Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.

I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Note to any Navy Lieutenants, Lieutenant Commanders & Commanders flying off the USS Gerald Ford: If you push the button to launch the missile at the fishing boat, you may well be criminally liable, not matter what this OLC tells you. It's certainly morally wrong. You're safe to refuse the order+
“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

I will never cross a picket line.
The workers at Starbucks are demanding to be treated fairly, and I proudly stand in solidarity with them. I definitely won’t be spending money at a place that refuses to address unfair labor practices.
No contract, no coffee.
