Y'all keep boycotting Starbucks! I hope y'all never stopped. Fuck Starbucks! More power to the workers! More power to the unions!

Starbucks union authorizes open-ended strike as busy holiday season begins Starbucks union baristas have voted to authorize an open-ended strike.

▶️Starbucks union baristas have voted to authorize an open-ended strike.
▶️The strike would disrupt Red Cup Day, one of the company’s biggest sales days of the year, and potentially the broader holiday season.
▶️Workers United began organizing Starbucks locations in 2021.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's pay in 2024 = $95.8 MILLION
Median Starbucks barista pay in 2024 = $14,674.
That's $1000 LESS than US poverty level, 2025.

We don't have a Starbucks closer than 30 mins away here in rural Maine, I won't buy from them anyway, and fully support a Starbucks Strike.

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people.

Thank goodness.

This lying weasel spews crap out of both sides of his mouth says he's working for the people but he's been on a six week paid vacation & refuses to go back to work 👉🏼WTF?
He assumes people are stupid because you have to be stupid to believe his manufactured crap!💩🥴

On this day in 2004, the band played Madison Square Garden in New York City. ‘It’s the End of the World as We Know It’ opened an R.E.M. show for the first time, a reaction to George W. Bush’s presidential victory.

Complete disaster for VAGOP

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Mamdani victory speech
He’s killing it 💥💥💥

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts

"Nearly every time he appears before cameras to sell the GOP’s lies, he manages to unintentionally tell the truth. These admissions have advertised the fact the regime is intent on using the shutdown to torment vulnerable Americans."

Excuse me for being blunt, but I’m so god damned fucking proud of Democrats today. Let’s save this fucking country. 💙👊

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

Stay safe out there & have a great day, Beautiful Souls! 😁🥰

This is brilliant

Also, only 8%? It should be like 30.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

Memories of the past are strewn like shards of glass, sometimes, lost in the mist, a distant blur, yet alive. You walk through them, picking them up one by one, weaving them into stories, and that's all that remains.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."
