Union busting is disgusting.
These workers deserve a fair contract — Starbucks needs to work in good faith to make it happen.
Meanwhile, workers are calling for all of us to boycott Starbucks during the strike. Don’t cross the picket line!

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.

The 2% Rate Cap Bill that Rep. Francesca Hong and I just introduced will cap monthly utility payments at 2% of income — for every household in Wisconsin. Period.
As it is phased in, this becomes a universal, automatic protection. No hoops. No humiliation. No one having to beg for relief. (1/2)

We are so excited to propose a 2% cap on utility bills for households in Wisconsin who need it most. This directly confronts the affordability crisis in Wisconsin, providing direct relief for those struggling with spiraling energy costs.

But ten months in, our communities are facing a deeper food apartheid: a sudden lack healthcare access, and a federal governmental shut down due to his Administration's cruel indifference. (1/6)

It's a well-established, uncontroversial fact amongst *actual researchers of violent extremism* that the vast majority of that violence is done by white supremacist and far-right actors in the United States.
This is a cover up, and a lie. Another of many.
