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.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

This is going to be especially fun in the wake of Mamdani’s victory last night…come through and talk about what might be possible with a socialist mayor in the largest city in America!
This Wednesday, I'm excited to join Daniel Wortel-London @redemmas.org to talk about his important book "The Menace of Prosperity"—a sweeping history of NYC's urban political economy, and a powerful case that "we cannot afford to finance progressive policies through taxes on a regressive economy."
