Are you telling me that those photographs are actually clothing being marketed to kids? Or are I would not have believed it if I did not see the pictures. Target is finished for me as well.
This whole linking of Satan to LGBQT etc. is both informative and scary. Where will this thing end?

Giving up shopping at Target has been one of the easiest sacrifices I've made. Haven't entered one in at least 4 years (ironically, Covid-related lockdown was the final nail in the coffin). I don't miss it at all.
Try to shop local. Lots of mom and pop places offer the same stuff. It takes adjustment, but once you’ve made the switch it’s totally easy. We gave it up when Target wouldn’t support Toys for Tots- c’mon toys for kids donation box not allowed in the front of the store? Buh bye!
Agree, I gave up AMZ when they cancelled Parler and have boycotted Wal Mart for over a decade for a host of reasons, and KMart has gone out of business. I am all for 'shop local', but Target was my go to for my cats' favorite food and cat litter, health and beauty, cleaning supplies and paper products and a few grocery items I can't find elsewhere. All in one stop. I am not aware of any local business that carries these kinds of things, they are all chains. I don't have time for going to 5 different stores, and grocery store prices on a lot of the HBA and cleaning products are a LOT higher, and money is tight right now. Sigh. I am in on the boycott but not happy about it.
Perhaps you can at least reduce the amount you spend there?
I was boycotting Kroger for the last two years because they discriminate against unjabbed employees. But now we have some new dietary restrictions, and some things we can find only at Kroger. But I try doing most of my grocery shopping elsewhere.
Well I am staying away , as there have been too many incidents to count at this point, between banning the salvation army, to the transgender bathroom issue and now the over the top pride crap targeted at kids. I think they have had some $ difficulties before this even started, and my concern is that if they go out of business, does this just make Wal Mart and AMZ stronger? And less consumer choice means higher prices. We do have Dollar General and Big Lots but their selection is pretty hit and miss although their prices are decent. But they don't carry my cat brands or my make up and beauty items so have to find someplace else.
We are a strange market, our 2 big grocery chains are HyVee, HQ out of Iowa and Price Chopper that is just in our KC market so don't have the national woke grocery chains here although Target and WM do have grocery too. My husband used to know the family that owns the Price Choppers as he used to call on them for work and says they are solid conservatives, but that was the father who has since retired, actually in the 4th generation now and so who knows about the kids who are running it now. But no evidence of wokery anyway. Neither grocery chain even enforced the mask mandates as I shopped both and never had anyone say anything to me about not wearing one, except a few customers, so doubt they required the jab.
Yes, I love thriftbooks! I actually patronized a local bookstore for some books but then they sided with the school district on the porn books, and literally had a 'banned book' package they were advertising with some of the disgusting titles we were fighting the school district over. So local does not necessarily mean 'non-woke'.
AbeBooks is another place where I have found great used books. Haven’t looked for new there. Just some solid old chapter books no longer in print but good for our kiddo or homeschool.
I’m trying to sort that out as well. Smart & Final is right next door to Target, so I’ve been going there for some food items, beverages, cleaning supplies, kitchen supplies. Then there’s just the regular grocery store, of course. I was buying things like light bulbs, power strips, air filters, etc at Target and have started going to Ace Hardware (which also has an EXCELLENT selection of canning supplies). Walmart grosses me out, so they aren’t an option. I always buy small appliances at Costco, so that won’t be a problem until THEY turn Satanic. My hairstylist told me she just bought two pairs of Rx eyeglasses at Target and is returning them this weekend for her money back.
Can you make your own snacks for the kids? Some of the snacks they sell are ultra processed and unhealthy anyway. We like to make our own air popped popcorn-
In death...suicides, morals, ethics, a nation...unless we never walk into a Target again or buy online...all of the junk is dead to me. Parents are to protect their children...not only from physical harm, but from mental harm. All the violence and acceptance of filth that our children have been subjected to is unacceptable. This goes for adults too. I used to enjoy Chicago med and fire on Wednesdays, but then ask myself just why do I need to be watching blood and tragedy. I don't. I pray for wholesomeness and non violence in our world.
If you read Scripture at all, Michael...all of this depravity that is SO prolific now is actually foretold in Biblical prophecy--especially in the books of Daniel and Revelations. satan and his minions are so busy deceiving and proselytizing right now because "their time of destruction is drawing nigh"...the REDEEMER is at the door waiting for the go ahead from the FATHER to lead the battle against ALL EVIL at Armageddon. Cleaning up the "mess" that rebellious humans have made of His perfect creation!
NYPost has an article on the Abprallen products, which Target was marketing, with photos. The slogans are unwelcome, but Baphomet & Satan are not among them. Otherwise, the designs look like Peter Max drawings in pastel. The designer used the Satanic theme for a different line, not at Target.
Incidentally, while trying to get some sort of a handle on this very strange and confusing agenda, I learn odd details. According to some, Baphomet is considered to be of mixed gender. Could this be why a trans cult embraces this figure?
Meanwhile, the Post article describes the designer as a "gay trans man". I haven't a guess what that means in practice. Gender preference and partner preference being separate questions, from what I can find. Not to mention what one might call anatomical irregularities, not to put too fine a point on it.
Look online. Some of it as been taken down. They have Pride shirts in youth sizes with lisenced products: traditional Disney characters, star Wars, Marvel, Looney Tunes, Harry Potter, Minecraft, Precious Moments. They even used a play on Lion King's "Pride"

So where do you shop instead? I’m running out of options because they are all bad
I do a lot of my shopping at thrift stores.
They often support good causes
The prices are right
You're supporting the environment by buying recycled items!
But never for toilet paper. Never. That's what Walmart delivery is for.

Same here. Not a lot of good options for many of the products and I already go to several different stores 😕
They’re all bad, but Target has been awful for decades. They were supporting abortion 20-30 years ago.
I try to find the least bad places.
Thriftbooks.com for books. Other online retailers for other stuff - maybe shop on The Brazilian River but then go to the product website to purchase.

I agree. My challenge is finding affordable snacks for my kid. Thats basically all we shopped there for. That and toiletries.

I was wondering the same thing Michael. I had not seen any of the products just read about the bathing suits etc.
