CVS is having customers download and use an app to open their locked cabinets for “convenience.” If CVS wanted customers to actually have convenience they would not lock the cabinets in the first place.

All they are doing is taking your precious data. Don’t do it.

CVS is piloting a new feature in their app to cut down on the time it takes shoppers to get help.

Happy Valentine's Day. Just a reminder that we love you, and capital does not. #CommunismOfLove
A background of red hearts behind a quote from Richard Gilman-Opalsky's The Communism of Love: "It is time to fully realize that love—if love means anything at all—is antithetical to the logic of capital" A background of candy hearts behind a quote from Richard Gilman-Opalsky's The Communism of Love: "Contrary to the bourgeois notion of romantic utopia, love is a field of conflict, a force of disturbance."

A string of pink and red hearts above a quote from Richard Gilman-Opalsky's The Communism of Love: "We do not seek only being-together but also active forms of being-against... We do not want to be islands. We are also always abolitionists."

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Let’s celebrate by dedicating ourselves to each other and collective liberation 💘💘

My new op-ed is in @truthout.org today. Check it out here: truthout.org/articles/thi...
Screenshot of article title and subtitle. It reads: This Valentine's Day, Let's Ditch Romance Myths and Seek Collective Liberation In this frightening time, let's dedicate ourselves to true love and liberation, caring for each other and the world. By Dean Spade, TRUTHOUT February 14, 2025 Screenshot of the text of the article: Amind a pressing acceleration of harm and violence (ecological crisis, wealth concentration, immigration enforcement, criminalization, attacks on queer and trans people and reproductive care, genocidal and imperialist warfare) our resistance movements are often disorganized by the romance myth. People tend to wreak havoc on lovers, groups and communities when caught up in romance myth scripts and reactions. Our groups implode because we don't know how to stick together when we are overcome by the Screenshot of the text of the article: We often pretend it doesn't matter how we treat each other as long as we get the deliverables out: meals distributed, banners dropped, court cases filed, actions planned. Yet as feminists have always maintained, the personal is political, and the "women's work" of attending to relationships is vital. Many brilliant organizers (or former organizers) who identify as "burnt out" aren't tired simply from the hard work of collective action but from unresolved conflict with other Screenshot of the text of the article: My assessment, 25 years into resistance work, is that right now all it takes is one strongly emotionally activated person to disorganize almost any group. A string of smaller unresolved conflicts precede the moment of blowup and break down. The romance cycle is present in our groups just as in sexual relationships and friendships. We often project at the start that this person or group is going to meet deep unmet needs, that we've found "the one," and we selectively ignore signals that

Flu is at a record high, RSV, Noro, and yes still Covid are running rampant. There are pneumonia and TB outbreaks. Everyone seems to be miserably sick right now. Genuinely asking: is there ever a point where people will decide that masking is less inconvenient than constant illness?

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl
