Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

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

Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.

Stefanik's NY governor announcement is straight from the Trump School of Belligerent Capital-Letter Nicknames. Even after last week's GOP drubbing, she's treating Trump as a winning role model. What can she be thinking? It's a mystery. Or maybe not. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...

#urbanhellhole DC neighbors help a friend in need. She returned their loaf pan by leaving it at their doorstep. Horrible city. Bad people.
