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.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Something I think needs to be better understood: corporations & billionaires often spend more trying to defeat progressives than it would cost them in the proposed increased taxes if those people won.
It’s never just about the money. It’s about no longer being the sole beneficiaries of society.

Zohran Mamdani is the new Mayor of New York City!
The people chose change.
They voted in record numbers and proved that all the money in the world isn’t a substitute for class.
They want progressive policies that benefit everyone.
They want affordability.
They want a compassionate leader.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.
A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.
