Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are on strike at corporate stores across the country, fighting for a fair contract and to stop Starbucks’ union-busting.

America’s unions stand in solidarity with Starbucks baristas nationwide! #NoContractNoCoffee

I’ve been wondering this.
To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Trigger warning: contains #Science. Just as the overwhelming majority of climate scientists recognize $ClimateChange, potentially catastrophic, is man-made, there are NO credible scientists or docs who don't see the GOP's destruction of the CDC any other way. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

About the #Rot that’s afflicting #Journalism in our times, or its tattered remnants. Kudos and admiration for the many who still hold to professionalism and ethics! www.thehandbasket.co/p/moral-rot-...
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Epstein’s journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Walter Cronkite and Edward R Murrow are sure spinning in their graves. Very sad, the elimination and abandonment of journalistic ethics and professionalism by @cbsnews.com, among others.
The Bari Weiss Newsmaxification of @CBSNews is a sight to behold, and marg brennan seems content to go right along with it

Just say no to Union Busting.
I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Huh. So all these dudes* voted for Trump’s nazi-adjacent GOP not because of the racism, but despite it.

[* Dude is gender-neutral here in Portland]
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.
