California will cut ties with Walgreens over the company's plan to drop abortion pills
Walgreens really only had three approaches to choose from, and each has a price:
- Stand up to the GOP
- Pull out of the affected states entirely
- Give in like cowards, which they did
They chose the one with the mise potential damage, including to their reputation. That type of damage doesn't go away.

Walgreens trying to claw back their fuck-up is hilarious. Too little too late. #fuckwalgreens props to Gov Newsome. First democrat I know of who uses the office, power and influence for good đź‘Ť
@noyes @inklings @SrRochardBunson I used to use them bc they were the cheapest when I didn’t have insurance. That claim went away about 5 yrs ago so I really have no problem boycotting them. Yes, I’m very petty.
In a time where pharmacies are popping up and fighting for our business, you’d think their ceo would be a little more aware of the market. He’s what happens when you only watch fox

And a blue state governor hits back on Walgreens.
"'California is reviewing all relationships between Walgreens and the state. We will not pursue business with companies that cave to right wing bullies pushing their extremist agenda or companies that put politics above the health of women and girls,' a spokesperson for Newsom said in an emailed statement to The Hill."
Walgreens Caves to Antiabortion Republicans — Including in States Where Abortion Remains Legal - Vanity Fair https://apple.news/AbXVSzlgDQwac6-vPgZS9PA #fuckwalgreens
"Abortion remains legal right now in states like Alaska, Iowa, Montana, and Kansas, despite being led by Republicans seeking to ban the procedure. But residents of those states will nevertheless be unable to obtain abortion pills from Walgreens."
The senior director of external operations explains there's some complexity around the situation in Kansas and elsewhere.
Here's what is not complex: #FuckWalgreens

✂️ Lookee here! ONE additional reason to say #FuckWalgreens! https://youtube.com/shorts/V7MijlzkAis?feature=share
'The nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain confirmed Thursday that it will not dispense abortion pills in several states where they remain legal — acting out of an abundance of caution amid a shifting policy landscape, threats from state officials and pressure from anti-abortion activists."
And Kansas? This is why we don't vote for people who promise to ban abortion. They don't care that you said abortion should be legal.
Oh, and #FuckTwitter.
