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

Where can I get a Duckens Nazon jersey?
Paraphrased: there are Haitians with nothing in their pockets. We can make them cry with joy. At a minimum. They are counting on our feet.

Haití es uno de los países más pobres del mundo. Su selección ha hecho historia y se acaba de clasificar para el Mundial. Esto dijo el futbolista Duckens Nazon: "Hay gente que no tiene nada en los bolsillos. Solo cuentan con nosotros y hoy podemos hacerles llorar de alegría".

In October alone, my office helped return nearly $800,000 to Massachusetts workers.
We’re fighting to make sure that companies follow our labor laws and that every worker gets the wages they’re owed.

I only follow The Guardian on here but skeets about Dirty Donald are overwhelming my feed. I am not feeling it. I am an OG Brooklynite and we told y'all. Now we gotta hear about pedophiles 24/7 for TEN-FIFTEEN YEARS. I've been over it.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

I need to hear French people pronounce Ghislaine like yesterday. I damn well know it's not Ghee-lane and hearing Americans pronounce it Ghee-lane is like nails on chalkboard. I have not been mispronouncing my sister's name all of my life.

I thought the neighbor that has some kind of seasonal affective disorder would let us sleep. Nope. Their family blocked her car and she's out there right now blowing on the horn. Been at it for hours. Hope no one calls the police.

Yikes. (What happens when you another trial before the same judge?)
Government annoys the judge by leaving much of his definition of forcibly out of its slide on rebuttal: “It has, like, 10 more words. Usually we try to, you know, tell the jury all of the words.” Now prosecutor is arguing physical harm isn’t required, only reasonable apprehension thereof.

No one has said this yet but Schumer, Jeffries and Democratic Party Inc. can't embrace Mamdani like y'all want. Mamdani and the other newbies are DSA and WFP. DSA and WPF are equivalent to the Tea Party Movement for the Democratic Party. If they're under the big tent, the Ds go the way of the GOP.

Any insight on why Mamdani chose a venue in Brooklyn as his election night HQ? I just assumed they would have chosen a venue in Queens.
