November is Gratitude Month. Show some gratitude for what you have by paying it forward. Do you have to make a big donation to make a difference? HECK NO!! $5 makes a difference! Take that money you aren't spending at Starbucks, because you are supporting the strike, and donate!
If someone can close this out, I will 100% shave off my large beard & have a cold face during the atmospheric river here in L.A.
My retirement plan is to be a Santa someday, & the fire made my beard turn WAY more white than I anticipated, so you’d be helping me start again twice! gofund.me/314ba7e61

While your Texas university is out here prohibiting people from talking about race...mine is naming buildings after an anti-lynching suffragette and Ms. Ella, our campus "mom" in the dining hall. Not some big $$$ donors.

I don't know if this may help anyone else out...but to make the Thanksgiving grocery bill a little less painful, we are splitting it up a bit. We are going to add the non perishable things we need, canned goods, etc, to this weeks grocery order. Then we'll do the fresh stuff we need closer.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

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

Another reason to call your Senator if they’re one of the useless ones. The bill to open the government kills the THC industry.
NEW: Buried in 141-page text of the latest draft text of the Senate's ag appropriations bill is a restriction on hemp-derived THC products w/ >0.4mg per container—an effective ban on the existing market. Would go into effect 1yr from passage: www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
