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

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.

They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

It feels like everyone is going through a tough time right now. Give someone a smile today. Gather your strength, reach out, and punch a Nazi in the face.

In America, the next few weeks, and likely months, will result in a nonstop attack on the solidarity of Muslims and Jews. The goal will be to break us apart and make our existences feel zero sum.

We won't fall for this. It is nothing but an attempt to divide and control us.
