Target and Ulta mutually agree not to renew partnership launched in 2021 Target and Ulta Beauty are parting ways, ending a partnership launched in 2021 that created in-store shops filled with beauty products at hundreds of the discounter’s stores.

"...Target is struggling to regain its footing with its shoppers who are pulling back on discretionary items and are shopping at other rivals that they believe to be lower price or offer better merchandise."

...and don't betray BIPOC customers, employees, and businesses.

The Israeli gov't actions actively preventing food aid to a civilian population they have imprisoned in an outdoor concentration camp goes beyond depraved indifference to an active policy of genocidal collective punishment.

ICE is going to get someone killed.

This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.

If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.

Hope everyone’s OK.

β€˜No alternative funding sources’: Trump’s stifling of disaster aid leaves cities adrift The president canceled $4.5 billion in FEMA grants that helped communities prepare for rising disaster damage.

You know, it'd cool if the federal government had an emergency Management agency, let's call it FEMA, that would coordinate assistance and support communities experiencing natural disasters like this. Yeah. That'd be cool.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Makes Herself Heard, Prompting a Rebuke

Due respect to the great RBG, but I haven't seen a justice who better understood their judicial responsibility within the context of the times in which she serves as well as to history as Justice Jackson.

She will be studied & influence generations of new lawyers.

Portland peeps, especially in District 3 (but ALL are welcome), please join us in celebrating the life and legacy of John Lewis. The word "icon" gets overused these days but is truly apt for this legendary Civil Rights activist and champion.

I'm not sure I like stacking the @trailblazers.bsky.social with Clingan, Ayton, Williams III, Reath, and now Yang Hanson. Probably, wanted to move DA & Timelord anyway, but when supply goes up and demand stays static, the asking price will take a hit.

It was my 1st time as an organizer and Safety Marshal at one of the many #NOKINGS events in PDX today. So proud the work my comrades and I put in, along with the spirit of community and non-violence displayed by all attendees, resulted in ZERO reported injuries.

Who keeps us safe? WE KEEP US SAFE!
