As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is also the irony, unremarked upon by Peters, that Mamdani's speech about the unfinished project of democracy is deeply rooted in American political rhetoric, and from figures as ideologically diverse as MLK and Ronald Reagan. It is Vance's blood and soil nationalism that is a departure./5

Though Israel and its allies have derided Palestinian resistance groups for holding hostages in Gaza, Israel itself is holding thousands of Palestinian hostages, both dead and alive, in its own prisons.
At least 250 Palestinian bodies have not been returned to their families.

<p>The <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/trump" target="_blank">Trump</a> administration's ambassador to <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/turkey" target="_blank">Turkey</a> and special envoy to Syria, who dismissed peace as "an illusion" and described borders as the "currency of a negotiation", has made headlines recently for his blunt remarks on Israel’s wars and Washington’s close alignment with them.</p>
<p>Just weeks earlier, he said: "In Israel's mind, these lines that were created by Sykes-Picot are meaningless," adding that the Israelis "will go where they want, when they want, and do what they want to protect... their borders".</p>
<p>Strip the provocation from the phrasing, and what remains is a blunt assessment: since 7 October 2023, the Zionist regime has pursued a hegemonic strategy beyond the old colonial cartography.</p>
<p>Since late 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu, an <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/icc-judges-reject-israel-request-withdraw-netanyahu-arrest-warrant" target="_blank">indicted</a> war criminal serving as Israel's prime minister, has formalised a "day-after" doctrine that conditions the end of his genocidal war in Gaza on total Israeli domination. That war has been escalated into successive campaigns across the region, in an attempt to annihilate all its enemies and redraw maps for a new Middle East.</p>
