People are supporting economic boycotts to show discontent with businesses capitulating to Trump’s agenda
It’s the busiest shopping season of the year – and a time when many are trying to figure out where to ethically spend their money.
Over the first year of Trump’s second term, companies and institutions have fallen in line with the administration’s anti-DEI and anti-immigration policies. As a result, people are supporting economic boycotts to show their discontent with the businesses capitulating to the president.
Over the Black Friday weekend, the groups behind the No Kings protests – the largest days of mass protest in recent memory – put their weight behind a campaign called We Ain’t Buying It, calling on people to not shop at Target, Home Depot and Amazon during the marquee week of holiday deals.
Yes, the website only lists Target, Home Depot and Amazon.

It might be a good idea to limit it to just a few of the biggest ones at first. It makes it less daunting and easier to remember, encouraging participation. And if any of these three companies detect a noticeable drop in sales, it will make the news.
There seems to be a watchlist ticker on their site:
There’s also a green “buycott” list which is confusing.
OOTL: what did Aldi do for deserving a boycott?
Thanks for pointing that out, it does look like it’s a list. An actual list would be good too.
This site looks like it was designed by a marketing company. Who the hell wants to use a ticker to see brands?
I feel like this could just be a page on github
But github is microsoft. So boycot the very site it is on? That doesn’t make sense.
It could be on any hosted git. Forgejo or whatever. I just meant an open repository, something public
Github freaks out normies though.
It needs to be flashy and garish and gaudy like all the other marketing material they’re exposed to every day, so it feels expected and “trustworthy.”
That “ticker” is like the worst possible way to present that information though. What in the Macromedia Shockwave and Geocities is going on there lol.
Flash returns! Quick! Break out the actionscript books!
Don’t forget silverlight, flash but .net
What did Target do other than the DEI flip flop flip?
Sadly, i think that’s their sin. The DEI capitulation. They used to be a democratic option to Walmart.
Hey, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot? You can change this in your account settings.
Edit: this matters because some users filter bot comments and posts
I heard Wal-Mart donated a million to a trans cause recently. Strategies, they have. Guess they will kill more competition and then go back to solely pandering to toothless patriots.
If they posted the list, because I seen the list. My family would strave because all the grocery options we have 100% support Trump.
