I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

This is perhaps the most Monday of a Monday I've had in awhile.

If you thought women ruined the workplace, wait until you see what us enbies are doing. Flex hours, pay equality, plants on the desk, diverse hires, accessible desk spaces ... Real "9 to 5" shit, just like Dolly Parton taught us.

Hey that's my mayor(-elect)! So glad I knocked doors for him!!
Zohran Mamdani says that New York City stands with Starbucks employees!
He points out their CEO made 96 billion last year.
That’s 6,666 times the median Starbucks worker salary.
Boycott Starbucks. Support the workers. Demand they receive a living wage.

A lesson from Mamdani's election, that is not an only-in-NYC thing:
People are hungry for ideas and ideals, and will follow leaders who provide them, whether or not those leaders have party backing. And when the party shits on them, they will be mad as hell and knock a million doors.
Just saying.

Hopefully this is correct and what's happening now is desperate Republican rumors. However!! It never ever hurts to tell your senators how you feel!!
Anyway Schumer's NYC office won't let you leave voicemail outside regular hours (wtf) but his DC office will. In case you were wondering.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

an arc where the former governor of NY loses increasingly inconsequential elections until the series finale is him trying to run for senior class president at a local high school and getting his ass kicked by some 17 year olds.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

This client slacked me champagne bottle emojis at 11:00 last night 😂
I know there are plenty of non-NYers who resent having to hear about NY elections so much, but on the other hand, a client in Oklahoma just messaged me about how he's rooting for us today. Ahhhh how am I supposed to be a functional person on election day, we just don't know.
