@ValerieSonh @thebarbarismofpureculture Merely reporting second hand: #Walgreens has been getting fucked over, and the reason is #BankoBrown Here's another report:
"Protected by the Frisco fog, we hit another 3 Walgreens locations as humble acts of vengeance for Banko Brown, paying homage to the spirit reanimated through our collective refusal to let him be erased." https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/04/18858758.php
1/🧵 #BankoBrown #Walgreens @indybay got a few things upped to their wire not seen elsewhere, and I'll share a bit of it here with links @ValerieSonh @thebarbarismofpureculture
Banko Brown was murdered by a Walgreens security guard 2 months ago and there has been no Justice. All the locks on several Walgreens store have recently been glued shut and their windows decorated. One of several reports. https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/01/18858698.php
#Kroger will pay $1.2 billion in a settlement over the chain's role in the opioid epidemic, joining major distributors like #Walmart, #Walgreens and #CVS.
In April, #CarterCountyOK commissioners approved joining the settlement with the other big chains.

@ianmnoone @Footle @ibwatson My local #Walgreens now has *toothpaste* in the "ask for help to buy this item" cases. But it's also so understaffed that there's never anyone but the single cashier to ask.
I'm not saying that #shoplifting is a moral imperative but lol yes I am saying exactly that.
Tens of Thousands of Mothers Sue Makers of #Tylenol for #Pregnancy Use that Led to Babies Born with #Autism - defendants in the lawsuit are #CVSHealth, #RiteAid Corp, #Safeway Inc, #Target Corp and #Walgreens Boots Alliance, which are being charged with failing to warn consumers about the risks of Tylenol. https://healthimpactnews.com/2023/tens-of-thousands-of-mothers-sue-makers-of-tylenol-for-pregnancy-use-that-led-to-babies-born-with-autism/

CDC, pharmacies try to speed up Covid vaccine program for the uninsured
Biden health officials are attempting to finalize contracts that would allow pharmacies to offer a Covid jab to uninsured Americans as early as mid-September, when the government plans to make an updated version of the life-saving vaccine available to the broader public.

Let's disabuse ourselves of the notion that San Francisco is one bit more "progressive" that any given little town in Kansas.
How often do people get shot to death for allegedly stealing a candy bar anywhere else in the world?
The #Walgreens security guard will not be prosecuted, just like the killer police officers who the new DA will not touch.
They had a progressive DA, but #SanFransicso can't walk the walk to match their talk, so they recalled him.

Heads up for anyone who has #trans #kids (or likely anyone receiving #GenderAffirmingCare or who cares about those who do)
#walgreens corporate has sent out a hard shutoff on providing gender affirming care to minors in Tennessee “as a precaution.” I’m unclear if this will only be for states where there’s a ban in place, or if they’re getting out of the trans care game entirely. So to any affected or looking to make a statement, time to start looking for a new pharmacy.

Hey #Walgreens! THIS is bullshit! Just know that I'd rather shop at home on #Amazon than EITHER be greeted with this horrific experience OR wait for one of the few floor staff to come and help me!

@indybay This must not be shelved. If California won't do this, we must ring Merrick Garland's bell. No drugstore anywhere is allowed to shoot people dead on the suspicion of stealing a candy bar.
#Walgreens Murder
I’ve reached the stage of life where the passage of time is marked by monthly trips to refill #prescriptions at #walgreens
People Continue to Take to the Streets of San Francisco for Banko Brown

Report back on recent march in San Francisco protesting the murder of Banko Brown by Walgreens security. A Black trans man born and raised in Frisco, Banko Brown, was dispossessed by the rapaciousness of the city's real estate machine and its ruling elite.

The #USPS is a federal #government agency explicitly authorized by the #Constitution with a #monopoly on letter delivery.
It receives nearly 40 percent of its revenue from online purchases and delivering #JunkMail from private retailers like #Walmart, #Staples, #OfficeDepot, #Walgreens, #SamsClub, #Costco, and grocery stores.
It lost over $9 billion in 2020.
And it runs giant ads in daily #email notifications about incoming #mail for its in-house promotional #podcast.

Guess I'm going to have to switch pharmacies AGAIN. I got tired of #Walgreens poor service years ago and moved to #Brookshires Pharmacy. Now they've sold their in-store pharmacies to Walgreen's. WTF?? 🤬
@hannu_ikonen It's okay for the #walgreens security guard in #SanFrancisco to murder a customer over a candy bar, after assaulting and beating him on video.
That happened and we've normalized it. Wow they really know how to prioritize crimes in #SanFrancisco The same that voted in Pelosi permanently.
@ne1for23 What about bthe #Walgreens murder?
It is okay to shoot a man over a CANDY BAR in #SanFancisco because the murderer is a Walgreens security guard.
You shouldn't be shopping at #Walgreens unless you like supporting every far right candidate on ballots across the country.
