They are standing and kneeling in front of a large spacecraft covered in shiny silver and gold thermal material, mounted on a vertical support structure. Some team members wear masks, and the background shows technical equipment and cleanroom walls.

Yesterday, striking baristas took action at Starbucks’ biggest distribution center that serves the entire east coast.

Today, union stores in 25+ MORE cities are joining our national, open-ended ULP strike!

Our union isn’t slowing down… in fact, we’re just getting started. #NoContractNoCoffee $SBUX

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
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.
A tweet from “MeidasTouch” reads: “Casually extorting the American taxpayer out of tens of millions of dollars on live television.” Below is a tweet from “Acyn” quoting Graham saying his phone records were seized and he plans to sue; when asked “For how much?” he replies, “Tens of millions of dollars.” The image shows Graham speaking on the show Hannity.

Just a reminder to all Americans:

Documents created by, and in possession of, government agencies, belong to the citizens of the United States.

We paid for them to be produced.

They’re ours.

Never forget that.

There are (rightfully) several of these challenges going on — and likely more we don’t yet know of — and I hope to be able to spend some time on this issue soon, but this is a notable win that I’m glad to see getting coverage.

New conspiracy theory just dropped:

What if peer review, committee meetings, strategic plans, promotion & tenure processes, and letter-writing requests are all part of a secret plot to keep smart, creative, active minds from thinking and writing the big ideas that would *really* change the world?

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.
