@EugeneMcParland I'm sorry. As an American I am ashamed. #Ukraine needs to stop counting on the US, even for decency. #Trump has #capitulated to #Putin . He's a traitor to this country.
Ukraine needs to look to Europe; Europe needs to add Ukraine to the Union, and treat Ukraine as a #NATO member, with full rights and protections. And if #Orban argues, #Hungary should be kicked out of the EU and NATO. Orban is Putin's dog anyway.

#Target's #poor #PrideMonth #decision proves #companies can’t have it both ways.

As #brands launch #Pride #initiatives, let #Target be an example of what not to do. #Target #capitulated to #hate because it was making #bets with #TheBottomLine.
