Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract

*** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY***

Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

Shift Change at the Wheel Reinvention Factory Even David Brooks is welcome in our movement.

"[David Brooks] engages in self-reflection the same way that a newscaster on live TV picks his nose: quickly, leaving no evidence that it ever happened." -@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social, from the top rope!

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

YouTube video by Breaking Points Krystal ENDS Cory Booker's Career

Cory Booker is as trustworthy as a watery fart after an atomic level vindaloo.

DC 33 is a majority Black union whose members have been underpaid and undervalued for the utterly essential work they do for way too long. This strike won’t be pretty, but they deserve to win, and I hope to see all of Philadelphia rally around them!

1. What explains the paralysis that seems to have overcome us, as we watch the most powerful nation of Earth spiralling towards fascist dictatorship? Well, a large part of it, I feel, is the surreal, astonishing uselessness of the Democratic Party. 🧵

Primary Every Democrat...

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.
