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

"[F]ew things have felt more surreal than watching, three times a day, dozens of men racing across the compound to the chow hall because not all of them are going to get to eat."

Not All Prisoners Get Fed Daily. Here, It Depends on How Fast You Can Run.
Each time the gates open, out runs the first wave—at least 20 or 30 people flat-out sprinting as fast as they can.

In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it.
Which of those professions, though, do you reflexively associate more with lying?
You're not immune to copaganda.
