"What If We Kissed in the Target Ruins"

May 31, 2020

We’ve missed you Zack.

In light of the murder of George Floyd, we don't want to downplay the situation. We, as two Black men, did find that Twitter's comedic relief helped us cope during this difficult time. Today, we would like to share with you what helped keep our spirits up and made us laugh in the group chat.

If you want to help out those on the ground consider donating to some bail funds:

Target is with the shits, fyi.

The CEO of Target agrees that Black Lives Matter more than the contents of their stores. They've agreed to provide resources on the front lines & take care of their employees in the process. & THATS THAT ON THAT!

corporate.target.comA Note From Brian Cornell to Our Teams and Communities in the Twin Cities and BeyondWe are a community in pain. That pain is not unique to the Twin Cities—it extends across America. The murder of George Floyd has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
