Wow. This is an absolutely terrifying read. We now live in an age when a single company can, through what appears to be plain old bureaucracy, can more or less brick your entire digital life.

Big day to amplify @sbworkersunited.org and not buy Starbucks
BREAKING: 12 strikers were just arrested by the NYPD while peacefully protesting outside the Empire State Building.

Allies are beginning to speak to the crowd about what just happened.
Today, baristas are bringing their ULP strike to Starbucks' NYC corporate office, housed inside the Empire State Building.

Workers and allies are demanding the company resolve 100s of unfair labor practices, end the union-busting, & finalize fair union contracts. Let's go! #NoContractNoCoffee

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike!

We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

RT if you're with us ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

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

Yeah, seriously. Joy is resistance. We have to find the joy wherever we can right now, and lecturing people who have found some brief relief from this hellscape about how bad they are is a real dick move.

When they aren't hurting anyone, just shut up and let people enjoy things. Don't be a dick.
I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

These are NOT isolated issues.

We’re sounding the alarm to customers, and demanding Starbucks finalize fair contracts with us to address these constant problems in our stores!
