Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
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

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Soft secession

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

The SNAP doubling at farmer's markets is a huge help. It's not new.

This article really breaks it down, including the side-effect of people spendin gmoney on food to avoud starvation at the expense of other needs like diapers.

There are charities trying to help, and most of them are swamped.
SNAP participants can double their spending at their local farmers market or farm stands through a national initiative known as the Double Up Bucks food program. The policy council gives each customer wooden tokens, and if they spend $40, they will receive an additional $40 to spend.

If Trump's USDA says it will pay SNAP in full starting today while the court case is on appeal, than Trump's USDA could always pay SNAP in full, from the start.
