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

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

This is an unintentional admission the author is Severely Too Online, and despite having written two books is unfamiliar with the concept of buying used books (other than as a new trend somehow indicating vanity?!) or of reading books in public spaces— again, a new trend that’s due to social media 🤦🏻♂️

It’s incredibly telling that NYT thinks it’s important to cross the Ts and be able to say “… which Ms Rachel denies” rather than simply stating as a fact that the charge is made up, by the same people who made up a different false accusation last week and will have a new false accusation next week.

There was a hero in court, yesterday They tried, unsuccessfully to make him sub-human, but failed. One would think they'd lettuce alone, but no. He ended up being a roll model. The guy mustard up the courage to defend himself and that's something to chew on..

So am I just going to be receiving at least 3-5 spam voicemails a day claiming that my (nonexistent) loan is almost ready but they need a few details, for the rest of my life?
Or will the scam just run its course at some point?
After all, I haven't gotten emails from any Nigerian princes lately.
