These holidays are hitting them in their ‘hearts’ worried about people eating and traveling with loved ones? But they forfeit the short game having no clear tactics to leverage a longer drive.

Not sure about y’all but I don’t need turkey and christmas presents more than I need healthcare.

Is there a justification for AI video to remove the Orange Julius from every movie he’s ever been in?

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 6d

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract

Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

As the executioner’s blade falls, do we rush to add our hand to axe? Do we say, the head will sever anyway, so I am not to blame?

Wherefore is our justice if we are unable to place our own body to prevent the cleave? Can I feel my own blood pumping though it drains from the veins of my kin?

Oh. Wow. That’s…something. Thanks for the clarity.

This is weird. Are they reading with some kind of “I wish this had been my childhood” and adultifying their own youth? Are they feeling quesy about being aroused by youthful sensuality? Do they realize there are indeed already shelves full of adult romantasy?

I’m confused.

Like the British immigrant is the right kind? And scheduled in another venue on another date like thst has anything to do with Bad Bunny handling business at halftime?!

Once again demonstrating that it’s not about citizenship. Sting has a fugging song about being an alien in NY!
