Their anti-union work is legendary. Walton inspired frikkin Bezos.

That they can talk about “pulling back on DEI efforts” in the news bit and not mention that most of Wally’s workforce is women and PoC? News in a vacuum.

They haven’t “stepped back from diversity, equity and inclusion efforts after feeling the heat from conservative activists.” Walmart IS the Conservative activist in this situation.

Thanks for the heads up OP. Everyone reading probably knows someone who works there or has worked there themselves. Everything they do sets a weighty precedent for workers, to put it mildly.

its former chief diversity officer role is now called the chief belonging officer

… these petty assholes.

I wish this news bit had at least mentioned Walmart’s White Christian fundamentalist roots. Or how they destroy local businesses and source overseas for their ‘free market,’ their anti-union activism, low wages, shit healthcare options, well-documented sexism and racism in the workplace, etc. In 2020, Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon was an advisor to Trump. Walmart’s political spending in 2024 alone should’ve been at least a footnote. Context matters so much.

It’s been bonkers. We had one qanon grifter declare herself Queen of Canada and she has irl cultists follow her from town to town. During the worst of the pandemic, she had them sending death threats to healthcare workers (because Freedom). But even the main followers of the border shutdown and capitol occupation were frothy screwballs.

Like, they really shouldn’t have turned her facebook off!

From my point of view, the right-wing disinfo campaign is global. Copy-paste. Conservatives up north are even using a lot of the exact same media relations people as yours down south.

Convites in Canada like to cry first amendment too. Just not Canada’s first amendment in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Citing the US constitution. In Canadian courts.

imo worse than Yanks confused and offended they can’t bring their guns when they go shopping in Toronto. Just dumb over-entitled main characters.
