Let’s be clear: using AI to secretly raise grocery prices on some shoppers is unethical. Food isn’t a luxury, and families shouldn’t be treated like test subjects for profit-maximizing algorithms.

Without ACA tax credit extensions, millions will pay hundreds more monthly for health insurance or lose coverage. This isn’t an abstract policy debate. It’s parents skipping doctor visits, prescriptions going unfilled, and families forced to choose between healthcare and rent.

This holiday season, remember Republican House Speaker Johnson's suggestion that extending Obamacare subsidies ISN'T that important because it will only benefit 24 MILLION Americans. But Johnson & Congressional Republicans worked around the clock to pass legislation to ONLY benefit 924 BILLIONAIRES!

Day THIRTY-NINE of our national ULP strike - and baristas are fired up, united, and taking action. Our demands are clear: Starbucks needs to stop union busting and finalize a contract with the pay, hours, and protections we need to succeed. #NoContractNoCoffee

No contract, no coffee. Starbucks workers are still on strike.

Without an extension of ACA tax credits, insurance costs are set to skyrocket for millions of Americans. This is the sad reality for working people when Congress doesn’t act.

More than 36 days into the national ULP strike, Starbucks baristas are still holding the line. They’re in this for the long haul and won’t stop until Starbucks ends union busting and settles a fair contract. “Hello” to the striking baristas in Ashburn, VA! ✊🏽☕️

Was an honor to play a few tunes for striking @sbworkersunited.org workers at the #Starbucks in Newton this morning. No contract, no coffee!

We took our ULP strike to Starbucks HQ in Seattle and plan to stay until Starbucks stops union busting & brings new proposals to the table. Yesterday @jayapal.house.gov picketed with us. Today the cops told baristas they’ve been asked to clear the camp by tomorrow. Watch this space!

Billionaires’ wealth rose 18% this year to nearly $6.9 trillion, while 73% of workers can only afford essentials. That gap tells you exactly how this economy is working AND who it’s working for.

Health experts are warning that rejecting ACA tax credit extensions will have a devastating impact on health coverage affordability. Working families are already stretched thin, and raising healthcare costs will only make things harder. Working families deserve better!

Mike Johnson sent Congress home until January 5 without extending the ACA premium tax credits. That means millions are about to see their health insurance costs spike overnight. No vote. No fix. No excuse. When your premiums skyrocket, remember who walked away.

Calling a 1% raise “help” while food prices are up 2.6%, energy costs are up 4.1%, and groceries are 30% higher than five years ago is insulting. Federal workers deserve real pay increases, not crumbs. seiu.co/4scCOQC

Santa says Starbucks gift cards are a NO, NO, NO! Baristas are striking because Starbucks refuses to remedy 100s of unfair labor practices and negotiate a fair contract. Stand with workers by skipping Starbucks gift cards. #NoContractNoCoffee solidaritywithbaristas.org

Attention Seattle allies - we're not done yet! 📍Meet us at Starbucks HQ tomorrow at 12pm PST for a picket and speakout, featuring Rep. @jayapal.house.gov, striking baristas, and Girard Montejo-Thompson of Seattle Education Association. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/seiuorganizi...

3⃣7⃣ days on national ULP strike. We're in this for the long haul and are ready to keep fighting until Starbucks stops union busting and settles a fair contract 💪 PS: Say good morning to our striking baristas in Ashburn, VA!

There is always something deeply sinister about a CEO who refuses to pay the workers who make their profits a living wage. #NoContractNoCoffee

Starbucks wants our holiday spirit, but won't give baristas a contract and won’t stop trying to bust our union. ☕️ Baristas make Starbucks run, and today we’re showing them exactly what happens when workers stand together. No more excuses. No more delays. #NoContractNoCoffee

Baristas are striking at Starbucks headquarters after months of being ignored at the bargaining table. While CEO Brian Niccol has made millions, workers are still fighting for fair pay, fair hours, and dignity on the job. Corporate greed created this fight, but solidarity is how we will win it.

"IF WE DON’T GET IT SHUT IT DOWN!" Baristas make Starbucks run, and today we’re showing them exactly what happens when workers stand together. No more excuses. No more delays. #NoContractNoCoffee

Power is won, not given. SBWU baristas are disrupting the status quo because Starbucks has disrupted their lives for too long with unpredictable schedules, poverty wages, and union-busting. Ahead of the holiday rush, we all have one message for Brian Niccol: Negotiate NOW. #NoContractNoCoffee

1 in 5 child care workers is an immigrant. When harsh immigration policies put them at risk, families everywhere feel it. Parents can’t go to work when child care disappears. Together, #WeMakeAmericaWork https://seiu.co/4pL9jUf

BREAKING: SBWU baristas have set up a #CampContract! If Starbucks won't listen at the bargaining table or on the picket line, we’ll be pretty hard to ignore on their front steps! #NoContractNoCoffee

We joined SBWU baristas at Seattle HQ to tell CEO Brian Niccol: NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE! ☕🚫 Baristas have been fighting for a contract since 2021 while their CEO makes 6,666x the avg Starbucks barista. SEIU 925 stands in solidarity with our union siblings during their ongoing ULP strike!

Baristas & allies are in front of Starbucks HQ, demanding CEO Brian Niccol come out and sign our pledge. It's time for Starbucks to present us with reasonable contract proposals, and it's time to resolve the 100s of outstanding unfair labor practices. Let's finish this already! #NoContractNoCoffee

Quick PSA: Republicans made tax breaks for billionaires permanent. Permanent! And they exploded the national debt by Trillions to do it. But saving healthcare for a few years? Republicans say that's too expensive. Nonsensical. Disgraceful. Contemptible.

🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work. Brian makes 6,666 times the average Starbucks worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500! The visuals write themselves...

Despite the weather, crowds continue to grow as we get ready to hear from Starbucks baristas on ULP strike. Let's go! #NoContractNoCoffee

. @teamsters.bsky.social bringing the big wheels to Starbucks HQ 🔥 Solidarity in action, baby! #NoContractNoCoffee

HAPPENING NOW: 100s of striking Starbucks workers and community allies are gathering in front of Starbucks's headquarters in Seattle. If the company continues to ignore our calls for fair contracts and resolving unfair labor practices, we'll keep getting louder! #NoContractNoCoffee

@bookersquared.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask members of Congress: why don’t they fix the health care affordability crisis? Here's what they had to say. #justfixit

Starbucks baristas are 35 days into their national ULP strike, and they' re only getting louder. Starbucks must stop union busting and settle a fair union contract now. No contract. No coffee. ✊🏽☕️ #NoContractNoCoffee

Wages have grown, but affordability hasn’t. New data shows inflation and rising costs are still outpacing what workers take home, leaving families feeling stuck despite “economic growth.” If one job doesn’t cover the basics, the system isn’t working for workers. https://seiu.co/49gCbh8

Healthcare shouldn’t be a partisan game. 4 Republicans joined Democrats to push a 3-year extension of ACA tax credits — coverage 45 million people rely on. Now Congress needs to finish the job. seiu.co/3YEoylL

JUST IN: Unemployment has climbed to a four-year high, and job growth is slowing. Meanwhile, costs keep rising and workers are being asked to do more with less. These numbers are a warning sign, and working people feel it first. https://seiu.co/4aeIV06

The Senate has rejected extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help millions afford health insurance. Without action premiums are expected to rise sharply next year & make coverage unaffordable for many families. Working people shouldn’t have to struggle just to get the care they need.

Another cruel attempt to harass immigrant workers, including those who care for our veterans and veterans themselves. We should expand healthcare for veterans, not push out skilled workers because of immigration status. Congress must hold the VA accountable.

Billionaires are a policy failure. Billionaires are a policy failure. Billionaires are a policy failure. Billionaires are a policy failure. Billionaires are a policy failure. Pass it on.

From stores to distribution centers, workers are holding the line. Solidarity with striking baristas coast to coast. ✊ #NoContractNoCoffee

"Our prayers are with those recovering from injuries and those mourning the loss of loved ones in both Providence and Sydney. Let’s light a candle to chase away the hate and darkness that can seem like it’s all around us." - @rweingarten.bsky.social

We are heartbroken for the students, staff & community at Brown University, and are thinking of those who were hurt and killed tonight. We are in touch with our locals at the university & encourage people to listen to local law enforcement for more info. Please stay safe. #EndGunViolence

You can be successful without being a billionaire. But you can’t be a billionaire without exploiting people and our planet. That’s why we say billionaires shouldn’t be allowed.

Meanwhile, 2,900 billionaires hold 4x the wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, which is over 4 billion people.

There is no such thing as a "low skill" job. Only a low wage job.

ICYMI: The House passed a bill restoring union rights to nearly 1 million federal workers. This is what solidarity in action looks like. The Senate must act now to pass this bill and stand with workers.

Price manipulation isn’t innovation. It’s exploitation and workers are the ones paying for it.

Starbucks workers and unions in 10 countries are taking action in solidarity with US baristas on a national ULP strike. This is what global solidarity looks like — workers standing together across borders, fighting for dignity, fair pay, and a real contract. 🤝 https://seiu.co/48PR1K6

The richest 0.001% own 3X more wealth than half of humanity. That’s 56,000 people holding more than $4 billion combined. The richest 10% own 75% of global wealth. The bottom 50%? Just 2%. This isn’t inequality — it’s engineered injustice. We must, and we can, TAX THE RICH.

The term “unskilled worker” was invented to make it seem normal that people working 40+ hours a week are still living paycheck to paycheck. It’s not normal AND it’s not acceptable.
