Three workers pose in front of a Starbucks store, holding their union vote certification

Did you know that Pittsburgh has one of the highest densities of union Starbucks stores in the country?

CONGRATULATIONS to baristas at the Banksville Plaza store - they just won the 21st union Starbucks in Pittsburgh! ✊🔥

Stop following illegal orders and so forth

This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.

She had every reason to be this enraged after fighting for an open hearing.

The US has no industrial capacity to produce the munitions needed to fight a large scale conflict in Iran. If this spirals into a protracted conflict, the US will not be able to sustain a bombing campaign. It must put troops on the ground. They have no plan for this.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

On Bill Barr, from my latest Q & A. Iran-Contra never really ended. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/epstein-an...

It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.

DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org ddosecrets.org/article/ice-...

Dr. Kruger still sits on the board of Sollis Health; the company should answer the question of whether or not he still profits from Sollis

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Yes. Yes it is now known as #SollisHealth

Um, is this what is now known as Sollis Health?

Congrats we’re getting the color-coded daily threat levels again

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Remember, Trump tried to make a deal with the IRGC during his speech (total immunity!) while breaking a deal with Iran

I’m sure they won’t notice

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials — a last-ditch effort to avoid war.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran.

How many times can someone accuse the president of criminality without calling for his removal?

To be fair, there's no way anyone could have known that US-led regime change in Iran might not make things better

a new war in the Middle East, run from the criminal president’s Florida resort, sponsored by Polymarket and brought to you by the thoughtfulness and maturity of r/pol

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

Has anyone done a good piece on how insane it is to be conducting these sorts of operations from Mar-a-Lago? They also launched the Venezuela coup from there and I cant imagine the business center conference room is an appropriate substitute for the WH Situation Room i.e. security

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Just called @repbradsherman.bsky.social @adamschiff.com offices to demand impeachment and removal. @padilla.senate.gov office phone is trash, per usual

I don't know about you, but if my daughter was killed alongside 84 others by American bombs, I imagine myself and those other parents would be more than tempted by anti-American extremism.

This is how you create terrorists.

I guess it’s another #5calls morning
