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

Transit leaders Wednesday celebrated the staving off of fare hikes on the system next year. The CTA has not raised fares in years, and its initial budget proposal last month proposed a 25-cent-per-ride price increase.
No service cuts, no layoffs and no fare increases: CTA board approves rosy-looking 2026 budget
An influx of about $142 million in revenue derived from the state’s mass transit funding bill will prevent any cuts and allow for some modest improvements at the agency.

What I suspect is going on here is Pritzker not wanting to risk an open confrontation with his police force which could result in them defying his orders to stop abusing protesters. And I guess I get why he wouldn't comment to that effect.

Didn't think they could make Instagram any more annoying to use, but I finally got the new layout in the app. I actively resent that it's the only place I stay in touch with a lot of people

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:

1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people

2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

They are still abducting people in Logan, including a worker from Reno like 20 mins ago. If you live in the area, maybe take a nice long walk with your whistle for lunch?

1. There is no evidence that Venezuela produces fentanyl.
2. The UN drug office says it is not a cocaine-producing country.
3. Most illegal drugs come here in container ships, not small boats with outboard motors.
4. The admin has produced no evidence to justify these extra-judicial killings.
