Nestlé boycott begins as activists target DEI rollbacks

Published

3 minute read

Quick Hit:

The latest corporate boycott targeting companies rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is set to begin this week, with Nestlé in the crosshairs. Unlike previous boycotts of Amazon and Target, which focused on avoiding specific retailers, this campaign urges consumers to boycott hundreds of household products from March 21 to March 28. Other major companies, including Walmart, McDonald’s, and General Mills, are also slated for boycotts in the coming months.

Key Details:

  • The Nestlé boycott runs from March 21 to March 28 and encourages avoiding products like Cheerios, KitKat, Purina pet food, and DiGiorno frozen pizza.

  • The movement follows the rollback of DEI policies by several major corporations after President Donald Trump’s call to eliminate DEI at the federal level.

  • Additional boycotts are planned for Walmart, McDonald’s, and Amazon, with an “economic blackout” scheduled for April 18.

Diving Deeper:

The push for boycotts against Nestlé and other corporations stems from a broader activist response to changes in corporate policies following President Donald Trump’s directive to rescind DEI initiatives at the federal level. Many companies, including AmazonTarget, and Walmart, have scaled back or eliminated their DEI programs, prompting backlash from activist groups.

While past boycotts targeted specific retailers—such as avoiding Amazon purchases or skipping Target shopping trips—the Nestlé boycott is structured differently. Consumers are being asked to avoid a wide range of products, from Coffee-Mate creamers to Stouffer’s frozen meals and Perrier sparkling water. This more expansive approach seeks to impact Nestlé’s bottom line across multiple product categories, rather than just limiting consumer spending at a particular store.

This campaign is part of a broader wave of organized economic boycotts. A 40-day boycott of Target was launched last week, intentionally aligning with Lent, a religious period of fasting leading up to Easter. Additionally, Amazon is facing another boycott in May following one that concluded recently.

Nestlé is far from the last target. Activists have mapped out additional boycotts for General Mills (April 21-28), McDonald’s (June 24-30), and an Independence Day boycott on July 4. These efforts appear to be designed for maximum financial pressure, with coordinated economic “blackouts” meant to disrupt revenue streams at key moments throughout the year.

As these corporate boycotts continue, companies may be forced to decide between maintaining DEI initiatives to appease activists or rolling them back to avoid alienating a different segment of their customer base. With President Trump advocating against DEI policies, businesses that comply with his agenda may find themselves the target of an increasingly organized opposition.

Trump family announces Trump Mobile: Made in America, for America

Published on

Quick Hit:

On the 10-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s iconic campaign launch, the Trump family announced the debut of Trump Mobile, a new wireless company offering American-built smartphones, 5G coverage, and a values-driven alternative to Big Tech carriers.

Key Details:

  • Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump introduced Trump Mobile’s flagship service Monday, calling it a “transformational” alternative aimed at “our nation’s hardest-working people.”

  • The “47 Plan,” priced at $47.45/month, offers unlimited talk, text, and data, free international calls to U.S. military families, telehealth, roadside assistance, and no credit checks.

  • Trump Mobile’s customer support is fully U.S.-based and live 24/7—“not automated,” the company says—while a new American-made “T1 Phone” is slated for release in August.

Diving Deeper:

Marking ten years since President Donald Trump descended the golden escalator to launch his first campaign, the Trump Organization on Monday announced its boldest private sector move yet: Trump Mobile.

Flanked by company executives, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump unveiled the new cellular service, touting it as a patriotic, people-first alternative to legacy providers. “We’re building on the movement to put America first,” Trump Jr. said in a statement. “We will deliver the highest levels of quality and service.”

The cornerstone of Trump Mobile is the 47 Plan. Offered for $47.45/month, the plan includes unlimited data, full 5G coverage across all three major carriers, and a suite of benefits tailored to middle-class families, truckers, veterans, and anyone tired of paying premiums to companies that don’t share their values.

Among the key perks: 24/7 American-based customer service (with “real people,” not bots), comprehensive device protection, roadside assistance through Drive America, and telehealth services including mental health support and prescription delivery. Most notably, the plan includes free international calling to over 100 countries—an effort the Trump family says honors U.S. military families stationed abroad.

“We’re especially proud to offer free long-distance calling to our military members and their families,” said Eric Trump. “Those serving overseas should always be able to stay connected to the people they love back home.”

Unlike traditional providers, Trump Mobile advertises no contracts and no credit checks, appealing to a demographic long underserved by mainstream telecom giants. “Hard-working Americans deserve a wireless service that’s affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality they can count on,” Eric Trump added.

The company is also preparing to launch the T1 Phone in August—a sleek, gold smartphone “engineered for performance” and “proudly designed and built in the United States.” With that, the Trump Organization is not just entering the mobile market—it’s staking a claim as a direct competitor to Apple and Samsung.

Carney praises Trump’s world ‘leadership’ at G7 meeting in Canada

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

Canada’s prime minister said it was a ‘great honor’ to host the U.S. president and praised him for saying Canada wants to work with the U.S. ‘hand-in-hand.’

During the second day of the G7 leaders meeting in the Kananaskis area in Alberta, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s world “leadership” despite saying many negative things about him during his election campaign.

While speaking to reporters Monday, Trump hinted that a new trade deal between Canada and the United States was potentially only “weeks” away. This came after a private meeting with Carney before the official G7 talks commenced.

“We’ve developed a very good relationship. And we’re going to be talking about trade and many other things,” Trump told reporters.

Carney was less vocal, however. He used the opportunity to tell reporters he was happy Trump came to his country for the G7 meeting, saying it was a “great honor” to host him.

“This marks the 50th birthday of the G7, and the G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership,” Carney told reporters.

He then spoke about Trump’s “personal leadership” on world issues and praised him for saying Canada wants to work with the U.S. “hand-in-hand.”

Carney ran his election campaign by claiming the Conservative Party would bow to Trump’s demands despite the fact that the party never said such things.

During his federal election campaign, Carney repeatedly took issue with Trump and the U.S. that turned into an anti-American Canadian legacy media frenzy.

However, the reality is, after Carney won the April 28 federal election, Trump praised him, saying, “Canada chose a very talented person.”

Trump has routinely suggested that Canada become an American state in recent months, often making such statements while talking about or implementing trade tariffs on Canadian goods.

As for Carney, he has said his government plans to launch a “new economy” in Canada that will involve “deepening” ties to the world.
