Starbucks Workers United

@sbworkersunited.org

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

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

More Perfect Union

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social

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.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

Screenshot of a tweet from Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) on Twitter. The tweet reads:

“CONFIRMED: Spoke to at least 6 NYPD officers and they told me that many of the rank and file have already started to put their early retirement papers in and are actively looking for departments in North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. All thanks to Zohran Mamdani getting elected..”

Below the tweet are three images in a collage:

1. Zohran Mamdani smiling and looking to the side on a city street, wearing a dark blazer and white shirt.

2. An NYPD SUV parked at an intersection in Times Square with people walking nearby.

3. A group of NYPD officers standing in uniform indoors, hands folded in front.

[ #dnd OC ] Naj'all in his Drider form, cursed by Lolth herself and condemned to guard the Demonweb Pits 🕸

This was such a delight to roleplay! One of the best dnd games of my entire life 🥹

Sort of Character Sheet of my original dungeons and dragons (2024) character, Naj'all Armgo, from house Barrison Del'Armgo. At the end of our game "The Wounds Once Made", he was punished by Lolth with the most dreadful of curses for a drow, to be turned into a Drider. Naj'all is a tall drow elf man, with long disheveled white hair, red eyes with black scleras and an ugly scar on his face. His jaw splits into two separate parts. His torso is attached to the bodyof a black-purplish spider with 8 spiky legs. In the top left of the image a portrait of his face, scowling at the viewer with an impassive expression. In the top right there are two Sava pieces he himself cut from onix stones. The Mother has toppled the Warrior. In the corner, a broken brooch from his former house from Menzoberranzan, Barrison Del'Armgo.

We lost our car, shows an image of a car. help us not lose our lives, shows an image of a walker. A Black trans AuDHD person with multiple disabilities & crowdfunder of 6 lost their car after impacted in a hit-and-run October fifteenth. They have NO income -- this loss is a huge issue. Without a car, they are more vulnerable to viral exposures, unable to seek healthcare the hospital advised them to seek, or thrift shop for clothes they lack. They’re severely unprepared for winter, relying on rideshares and deliveries that are far more expensive! This is while they live without even the most basic needs met, malnourished, and owing bills that are below a thousand dollars for the first time in over a year. Please help them survive winter, stockup, & get a used car while preparing for inspection that determines lease renewal! cash and ven are memwho. paypal is xomemereytwod
