Imagine you’re president of the most powerful nation and you use your political capital to… push for Rush Hour 4 instead of feeding kids/funding schools/improving the lives of veterans.

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

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....
Trump & Republicans have control of the White House & Congress, but still can't pass a budget & refuse to negotiate.
Our paychecks, healthcare, & schools are NOT bargaining chips. Congress needs to stop the games & do their jobs.
Tell your rep: REJECT the #TrumpShutdown.
