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

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Yeah you can sum up the failures of the best parts of the American experiment as white people disenfranchising white people because they're imagining Black people

Yes it harms the rest of us too, but just by population numbers antisocial policy obviously harms way more white people than anyone else
"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

By my count, the Blue Jays led for 27 innings, the Dodgers for 19, and 28 innings were tied.

She’s lying. One hundred seventy citizens (that we know of) have been arrested. Again, she’s lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

My son received WIC benefits for the first 3 years of his life. Programs like SNAP, WIC, free school lunch, and SunBucks help protect our most vulnerable members of society, and what’s happening to SNAP is just one more unconscionable injustice in a long line of Trump’s unconscionable injustices.

Hour 9 (of 84) as a solo dad.

(Granted, for the first five hours, he was in school.)

Saw this today and loved it. A story of a short writer in his 40s who fears his career is over, whose talent is outweighed by his own ego and ambition, who drinks too much and falls in love with anyone who pays him a compliment… THIS MOVIE WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR ME!

In America, young white men who make mistakes are “just kids”, but boys of color — I’m talking about *literal* kids — are almost always treated (and tried) as adults.

Here’s my voter guide this year. Ready?… Yes on 50.
They’re gaming the midterms by erasing districts like Jasmine Crockett’s and silencing Black and Brown voices.

California, you can stop them.
Vote YES on Prop 50❕
