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 put info about pre-registering to vote in today's slideshow for class. Most of my juniors weren't aware that you can pre-register in California if you're 16 or 17, so I gave them the link and instructions. I hope they do it! (You better believe that flag was a gif and waving!)

Did you know that we allow child marriage in the US? We do, in 34 states, and four or five children are being married every day on average. I once met a Floridian married at 11 to her rapist. And California has no minimum age at all for marriage: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50
California folks, for the love of all the gods and goddesses you revere, MAIL IN YOUR PROP 50 BALLOT TODAY. It's really easy: there's only one question! I recommend you vote YES on 50, then mail the ballot in, no postage required. #yeson50

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.
The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

“The boat strikes constitute murder,” Eugene R. Fidell told me. He used to be a JAG in the Coast Guard and is now at Yale Law School. The entire operation amounts to “treating the world as a free-fire zone,” he said.

If you’re still not sure whether the United States is at risk of sliding into authoritarianism, talk to some Americans who know all about the proper and improper uses of violence. They are the men and women who are or were in the military’s so-called Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
