Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

When I was asked to bring the macaroni and cheese to Thanksgiving, I knew I had been given the highest honor bestowed by the elders. Now, every year I humbly wear my crown as I grate my cheese and I never, ever get “creative”.

Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today.
The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

People will cling to the familiar even if it is killing them. If one doesn't understand this basic fact, then you will be so confounded on multiple levels.

So here is the thing about teenagers: they are children playing at adulthood. That cognitive dissonance is hard for a lot of ppl & doesn’t mesh w a society based on reducing everyone to a consumer demo. Our job as adults, tho, is to provide them w the safety & support networks they need 1/5

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Intercountry #Adoptees are among many who are now asked to live in fear because of this corrupt, broken, global system of family separation and human commerce, as well as failures by our members of Congress to secure them secured legal rights that are owed by the country that brought them here. 🥚
US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

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.

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.
