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

Utah judge picks plaintiffs’ congressional map over one favored by GOP lawmakers
In an opinion that came down late Monday night, “the Court finds that Map C [the Legislature’s map] was drawn with the purpose to favor Republicans,” wrote Judge Dianna Gibson.

Ever since President Trump took office, Congressional Democrats have done one thing: obstruct.

Magleby - somehow, Trende's maps don't have partisan bias. that suggests screening out maps that have partisan bias - maps that will pass the partisan symmetry test.

BINGO.

Utah Republicans are attacking the credibility of a witness brought by Democrats after having used state money to hire a conservative activist who works for a conservative news/polling firm. Complete double standard.
Rep. Roberts questions the optics of this. Sen. Escamilla claps back that Dr. Trende has his own issues of bias.
"We are supposed to work as a legislature in a nonpartisan way for this process," she says.

Hilarious to see Utah Republicans read old tweets and cry about bias when confronted with a loss in the realm of the courts. These folks have the thinnest skin imaginable and will do anything to stack the deck in their favor and hold onto power.
Rep. Owens now hints the maps the legislature has proposed are illegal.

Rep. Owens apologizes, but says they have a "suspicion." Chair Sandall is fuming.

Oof. The Dems need to stop pretending, based on some imaginary focus group, that there’s some common ground with Trump. The key is to fight everywhere.
You should go study Neville Chamberlain’s attempt at “common ground.” It didn’t end well for his historical reputation. Or the world.

They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

It's unfortunate that Utah's "urban/rural" representatives won't stand up and speak out to protect our public lands from unfettered development. Fire management is important, but there are better tools at our disposal than this blunt object.
