Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE.

Here’s how to use them:

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.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
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

Chicago is giving the US “a stellar example of how to fight back against these xenophobic pogroms,” said one organizer.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Just move to Israel already @schumer.senate.gov

He clearly cares far more about supporting genocide than representing the American people.
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Most commentators, including me, concluded that the Tuesday election victory saved Democrats from capitulating to Republican demands to pass a simple continuing resolution to re-open the government, i...

BlueSky challenge: Divest your city from corporations complicit in human rights abuses.
NEW: St. Louis, MO has just passed a resolution to divest from corporations complicit in human rights abuses (including occupation, apartheid, genocide, or racism) within the city and abroad.

Becomes the biggest city in the US to pass such a resolution, according to organizers.

I’m increasingly grateful I only had to worry about perverts and viruses as a chronically online teenager.
I don’t know if I would have survived with chatbots that validate irrational thoughts and suicidal ideation.
OpenAI is well aware of how its products stoke manic, suicidal, psychotic, and other forms of unhealthy behavior, but company leadership insists publicly that the problem with the tech is that it isn’t reaching *enough* people. Bulldozing the vulnerable is corporate strategy

Fuck ICE
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

The DNC should be putting its time and energy into serving vulnerable communities that are being harmed by the Republican shutdown. @kenmartin.bsky.social and @democrats.org could run pop-up food banks in every state to connect with and help Americans that are being purposely harmed.

Our families and neighbors are being starved because Republicans will only represent billionaires and pedophiles.

Empathy is a foreign concept to Vought. We care about each other because we have hearts, and he can’t defund that.
Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:
We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

I hope the neighbor kids play with their loudest, most obnoxious toys in front of his house.
Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."

“He takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize people—then he calls himself a Christian,” a neighbor told @isabelaalhadeff. “Pretty despicable.”
