Starbucks baristas picketing at the Buffalo, NY store where it all began for Starbucks Workers United.
A good reminder: When you’re fighting a corporate oligarchy, worker solidarity is the only path to a fair economy.
Very thankful for unions today! ✊

NEW from me: the Trump administration is moving new chemicals that have some link to data centers to the front of the line for approvals — creating huge loopholes to push all kinds of chemicals through, experts tell me, under potential political pressure
The Trump Administration’s Data Center Push Could Open the Door for New Forever Chemicals
The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals—with limited oversight.

ICE today deployed its agents in Charlotte. The decision follows years of retaliation from federal authorities and North Carolina Republicans—ever since voters elected a sheriff who opposed assisting ICE in 2018.

The Dems have discovered a wide, sore, festering wound in the MAGA coalition that they could rub salt vigorously into and divide them. Knowing Dems, they almost certainly won’t do this, but they COULD and it would be extremely effective.
Trump's fight with Laura Ingraham over H1-B should be read in this context. MAGA remains fully committed to removing all undocumented and provisionally present immigrants as a demographic reengineering project. This gives Dems a way to split the MAGA coalition.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*
