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

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids

I love the little free pantry library things, but please remember that canned foods are hard for a lot of people for a lot of reasons, and if you are going to stock cans, stick to ones with pop tabs.
Please remember the varied needs of the real people experiencing food insecurity.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Absolutely ridiculous.

No strings. No list. My kids just need your vote. They’re playing a team of notoriously racist teenagers and adults and I’m hoping we can get them enough votes to win some money for their program.

Read @mrneibauer.bsky.social’s blog post first thing this morning and I’m blown away (and I shed a tear!)
I’m so grateful for Adrian and Mr. Rowe (read the blog!) and all of the teachers who raise the bar. Our children deserve it.
