November and December typically account for 20%+ of an indie bookshop’s annual sales.

Our support is needed to help them keep the lights on in the new year. Shop small this holiday season & beyond, so your indie can support your community in 2026 & beyond.

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting.

Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

No contract? NO COFFEE!

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

Solidarity with Starbucks workers! Starbucks makes BILLIONS every year.

The very least the company owes its workers is good faith negotiations for a fair contract and to END their illegal union-busting.

Everyone should be able to organize at work!

Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels.

Lina Khan, the former head of the FTC, will now co-chair Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition team.

Her understanding of corporate power and how to combat it, which she examines in the video below, make her a perfect fit. Watch.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Sharing this again. It's from four years ago, and censorship continues to rear its ugly head. Thank you, Meg, for stating this so well.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.

Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.

Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world.

It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

A trip to the indie bookshop or local library (or supporting them online) instead of placing an order through a mega-retailer.

Heading to a local coffee shop instead of an international chain.

Joining an indie's book club, fostering IRL connections.

Asking a librarian instead of relying on AI.
