Target can't get its footing after its DEI program demise and a 40-day boycott against the retailer. Foot traffic at stores is down for the eighth consecutive week
Good glad to see some tangible numbers. I was a weekly Target shopper but haven't been since the economic blackout day. They were actually doing some cool things after 2020, selling a lot of products from Black-owned businesses. To see them do a 180 is a stark reminder.that they're just a business and $$$ is the name of the game. Gotta hit em all in the pocketbook, it's the only thing they listen to.

Trump Escalates Attacks on Obama and Clinton as Questions Swirl About Epstein
I will say, finally I am seeing consistent headlines that include how whatever dumbassery he's doing is an effort to distract from Epstein. It's like most of media finally got the memo not to just repeat his lies as the headline. They're all tying it back to Epstein.

Insulin
California is contracting its own insulin supply and it'll be available for $11 a pen starting Jan 1, 2026. I know not every state can or are willing to do this but just throwing out some examples and hopefully optimism to somehow fight the American decline from within it. We're in a unique position as our state economy is larger than most countries but I am hopeful we will throw our weight around to counter the bs. https://www.chhs.ca.gov/blog/2025/10/17/governor-newsom-announces-affordable-calrx-insulin-11-a-pen-will-soon-be-available-for-purchase/

The Hands Off Protests Do Matter And It Happened In All 50 States Blue and Red!!!
Yes! My city's protest was a sight to behold. I will point out that these protests are just as much for the protestors as anything else. To be around so many people that gave a fuck was really energizing and hopeful. It pulls you out of your online ecosystem and reminds you that your neighbors care about you and you care about them. It builds momentum for the next protest and the next one and then more collective action. People are credibly talking about a general strike. Economic boycotts are starting to make a (small) dent. Our most effective tool is how we choose to spend our dollars and it's going to take a lot of sacrifice and be more uncomfortable than any of us are probably used to but yesterday showed a whole lot of people that they aren't alone.

'Release the Cuomo List': Zohran Mamdani Launches Scathing New Attack on Rival
Ah I needed that. It tells you all you need to know that establishment DNC is so afraid of him. Turns out, you find out what's been grinding people's gears, you run on a platform of fixing those problems, people like that. Helps that he's way more new media savvy probably just as a consequence of being younger and a digital native. I'm not going to expect perfection from this guy. I'm sure rising stars will falter and make mistakes too just like anyone, let's be realistic. But I see this ad and it's like, yes! This guy doesn't make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I wish I could vote for him. You think he's going to be worse than the ex-gov who resigned in disgrace and the current mayor who made a deal with Trump to make his corruption charges go away? Dude's gonna try and make buses free, ooh how scary.

Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?
Have you seen the shitstorm we're (U.S.) in? We're like the worst car crash you've ever seen and then the ambulance also crashes then the fire truck blows up and then aliens come down and start attacking...kinda hard to look away.

Trade war fallout: Cancellations of Chinese freight ships begin as bookings plummet
Yea, we have a decent amount of inventory for stores for now...but once that runs out and if this all keeps up it's gonna get dicey I'm guessing. I've stopped a lot of my discretionary spending, but I kind of want to get a bidet attachment for my toilet ha. Never got one during the Covid go round but I vaguely recall that we (U.S.) import a lot of Canadian lumber for tp production.

CDC redeploys to Texas measles outbreak after layoffs, as RFK Jr. calls vaccine "most effective way" to stop spread
Man I'm worried about measles in the next year. All the health departments being gutted, I don't think we're going to have a good tracking system to know how far and wide it's going to spread. Big outbreak in Mexico that traces from the Texas outbreak. I am thankful that my immediate area is 95% vaccinated for MMR which should be good for herd immunity but there are a looooot of places these days that are below that. Kids don't deserve this and they will be the ones to suffer.

This is what I've been thinking, his dementia is accelerating. Seems like he keeps saying things out loud that even seem out of character for him. E.g. Saying at the UN other countries are going to hell. I think parts of his brain are disappearing in front of us...
