We Did It - Target CEO Leaving after 3rd Bad Quarter

1. Never underestimate the power of a grass roots movement by Black women. Never ever.

2. Never underestimate the power of a TRUE boycott.

For those of you who their only option for affordable food and goods is Target - do what you have to do in these times of economic uncertainty, absurdly high inflation, and tariff terror.

Those of us who have options? We'll cover you honey!

He'll try to turn this into a far leftist win -

When it's Black folks in particular Black Women who started this in January - organically.

If it gets to him as an issue -he will place it as a win for Left Indies -

Instead of Black Americans.

We have the playbook - the Bus Boycott. If we do that and keep it sustained -

We can break a LOT of these fascist fucks.

How did he think the Bus Boycott got done?

He's a smart guy - but he doesn't view the world through the same lens as the party base.
