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

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

If there really is a end to the shutdown forthcoming, we have to look at what else was snuck in or what the quid pro quo really was. trumf will spin it that he saved the holiday season & put food on your table, making like he is the American family's savior when he jeopardized us in the first place.
So trumf deploys National Guard in US Cities, shuts the government & cuts SNAP. Now soldiers aren't paid & are told to go to a food pantry but food pantries are overrun with people who depended on SNAP.
How is this not slavery? It's a human rights violation.
Ask yourself what's REALLY happening. 🤨

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done.

We cannot let “haunted ICE agent regretfully explores his feelings/past/guilt” become a genre the way we did with every bad actor since the Confederates.
This is why they were in downtown Chicago today.

Nuremberg Trials are the moderate stance

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
