What do Big Tech, Crypto, & FinTech all have in common? They spent millions on the election & are seeing their enforcement actions "magically" disappear. Amazon, Google, Meta, & OpenAI are just some of the corporations that have had investigations into their potential wrongdoing dropped or halted.

antifascist Anton Kalakin, who was sentenced to 6yrs in prison for "justifying terrorism" for 2 anti-war comments on social media, had been placed on a watchlist as ‘an individual prone to terrorist activity’. we used to be shocked by Russian regime yet inevitably we in USA face similar charges

Years ago I scored an original @occupywallstnyc.bsky.social poster and had it hanging in my closet as a daily inspiration to go out and fight. For reasons, bad ones, it got destroyed during a major life change. Now, I have reclaimed it. Not an OG poster but a good print using the OG Ad Busters photo

Frogs are cool. Freeing people from ICE detention is even cooler.

Middle East analyst & Georgetown University scholar Khaled Elgindy says the short- to medium-term prognosis in Gaza is “very very grim.” He warns the Strip is “likely to see a low-level insurgency, with continued Israeli restrictions on aid, and no reconstruction.” The outcome, he says, carries...

Philly is turning OUT today! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🔥 Starbucks hasn't given us a proposal in almost a YEAR. They know we need fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Starbucks can’t ignore us any longer. And this is just the beginning! #NoContractNoCoffee

Black Americans are overrepresented among federal workers and were particularly burdened by furloughs and diminished services. capitalbnews.org/government-s...

VERY interesting tidbit in the Epstein emails It appears that NYMag was working on some kind of story that involved him in 2015, and the fact-checker asked some VERY specific Qs about Epstein's connections to Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger — grandfather of the NYT's current owner MAKES YA WONDER!!!!

It has been nearly a year since Starbucks has offered us a single proposal to finish the remainder of our union contracts. The company knows where we stand: we need fair wages, better scheduling, and an end to union-busting. Instead, Starbucks is fighting US, their workers.

Baristas are saying it plain: #NoContractNoCoffee SEIU stands shoulder to shoulder with Starbucks workers demanding respect, fair wages, a real contract, and an end to union-busting. Sign the pledge: www.nocontractnocoffee.org#pledge

"Employees are striking because we want Starbucks to live up to the values it markets to the world. Starbucks claims it offers the “best job in retail.” As someone doing one of those jobs day in and day out, I can tell you that's not true." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Do. Not. Cross. Picket. Lines.

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

Bargaining started in April 2024 with more than 150 baristas in the room. They reached 33 tentative agreements on noneconomic issues. But under CEO Brian Niccol, Starbucks reversed course and refused to negotiate on wages, hours, or staffing.

Third demand: address hundreds of unresolved unfair labor practice charges. Judges and the NLRB have repeatedly found that Starbucks violated labor law. Workers have filed dozens of new complaints since the new CEO took over.

Second demand: higher take-home pay. Thousands of Starbucks partners rely on SNAP and Medicaid because their wages and hours are too low to cover basics like rent, groceries, and healthcare.

Workers’ first demand: enough hours to qualify for the benefits Starbucks advertises. Many baristas cannot get the 20 hours needed for health insurance. That includes parents caring for kids with chronic health needs.

In September, @sbworkersunited.org President Lynne Fox explained the stakes. Starbucks is a global giant, but it is not too big to fail. And right now, it is on the ropes. inthesetimes.com/article/star...

Starbucks workers across the country are on strike today. The reason is simple: after promising to bargain in good faith, Starbucks has stalled, stonewalled, and refused to negotiate a fair contract with union baristas. inthesetimes.com/article/star...

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
