Why Big Brands Are Going Quiet This Pride Month

This Pride Month, many major brands are scaling back public support amid mounting political and economic pressure. Once known for rainbow-filled campaigns and LGBTQ-themed merchandise, companies like Target, Kohl’s, and Bud Light are now taking a quieter approach—citing concerns about conservative backlash, boycotts, and federal scrutiny under the Trump administration. A survey found 39% of businesses are reducing Pride-related engagement, with 65% preparing for potential backlash. While public displays are muted, many companies continue supporting LGBTQ employees internally. Advocates warn, however, that retreating from visibility could damage brand trust with a growing LGBTQ consumer base.

Class of 2025 Faces the Toughest Job Market in Years — Here’s Why

Despite a strong U.S. economy, recent college graduates are entering the worst job market since the pandemic. Entry-level hiring is down 23%, and unemployment for grads aged 22–27 now surpasses the national average for the first time since 1980. Businesses, rattled by trade tensions, high interest rates, and AI disruptions, are cautious—neither hiring nor firing. Young men are hit hardest, with nearly 10% jobless. Gen Z confidence has plummeted, as many grads face long, fruitless job searches while burdened with student debt. Experts warn AI may already be replacing entry-level roles, making smart career planning more crucial than ever.

Mondelez Sues Aldi Over Lookalike Snack Packaging in Oreo Copycat Clash

Oreo and Chips Ahoy maker Mondelez has filed a federal lawsuit against Aldi, accusing the discount grocer of copying the packaging of several of its popular snacks, including Nutter Butter and Wheat Thins. Mondelez claims Aldi’s lookalike packaging misleads shoppers and could cause lasting harm to its trusted brands. The company is seeking damages and a court order to block Aldi from selling the alleged imitations. This isn’t Aldi’s first packaging dispute—experts say the case will test how close private-label brands can come to mimicking household names without crossing legal lines.
