Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms.

Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

If they’re mad than these people are doing their job!! Thank you @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov
your hard-earned tax dollars are paying for a White House social media account that calls duty elected senators "demented losers."

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Thugs. And we're paying for them.
In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

If you're happy the 20 Israeli hostages are home (as I am) but silent on the 10,000 Palestinian hostages still languishing in Israeli prisons without charge or due process of law—then you'll have to stop pretending its hostage taking you were ever upset about.
