Armstrong is a former law professor turned full-time activist. In several posts on her Facebook page, she espouses far-left views and activism. She has also been a key organizer of the boycotts against Target over its decision to scale back its diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
In an opinion piece published in The Minnesota Star Tribune in July, Armstrong advocated for a boycott of Target, accusing the store of having "rolled back its DEI efforts, pulled inclusive displays from shelves and aligned itself with the very forces attacking democracy and racial progress."
In a Sept. 26 post, Armstrong had high praise for Shakur, who was convicted of the murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1977. Armstrong called her "a brave, wise, powerful, and revolutionary Black woman."

In her post, Armstrong wrote, "We will continue to recite the Assata Shakur chant at the end of protests and demonstrations in her memory," adding the hashtag "#AssataTaughtMe."
