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

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Where’s the restroom? Minneapolis needs more answers
Businesses can’t take on the entire burden. The city must invest in a network of free, accessible and well-maintained public restrooms.

this analysis is strange in that it doesnt answer the fundamental question about Minneapolis voters - if Frey's multiple lies and polarizing ways were truly against their values and they were tired of it, why did they not choose Davis? www.startribune.com/jacob-frey-r...
Roper: Jacob Frey can thank the far left for handing him another term
Frey was a vulnerable incumbent. But progressives banked on the wrong guy to beat him.

This was such a community effort, and it makes me really happy to know I was supported by so many people. Here is a “heat map” of where my first place votes came from. I’ll let the people like @wedge.live and @taylordahlin.com and @dansuitor.bsky.social do analysis.

I don’t want to memory-hole Betsy Hodges’ 2013 win. It definitely wasn’t DSA but it was last successful center-left alliance. Folks should re-read this September Racket piece, where she describes the alliance but — I know this will chafe — the need to appeal to SW. racketmn.com/minneapolis-...
![Hodges: The average call on the Hodges campaign in 2013 was nine minutes long. That is outrageously long. And we had tens of thousands of those conversations. That's what my campaign was, all based on this message [of belonging and racial equity]. And the activist left was a huge part of that. They brought volunteers, they brought resources, people doorknocked, they did all the
stuff. And then we won.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreiffduqnf3ewgipwnug5atnki6ftecgsazqo2hhwiqicxf67dw64de@jpeg)
![Hodges: I think the lesson that the old guard learned from 2013 was they needed to be more organized, they needed to have a stronger message-they generally choose the message of fear-and that they needed to pour a lot of money into the mayor's race in order to win. Those were the lessons they learned, and that
has been their gameplan ever since, in 2017, in 2021, and, I assume, in 2025. I think the conclusion [the activist left] drew was, "We have cracked the code. We know how to win citywide. If we come together and we organize in this way, we're the ones who did it. Betsy Hodges won because of us." And it is true that they were necessary, but they were not sufficient. Because what I brought to the table was years and years and years of loving and building relationships with and leading white people in southwest Minneapolis in a way that meant they would follow me. In Minneapolis, if you do not have a message and if you do not have a relationship with the white voters of southwest Minneapolis, you just don't win
citywide.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreida3opuibehgn2pymfwazeg5bsj5uy7whppsqrjr5fsgy7rcy3gfm@jpeg)

This year’s Ward 10 was maybe the most Yard Signs Don’t Vote election I’ve ever seen
Does money win elections? Not in Ward 10. Chughtai won at a cost of $9.75 per vote.
Meanwhile Millard spent just over $42 per vote to lose heartily. (That’s looking like more per vote than Cuomo, who’s probably under $40!)

We love Jason Garcia, but Colby appeared to be using the "there was only one set of footprints because Elizabeth Shaffer was carrying my lifeless body the whole time" strategy.
even after not being able to campaign the last couple months up against a candidate endorsed by elizabeth shaffer and michael rainville. this is is hugely impressive. jono cowgill, the last progressive to hold the seat before elizabeth shaffer, doubted they could pull it off against those forces
On the bright side: JASON GARCIA IS GONNA WIN DISTRICT 4 PARK BOARD.
