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

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Starbucks workers strike starts Thursday! Brian Niccol makes 6,666 times what a barista does
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

This is literally not true
Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

idk, I lived in a town 1/100 the size of NYC in Montana that had free buses.
Also, the Left totally gets the limits of Mamdani's platform and the context of his victory. No one thinks a candidate in, say, rural Iowa can run on free buses. What is replicable is the focus on affordability as well as finding candidates who believe what they say. Chait is not some truth teller.

with the laser focus on climate change, in my experience some of the biggest internal barriers to effective energy sector advocacy were precisely those long time volunteers, who were skeptical of clean energy development and often privileged local or aesthetic concerns over systemic thinking

"Nullification and the Myth of American Federalism from Calhoun to Pelosi"
Nancy Pelosi suggested on Wednesday that local police could arrest federal agents if they break California law while conducting immigration raids that are expected this week in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Pelosi Says Police May Arrest Federal Agents Who Violate California Law
The San Francisco district attorney said in an interview that she came up with the strategy after seeing federal agents repeatedly roughing up people in Los Angeles and Chicago.

my thing about prison is it’s very, very hard for me to think of what a person could have done that’s evil enough to justify never letting them see the sun unsupervised again

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

do we really need to be analyzing the tattoos of the guys who are arresting people for the crime of being chinese to figure out if they're racist?
Speaking of tattoos, this ICE officer has an interesting one on his hand.
Part of some Norse paganism practices, rune circles are not always an indication the person is a Nazi, but they are sometimes part of crypto-Nazi symbology.
