On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

All the tender plants are inside, the heat strips are turned on to protect the pipes from freezing...I think I'm as ready as I can be for the predicted freeze tonight 🤞🏻It is still so lovely outside right now!

Happy Frizzly Caturday, Friends!
An orange and white cat walks gingerly on a wet deck, their tail puffed up and curled like a question mark. The wet autumnal woods can be seen in the background.

Unions matter. Especially NOW.
sbworkersunited.org Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 6d
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
