TL;DR Summary

Target stores in at least five states received bomb threats over the weekend, which led to evacuations, but no explosives were found. The incidents are believed to be linked to the backlash over the retail chain's Pride Month merchandise. Target had earlier announced that it would pull back its merchandise for Pride Month after threats over this year's collection. The company did not specify which items were being removed, but misinformation in recent days has centered on its children's bathing suits that were falsely labeled as "tuck-friendly" by prominent conservative groups and media outlets.
