Behind every Starbucks drink are baristas who are struggling. While workers are striking nationwide, support us and DON'T BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location ✊💚 #NoContractNoCoffee

The nation’s freight railroads are going to be able to try relying more on technology and inspect their tracks less often after the federal government approved their waiver request on Friday.

My weird, niche obsession is fonts—so when the White House's website redesign dropped, I was curious to know if the artist agreed with what their design was being used for. www.jezebel.com/type-artist-...

They all are truly the dumbest, trashiest, griftiest bunch of losers.

I suggest zero people should go to national parks on June 14.

The mighty @taddoyle.bsky.social is releasing new music tomorrow. 🎸🖤

Stop waiting for the regime to be stopped by the regime’s court. It’s not going to happen.

Hey #iHeartRadio, stop running advertising spots for the fascists.

Amber Alert

BREAKING: 12 strikers were just arrested by the NYPD while peacefully protesting outside the Empire State Building. Allies are beginning to speak to the crowd about what just happened.

It’s my one day off in two weeks, so of course I woke up with a raging head cold.

“Crisis pregnancy centers” don’t provide care, medical or otherwise. They are toxic propaganda distributors and religious zealots that prey on vulnerable women and have no regard for life after birth.

“Nothing’s more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” Fred Hampton was shot to death when he was 21 years old, by Hoover’s FBI and Chicago police, while he was asleep in his bed.

New from us Since the beginning of the year, the government has been accelerating its war on the American left, targeting dissent with loose terminology and reaching for legislative and executive tools created at the turn of the century with the War on Terror. unicornriot.ninja/2025/the-war...

Someday, the bonfire of all of Trump’s merch will be glorious.

“Amid the war, the rubble, and the harsh life imposed on the Gaza Strip, young people like Al-Madhoun have turned to the things that remind them of their humanity, and that they were made to be creative, not to die.”

On this day in 1970, Cesar Chavez was sentenced to an indefinite jail term for his work boycotting lettuce produced by farms that had used coercive tactics against the United Farm Workers.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Y’all. Seriously. This is the shit we have to deal with. TN IS NOT MONOLITHICALLY RED, OUR MAP JUST DELIBERATELY FUCKS US

What I know of Minneapolis, they’re going to protect their Somali neighbors, friends, family, coworkers.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Amber Alert!

too many people are complacent when in fact what we need is to be active in preserving and EXPANDING public goods. folks need to wake up.

Vote Bendel for U.S. Senate!! Let's do this!! :)

I think along these lines every day. They all need to go, forcibly and to The Hague, at the very least.

Whenever ICE kidnaps a child an Amber alert should be immediately issued!

Hold the line, @sbworkersunited.org ! Proud of you. 💙

I’m having conversations in my community daily about the lack of affordability in absolutely everything and the brutal job market that has had folks searching for a job for months and for some, years. Folks are struggling hard.

Hi Bluesky, Giving Tuesday is almost here, and I’m asking y'all for extra support tomorrow. As most of you know, Prison Journalism Project trains and publishes the work of incarcerated writers so their stories can be heard. We are aiming to raise $50,000 before the end of the year

We recognize World AIDS Day in the United States. We send our voices up for those we’ve lost and for the work for a cure. worldaidsday.org

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

No duh.

I hope 77 million Americans feel like they are making a real statement with the Child Rapist they consigned for.

Northwestern joins the growing list of US universities which are caving to Trump by agreeing to illegally ban trans people from facilities. Banning trans people from bathrooms is illegal in Illinois, as affirmed by law and a court ruling. www.illinoislegalaid.org/legal-inform...

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

Looking forward to celebrating Buy Nothing Friday.

These are organic onions in Oregon that were bagged after digging, to allow the mud to dry. They are then dumped back out into rows for a machine to collect — the dirt falls off easily once dry.

These workers are harvesting celery. They use a curved blade to cut and trim the bunches. It is often packaged right in the field by another crew of workers.

Fresh herbs (whether sold fresh or processed by drying) are delicate. They are often hand harvested, like this parsley in Ventura County, CA.

Green beans are durable enough to be largely harvested by machines and then sorted and cleaned for quality by hand. The specialty varieties are more likely to be harvested by hand in a process similar to the work in this video. (Video shows snap peas from Salinas, CA.)

This Monterey Mushroom facility has a strong union contract. The good union wages and benefits make for low overturn, which makes for extremely skilled workers like this.

Workers here are cutting the tough pumpkin vines. Other workers will then collect and sort the pumpkins by size. Pumpkin (like okra and cucumber) has tiny hairs on the vines that can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.

There are two methods for cranberry harvest- wet method and dry method. Pictured is the ‘wet harvest’ method where the cranberry bog is flooded and the plants are shaken to dislodge the submerged berries, which float. (Fun fact: in a flooded bog the workers become high ground for the spiders.)

Yum tamales! This worker is hand weeding organic corn. Organic produce can be labor intensive because no pesticides are used to control weeds.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

The BBC is lost.

This could give Trump his opening to go for the Insurrection Act and Martial Law. He's desperate and his falling in the polls and can't escape the economy or the Epstein Scandal. A cornered rat will chew through anything and anyone to stay alive.

Sure, the lights and trees can’t stay up forever, but the kind gestures — that we do on the outside and the inside — shouldn’t be limited to one season.” Walter Hart, California
