I didn't know about this but I was kind of doing it anyway. In the past, any time I might otherwise have shopped at Walmart or Amazon or other large chains, I'd make a point to buy from Target because of their anti-discrimination stance. Now that incentive is gone, so no more Target for me. I'm buying all that stuff from a local grocery store instead, or occasionally Costco.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boycott</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Target" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Target</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p>
