lol. If OP is not shopping at Target and Amazon, she’s definitely not going to Hobby Lobby![/quote]

This is OP and lol.  You bet I don't shop at hobby lobby (though I don't think MoCo has any stores so it's easy).

Thanks for all the comments, even those who don't agree or understand my anti-Target stance.  You do you, but I greatly disliked their DEI retraction (it was literally within hours of the EO) and so I'm avoiding spending money there when I can (which is most of the time - except BTS).  If I do have to purchase there (baby registry gifts) then I make sure to put BIPOC brands in my order.  Amazon and Walmart have always been generally terrible so Target felt different, particularly with all of their inclusive branding/history (breastfeeding in fitting rooms, using models with disabilities in their ads, pride month, BIPOC brands etc etc etc).

You don't have to get it, just sharing what my goal was.  Like PPs, I am seeing enough evidence of the boycott's impact to continue avoiding shopping there.

In the end, I ordered all their supplies from our school's supply site.  I had previously heard the selection/quality was low, but then talking with other parents realized they quite liked their products, even at greater cost since the school gets a cut. Win win!  FWIW, Staples was best in terms of selection/DEI policies (which wouldn't have been my deciding factor a year ago, but is now especially since they're remaining committed since January despite the pressure).

Im out of the loop. What is OP's political tribe and what did Target and Amazon upper management do to piss off OP's tribe? Also what did Hobby Lobby do that is somehow worse?[/quote]
