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

We seriously have Republicans talking about going back to the “good old days” of high-risk pools, which just meant that people with preexisting conditions like cancer couldn’t get health insurance.
Tom Emmer: "You're gonna have to create high risk pools again. Just go back where Minnesota was before the ACA."

I can't wait for y'all to read this one. I got to talk to Jamal Hinton and his "Thanksgiving grandma" Wanda Dench, who are celebrating their 10th Thanksgiving together this year. They represent the best of us -- what a joy to hear about their story.
1 Accidental Text and 10 Years Later, Wanda and Jamal Are Still Spending Thanksgiving Together

The “elections are the way we hold people accountable” canard has been a pretty effective shield for an immense amount of corruption over so many generations.

She's finally been sworn in.
But the 50 days in limbo won't be forgotten:
“For Speaker Johnson to be so dismissive of 813,000 people in southern Arizona is not acceptable,” Grijalva says. “And it really highlights how corrupt this system can be under a certain kind of leader.”

This person thinks the existence of women who betray women--as Ghislaine Maxwell did for Epstein--is some sort of gotcha: as if male solidarity can only be real or important if it is undisturbed by the complicity of women.

Will the Epstein files be spun as titillating revelations or recognized as evidence that misogyny & mass sexual exploitation of women are POLITICAL, linking antidemocratic politics globally?
Depends whether men with big platforms decide to connect the dots. Women have been screaming into the void.

Donald Trump also understands the power of "bros before hoes" to bind men of diverse backgrounds together: he explicitly & repeatedly used it to build his coalition & donor base.
That's why "Access Hollywood" didn't hurt him in 2016 & why he picked up MORE votes from men after his rape conviction.

Jeffrey Epstein understood the concept of "bros before hoes" & how it structures societies virtually everywhere, worldwide.
He didn't have to work too hard to collect a grp of men--diverse in race, religion, nationality & profession--who would tacitly accept his misogyny or join in enacting it.

Feminist scholars have been saying for at least 200yrs that the world runs on systemic exploitation & oppression of women.
But that's always made a marginal concern, never impt enough for left or center parties to take up as a political issue. "Wait your turn, gals, we've got other things to do."
