Unionized Starbucks workers across the country are on strike over the corporation's failure to engage in collective bargaining talks.

Starbucks' record of union-busting is unlike anything I've ever seen. That's why I've been boycotting.

Putin's army of disinformation agents is toppling one democracy after another, since Brexit.

In Europe they can see what's going on. Meanwhile in America we keep ignoring the hostile takeover by Russia and voluntarily hand over control of the US government and military to a Russian asset.

The rest of the world is fighting back fascism and fighting it back hard. Why? Because they see what's happening here. They see what can happen when the uneducated and ignorant feel powerful by voting in the same rich people that keep them poor.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.

Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.

Abortion ban is bad enough but hiding mortality rates is repulsive, repulsive and vile.

I’ve seen this post circulating a lot but there is no sourcing whatsoever. What is the basis to conclude that Ernst is “leaning toward caving and confirming” Hegseth?
BREAKING: Joni Ernst having multiple meetings with Pete Hegseth, appears to be leaning toward caving and confirming him.

I’ve been using your service for about 2 years. It takes my seizure meds from $4,800 every 3 months with Good RX to $140 every 3 months.
It’s let us afford my husband’s medicine, which isn’t on your service (yet). Others at my neuro have also started using your service.
