If you didn't think Target sucked yet... around here they are allowing State Police to use their parking lot to pull over commercial vehicles under the pretense of inspection
And then if they don't like their papers, ICE is hidden around the corner and swoops in

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.

Alexandria has amazing staff! I emailed today about the Pride Fair tomorrow (because of problem caused by a mix up on my org's side). I got an email quickly and all the info I needed to resolve the issue.
