Thu, Feb 1, 2024

Squad-member Ayanna Pressley left millions of Americans scratching their heads this week when she called the closure of Walgreens Pharmacies due to violent crime “acts of racial discrimination.”

They are disruptive, life-threatening acts of racial & economic discrimination.

As a multi-billion-dollar corporation, they must stop divesting from Black & brown communities. pic.twitter.com/iSvhFWw8Bl
