavor. I’m not stopping my boycott anytime soon either.
Haven’t been to target or Walmart personally in almost a month. My business buys almost 800 worth of paper goods products every week from Walmart and we switch to a local supplier!
Aldi rolled back their DEI programs as well sadly. I have to drive over an hour to grocery shop now, but I’ve just been sticking to Costco and Trader Joe’s.
This, and same. No more amazon, target, Walmart, etc….plus only buying what I need and trying to find it at thrift, small shops, etc… Been doing it since the first of the year and I’ve saved quite a bit of money plus I feel like I am making an impact. It has felt good honestly.
There's three initiatives that are put down through the WEF.
CEI (Corporate Equality Index)
ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance)
DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion)
These initiatives are put down as social initiatives from the World Economic Forum, the most powerful people on the planet, through the banks to the big corporations.
These corporations, unlike my business, actually depend on that financing 100%. So if they don't do the things that these three initiatives, the CEI, ESG, and the DEI say, they actually lose their funding, so they can't operate their business.
So you say, why aren't these people smart enough to understand they're destroying their business? They can't not do it. Because if they don't do it they won't get their funding, so they can't operate so they have no choice but to do it.
And they drive their business into the dirt, and here's why that's happening. Because the people who run these companies - the officers of the companies are not the founders of the companies. These are people that are many generations removed and many degrees of caring about the actual brand, removed. All right?
So these people are college graduates who think they know a bunch of stuff because they have an advanced degree, and they are making decisions that are, you know, basically about the money. And they think that eventually people will adopt this and it will stop, but it's not going to stop and it's not supposed to stop.
What's happening is we are dealing with a communist insurgency that is undermining the values and the identity of the American public. What they are doing is they are intentionally creating a scenario where the American people are rejecting this initiative, [and this] is actually hurting iconic American brands that remove much of the American identity. So, when you name these companies off: all of these companies represent America - when you think of them traditionally.
So now, they're removing part of the identity, which is part of the communist process called demoralization. There's less identity in America, there's less to fight for, which makes it easier to conquer. Alright.
Then on top of it, one of the goals, of communism, is to create two classes of very poor and very rich. So what they're doing here is they are getting the American public to cancel all their own companies. That actually hurts their own neighbors who are good, hardworking American people. The people at Bud Light - at the top - are not the ones feeling the pain here. It's the delivery drivers, it's the hard working red, white, and blue Americans that believe the same [things] that you all believe, who are getting fired or laid off, or losing because of this.
So they have run an operation to push this initiative down the companies' throats intentionally, where the companies cannot resist it because they're required to do so for their funding, knowing that the American people are going to reject it and destroy these companies, creating the lower class system that they're trying to create in the first place.
Of course those at the top won’t feel the pain. Not immediately. And of course those just below have to follow the rules in part so that they keep their own jobs and others employed. I am in one of these situations. Guess what, we might all lose our jobs anyway. Yes it will hurt us, but what’s the option - keep feeding the monster so he lets us live in our cage?
And I disagree that these companies represent American identity. Target isn’t me. Bud light isn’t me. Freedom of choice, dignity for all individuals, valuing education, the right to healthcare and the pursuit of happiness. - that represents me. That is American. Not Walmart. Not Amazon. Not Best Buy.
Rejecting those business is not demoralizing. But standing up for my values and our freedoms is invigorating.
"...people are college graduates who think they know a bunch of stuff because they have an advanced degree, and they are making decisions that are, you know, basically about the money." This is an old trope demonizing higher education. While not the end-all, knowledge means something. Greed does not have boundaries—no matter your education or political affiliation.
“DOGE has uncovered that NOAA and NWS have employees working that have been dead for years. This means that they are paying dead people to report on weather…” — stupid press secretary
Thank you…. Your levelheaded reporting alleviates some of my anxiety induced by the political climate of this administration. I will never look at an orange Cheeto the same again. 😞
Yes, only buy essentials and shop local and thrift stores if needed. Also utilize local libraries for seed banks, tools and equipment. Many people do not realize you can rent almost anything you need from most libraries. We have the power to bankrupt these corporations if enough of us stop shopping!
Today's boycott is not about DEI. It's about showing we have economic power and are not happy with the direction of this country. Companies need to stop supporting the Trump administration. Today if you need to shop -- small, independent stores and cash only. No credit card purchases.
That’s a great week boy cut at Walmart because it’s the week before Easter when people are out buying all their Easter basket, supplies and kids, clothes and food for your Easter meal not me. I won’t be buying nothing.
I am participating in the boycott. Today I called and closed my Target card as well. I made sure to tell them it was because of their policy on DEI. Make good trouble today friends
Yup, I also ended my Prime membership, deleted the Amazon app, and unplugged the Alexa. I deactivated my Facebook account (will dl data and full delete later), and deleted Instagram account, and PayPal account and removed all the Apps from my phone. Twitter was gone the day it became X. I feel lighter
Honestly, I’m surrounded by them. I live in a red county in a blue state. My daily life involves dealing with them. Sometimes it’s obvious who they are, but others are less so.

Same. Also stopped shopping at Walmart and Target a few weeks ago, which were convenient places for us.
same, its been Aldi and Trader Joe's. (i know TJ has it's problems, but at least we are not supporting target or walmart)
Aldi rolled back their DEI programs as well sadly. I have to drive over an hour to grocery shop now, but I’ve just been sticking to Costco and Trader Joe’s.
Noooooo 😩
Ditto
Canceled Amazon Prime. Never going back
Me too!
Me too.

Cancelling multiple subscriptions too!
We canceled a bunch like Roku and Disney plus a couple of weeks ago. 😁

Agreed!

Me too!
I've been doing the same. It's something to do peacefully in support of DEI.
Me too.
Same here.
Same!
The funniest part has been the idiots praising these NOAA firings on X saying (and I quote) “ well that is why we have the weather apps”
You can’t fix stupid. They really don’t know where these apps get their data 🙄
Who do they think gives the weather information to the apps? Stuck on stupid.
These are also the same morons that will want assistance after the hurricane hits their location and rips their home apart.
“DOGE has uncovered that NOAA and NWS have employees working that have been dead for years. This means that they are paying dead people to report on weather…” — stupid press secretary
I think STUPID is the operative word right now. F'ing STUPID.
Thank you…. Your levelheaded reporting alleviates some of my anxiety induced by the political climate of this administration. I will never look at an orange Cheeto the same again. 😞
Thank you! Doing my best.
We should be boycotting everyday
Yes, only buy essentials and shop local and thrift stores if needed. Also utilize local libraries for seed banks, tools and equipment. Many people do not realize you can rent almost anything you need from most libraries. We have the power to bankrupt these corporations if enough of us stop shopping!
You have taught me something new today!
Happy to help!
Farmers Market for food, local merchants for anything else. Except Medication that comes from Canada.
I am. Only groceries and gas. Either local or brands not known to support the repubs.
Yep same!
We have been, every time we decide not to stop at Target, etc.
Today's boycott is not about DEI. It's about showing we have economic power and are not happy with the direction of this country. Companies need to stop supporting the Trump administration. Today if you need to shop -- small, independent stores and cash only. No credit card purchases.
Epstein=distraction
What I thought immediately!
That’s a great week boy cut at Walmart because it’s the week before Easter when people are out buying all their Easter basket, supplies and kids, clothes and food for your Easter meal not me. I won’t be buying nothing.
Easter is in April this year but the next economic blackout is scheduled for 4/18, Good Friday!
The boycotts as I understand are not solely related to dei. They are for all big corps and oligarchs. And for president musk and bootlicker trump
yes. And today is a Blackout -- Cash only at local stores. (No Visa etc.)
I am participating in the boycott. Today I called and closed my Target card as well. I made sure to tell them it was because of their policy on DEI. Make good trouble today friends
Brilliant!
We should also delete Apps related to these businesses.
Yup, I also ended my Prime membership, deleted the Amazon app, and unplugged the Alexa. I deactivated my Facebook account (will dl data and full delete later), and deleted Instagram account, and PayPal account and removed all the Apps from my phone. Twitter was gone the day it became X. I feel lighter
I’m also boycotting local MAGA supporting businesses from now on. If they have merch, flags, etc., I walk out.
I’m too scared to even walk into those places!
Honestly, I’m surrounded by them. I live in a red county in a blue state. My daily life involves dealing with them. Sometimes it’s obvious who they are, but others are less so.
Yes one employee was a 25 yr veteran of NOAA. He did storm predictions.
Those mentioned above will miss storm alerts or alerts that post to late. on their apps
Thank you!!! Is it possible if someone can share a copy of all of Nestle and General Mills products as there are a ton!
There are far too many to list so, here's a link to everything General Mills has https://www.generalmills.com/food-we-make/brands and Nestle in the US https://www.nestleusa.com/brands
You could use the boycat app which was created by the BDS campaign to boycott any companies doing business in Israel. General Mills is on there

I can’t believe the minerals deal, it makes me so mad that we’re forcing Ukraine’s hand
Zelensky went to a university to study law and he was a partner of 2 TV stations I'm sure he knows to read the fine print.
I am returning books to Amazon that I ordered for Bible study. Instead, I am ordering them from a local independent bookstore.
I hope there's a place to write why you're returning so you can tell them.
So disappointed about this mineral deal. I was hoping he was not going to give into the bully.
I hope Zelenskyy just backs out of the deal. The way our government is backing out of its deal.
I still hope he doesn't. 😥
I hope there is a next administration
Hopefully, the next admin reverses this or makes it fair.
My family and I started our boycott of all big box stores at the beginning of February. We aren't going back.
