This is what back to school looks like in a country where the #1 cause of death for kids are GUNS.

ALL pro-choice Americans need to boycott Walgreens! I know team Musk will scuttle this tweet, as they have been doing most of my tweets, but I will say it ANYWAY. Corporations that side with hate, misogyny, and against women’s autonomy can go to hell. We have options.
