As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

if they wanted to make a difference, MLB would keep the pitch props, but, instead of the money being deposited in the sportsbook, the money would immediately be sent to a family member, and would initiate an immediate phone call to 1-800-Gambler

"Mallmann has always been an evangelist for the magnificence of vegetables (his most recent cookbook is “Green Fire”), and so the list of entrées includes an entire head of cauliflower, which tastes like an entire head of cauliflower." lol
It feels inelegant to say you should read my latest review because it’s very negative. You should read my latest review because it’s insane. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
La Boca Is All Smoke, No Fire
The Argentinean chef Francis Mallmann is notorious for his love of cooking over open flames. With his New York début, he fizzles out.

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Anyway, I think Dems are right to believe subsidy expiration, because many Americans will suffer and maybe die, is going to hurt Republicans in the midterms. A less harmful way to do well in elections, though, is to offer voters a compelling vision for why they should vote, affirmatively, for you.

But what do you think about current Dem leadership and are you calling for a change after this massive failure? That's power you have right now.
We should be asking this and related questions of all Senate Dems. Stay tuned for more tomorrow.

Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)
