A muffin can go a long way in saying no to our country being destroyed by billionaires and fascist Christians.

No it can't.

I kind of chuckled when someone told me they were going to participate in no buy day by not buying anything from Target that day.

What happened?

40 day Target Fast starts today. Link above is the org for it. This is aimed at those who would like to express Spiritual Resistance to the rollback on DEI policies among other instances of social injustice. You can read about that in the article. It's all spelled out there.

There's another article online about Target already taking one hit and this is now another.

Next Friday at noon @ Washington D.C. and every state capitol.

I just want to say that DEI is not about social justice. It’s not about giving a fair slice of the pie to those poor marginalized people who haven’t been getting what they deserve. On the contrary, it is about putting those people to work in hard jobs. It’s about harnessing an under-utilized resource, tapping the full human talent pool, instead of relying only on an arbitrarily selected subset of people.

It depends, if one of those folks chokes on a muffin.

How are those folks (bold) being arbitrarily selected? What is the process without DEI, vs with DEI?

Remember, it’s important to throw veteran and disabled beneficiaries of DEI under the bus if some angry, middle-aged underperformer mistakenly thinks that the program translates into giving black or LGBTQ folks some sort of unfair advantage.
