This is just a reminder that when given only two choices, trust a Black woman or don't, one should definitely trust a Black woman.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

It’s not hard for to take an action that will side with workers over billionaires today. Stand with @sbworkersunited.org don’t go to Starbucks (not even the one in your grocery store AND especially not at Target) & don’t buy Starbucks branded products. #NoContractNoCoffee at Starbucks.
Solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social , who sanctioned our strike nationwide and won't be delivering food, picking up trash, or bringing packages across picket lines! ✊🔥

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

Alice Wong sending us love and wisdom from the other side is a thing I needed today. May she rest in power.

This is so cute! And the POTUS thinks it’s an IQ test that proves he’s a super genius.
53 years ago this month, Sesame Street debuted the iconic "I Can Remember. "

You ready?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

We need to get a lot more comfortable bluntly and loudly asking people who are anti-SNAP why they want children to starve.

Spoiler alert: Gavin’s going to run. He’s been running. Running is his reason for breathing. Roadrunners are less likely to be running in 2028 than him. He’s running so much he’s runny & his name is River Nose Broken Toilet.

Not sure how I missed the story of Clarence Thomas’s racist clerk. Also not sure there’s anyone who dislikes and disrespects Black people as much as him. I’m starting to think Get Out was a fictionalized version of his true autobiography. www.newyorker.com/news/daily-c...
The Scandal of Clarence Thomas’s New Clerk
Crystal Clanton became notorious for sending outlandishly racist texts. Now she’s been hired to work for the Justice—and a dubious new story has surfaced to clear her name.

Remember when we had mask mandates to try to stop Covid spread & rightwing folks, including many 👮 👮 claimed it wasn’t safe to inhale your breath and they could not do strenuous tasks wearing masks? How is it they can wear masks to “patrol” and “arrest” (i.e.?terrorize people) right now? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I keep listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates on the Ezra Klein show trying to figure out how he stayed so calm. At the 20 minute mark EK is so condescending I would have had to take a break & do some deep breathing to avoid saying “fuck you.” Ta-Nehisi and I are the same age but he’s growner than me.

I'm a sociologist opposed to fascism. I hate racism. I love my community’s diversity of religion, language, gender expression, and the fact people from all over the planet live here. I pay attention & fight for justice. I AM A WOKE, PRO-DEI, ANTI-FASCIST, CRITICAL RACE THEORIST & BLACK AMERICAN.

Imagine being a nearly 80 year old brat throwing a tantrum because you didn’t get a 🏅 and getting all your little friends to yell about how it’s soooooo unfair. I’d literally be humiliated if my teenager was behaving like this. Makes me wish for the bad old Bush Jr. days.
