BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Thinking about how when a neo-nazi hacked Colombia and released Zohran Mamdani's application the NYT covered it as a major scandal sourced from "Colombia" and yet they were seemingly regularly receiving offers of incriminating evidence on Trump and refusing to publish it.

The problem wasn't that universities were indifferent to antisemitism, but that they allowed trustees, advocacy groups, demagogues, etc to pressure them into treating as "antisemitism" all kinds of political expression and advocacy that was entirely legitimate.

Are the Greens...on to something? These people seem quite worried.
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.
Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.
And every day we are growing.

'Let tonight be the last time I mention his name'. May we all triumph thus over our enemies.
Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:
"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."

It’s not really alleviated the ‘pressure’ on non white people though tbh
Some people were expecting (hoping) that the stabbing on the train would be an excuse to blame asylum seekers & immigrants for violent crime. They sought an excuse to build hatred and set us against people who have come here for refuge.
Foiled because the suspects have been arrested and are British.

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.
