News just broke that a few weeks before Pride 2024 is set to begin, Target is abandoning the LGBTQ+ community AGAIN by not selling Pride Merch in HALF of its stores this year. Unfortunately, this isn't new. This is a pattern of Target caving to bigots, homophobes and transphobes. Just one week before Pride Month was set to begin in 2023, Target caved to an orchestrated attack by anti-LGBTQ+ bigots and pulled items from their 2023 Pride merch collection off their shelves—which featured items produced by small businesses owned by queer and trans creators, designers, and artists. Target removing pride gear further puts their LGBTQ+ employees and customers at risk of harassment and danger by drawing a line of who is protected, who is supported, and who is listened to that further marginalizes queer communities. It is completely unacceptable for Target to abandon our communities to appease right-wing extremists.

A national paid leave law that excludes fathers, adopting parents, LGBTQ parents or any part of our families will not work for today's America. It is time to pass the FAMILY Act to demonstrate a commitment to workers, our families, and our health.

The White House has drafted a memo calling for the Arkansas National Guard to round up hundreds of thousands of immigrants in Arkansas. But this can’t happen without Governor Asa Hutchinson's approval. We demand that Governor Asa Hutchinson keeps our state’s National Guard out of Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.

The National Security Advisor is the most important job in Washington after the President and President-elect Trump's appointee, retired General Lt. Michael Flynn, is unfit for the job. Flynn shares the same type of fake news that led a gunman to open fire in a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant on Dec 4th. We cannot afford to have such a gullible, paranoid, Islamaphobe in this most-critical post. We join more than 50 nonprofits calling on Trump to rescind Flynn's nomination. Flynn has promoted fake news stories that Obama is a “jihadi” who “laundered” money for Muslim terrorists, that the Clintons committed “sex crimes with children” and “secretly waged war” on the Catholic Church. He joined chants of "Lock her up!" at the Republican National Convention. Since Aug. 9 he has promoted 16 fake news stories on Twitter. Flynn tweeted that “Fear of Muslims is RATIONAL” and voiced unusual views about a connection between China and terrorist organizations. He's retweeted anti-semitic posts. His murky relationship with Russia has been labeled by a Pentagon official as “extremely odd.” Flynn was dismissed from the Defense Intelligence Agency over abusive management tactics. One former colleague described him as “unable to draw consistent conclusions” and Colin L. Powell, Former Secretary of State under George W. Bush, called him “right-wing nutty.” The National Security Advisor will have the last word on how the president should respond to international crises. The shooting of a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant on Dec. 4th was a wake up call that fake news stories can have very real consequences. President-elect Donald Trump's appointee for National Security Advisor has promoted these same kind of dangerous crackpot theories and he must be stopped from directing American military strategies in pursuit of a paranoid agenda. During a growing tide of nationalism around the world, the US needs a National Security Advisor who is level-headed, and retired General Lt. Michael Flynn is the opposite.
