Costco is the new Target—and not just for bulk snacks. As Target’s once-progressive halo dims under political pressure and plunging foot traffic, shoppers on both sides of the aisle are walking away. Meanwhile, a Texas judge defends free speech and drag, giving the green light for students to bring Draggieland back to Texas A&M. And finally, David Wallace makes the case for why gay bars still matter, even if straight people treat them like novelty nightclubs. Identity, retail, and resistance—it’s all on tap.
