Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.

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
