Boycott Starbucks folks!

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting.

Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—

I hope midterms are a referendum

Bush "I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything..." - Barack Obama "Quiet! Quiet Piggy!" - Donald Trump

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files.

Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years.

He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together.

His attacks won't change any of that.

The White House is frustrated about being backed into a corner on the Epstein vote. They plan to punish Democrats for it.

let's hear what dan ryan has to say, i'm sure it's very well thought out

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

#consumerprotection #orpol
AG Rayfield announces $7 million settlement with largest U.S. landlord over price fixing scheme AG Rayfield and a bipartisan coalition have filed a proposed $7 million settlement to resolve claims against Greystar Management Services LLC, as part of the coalition’s ongoing enforcement efforts targeting price fixing involving housing rental prices across the country. “We’re in the middle of a housing crisis, and families are already stretched to their limits. When the largest landlord in America uses an algorithm to price fix the rent, the result is simple: people pay more. It squeezes working families when the cost of housing is already at an all-time high. This settlement holds the largest U.S. landlord accountable. It’s a win for Oregonians, our pocketbooks, and the rule of law.”

He’s held to zero standards, and yet he’s the highest officeholder in the land.
A tweet from “Sophia A. Nelson @IAmSophiaNelson” says: “No executive. No college president. No c-suite leader. No industry leader could ever talk like this. Ever. And still hold his job.” Below is a tweet from “That Gay Guy Candle Co.” reading: “Female reporter pushes Trump on the release of the Epstein files. His response? ‘Quiet, piggy.’” The image shows a man standing in what appears to be an airplane aisle next to a screen displaying the presidential seal.

Trump didn’t need a discharge petition to release the MLK Jr., JFK, or Earhart files.

So why are the Epstein files the one set he refuses to touch?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
