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.

Great reporting and a knockout final line:
“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

At MPR now: Across the Twin Cities, ICE agents and activists are playing a high stakes cat-and-mouse game. The goal is to make ICE agents' jobs as difficult as possible, and protect their immigrant neighbors.

Worrying with friends about whether it’s safe to take the kids trick or treating tonight because we are afraid of the US government
A person I interviewed for this story told me her 8th grader recently read Night by Elie Wiesel in school and observed “it’s sort of like what’s happening here right now” in case you’re wondering how things are going for Chicago’s kids.
