Fuck you Bannon. My grandfather was in the bomb group that “12 o’clock high“ was written about. He took this picture over Normandy Beach. You are no Captain Russell Grantham. My grandfather had more bravery in one hair follicle than you have in your entire existence. You piece of shit.

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

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I spoke with MSNBC's Ali Velshi about the fact that the SNAP cutoff is Trump's deliberate attempt to reshape government priorities while millions lose access to food assistance. All the while, Trump and his cronies celebrate with a Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago.

It’s never been easier to be a conspiracy theorist
A mix of technology and politics has given an unprecedented boost to once-fringe ideas—but they are pretty much the same fantasies that have been spreading for hundreds of years.

As of today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is holding a double-digit lead over disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo in most polling around the race to become NYC’s mayor. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Mamdani credited the power of in-person community for bringing young people into his campaign.
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”
