Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION.

The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year.

Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes.

That's why Starbucks workers are striking today.

I won't cross the picket line.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Fight don’t fold.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Any chance we get more adventures from the Lock In world? It's such a compelling place and the characters are a joy.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

BREAKING:

NBC News projects: Prop 50 Congressional Redistricting has been approved.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Fuck it. I'm gonna let myself feel hopeful, only if for a night. It's been a long year.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

A former coworker told me they do something similar in their part of Iowa, assigning different days to different neighborhoods, and I was gobsmacked.

"Guilty! But you're free to go" is actually a Trump policy.

The absolute cognitive dissonance in listening to Djo's wonderful "The Crux" while doomscrolling...

We elect people to represent our best interests, and they are not doing that. I don't think that's expecting to be patted on the head. It's expecting them to do the bare minimum to get us out of this mess, and they're failing at it. It's human to look for better, but also makes it easier to miss.

Trust me, I'd be more than happy if we didn't feel like "right-coded everyman with left values" wasn't the only playbook we're trying to follow.

Think it just reflects dem/left-leaning normal people's desperation for *anyone* to speak to them like an actual human and come off like they give a shit, instead of sending harshly worded letters while still voting for Trump's nominees. We're begging for fighters.

Trump posting a video of himself literally shitting on America is pretty spot on to be honest

One-man roadside protest let's gooooooo

No taxation without representation.

California needs to create an escrow account to hold federal taxes before they are passed on, and if the administration tries to take away legally appropriated funds, we pull from the escrow account.

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Big tech CEOs have spent more than a decade puffing their chests and saying that they are more like heads of state running global companies with bigger revenues than many countries

… but now they’re all folding to actual government pressure faster than any tinpot dictator has ever folded

Short courses >>>>>>>>

Yeah they've got a like a staff falconer there, it's kinda rad.

Happiness is a huge factor, but think our modern choice overwhelm drives some of it, too. Like, do I want to have everything in the world at my fingertips to stream, or the simplicity of a drive-in double feature? Sometimes the easy button makes you feel better when the rest of the world is on fire.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.
