“They don’t want working people to have a voice.” @silviabaldwin.bsky.social reports that over 3,800 baristas are on strike with @sbworkersunited.org in the longest national work stoppage in the company’s history—demanding fair pay, stable hours, & real democracy at work.

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

i was progged the fuck out when i wrote this

there’s something to be written about transness and the refusal of labor via the strike action. if you can reject the coercion of wage labor, the horizon becomes nearly infinite.. your agency and control over your reality become undeniable; to strike is to actively transition

this op ed by cassie pritchard on the charlie kirk starbucks cup sitch is so incredibly lucid and frames really clearly the hollowness of american politics and our union’s fight to build something real. it was a privilege to help make this piece happen

having a union means you get to do this to your boss

oh heyy

honestly convincing dykes to carry naloxone on them at all times in one of their 18 cargo pockets is probably a pretty good way to maximize lives saved with one ad

i never even heard fireworks i only heard minecraft

never didn't have it bby go birds

im sick and tired of the burrito bastard billionaire brian niccol continuing to make asinine top-down decisions that do nothing to actually improve our day to day life working in cafes. So much for wanting us to show up as our authentic selves, c-suite clowns are so removed from reality.

Our union stands in solidarity with Rumeysa Ozturk. #FreeRumeysa #4the1st

last four friday lmao this is very unrepresentative of me as a person

BREAKING: Oklahoma Pride Alliance has announced they will NOT be allowing Starbucks to participate in Oklahoma City's pride events. OK Pride Alliance president Kylan Durant wrote "Pride... should not be co-opted by companies & organizations that refuse to acknowledge the voice of their workers." 👏

if you see this, quote a game with a 10/10 soundtrack real ones know: machine girl, neon white “the wicked heart”

you’ve heard of rent to own, but have you heard of

BREAKING: Starbucks workers at the S. Dale Mabry & Neptune location in Tampa, FL just WON the 550th union Starbucks store in the US! Not only that - baristas at 23 MORE stores are announcing organizing efforts today! When we fight together, we WIN together. And we're NOT slowing down. ✊🔥

JUST IN: ICE van reportedly set on fire in Philadelphia

Some baristas are being told NOT to reference Black History Month when writing on cups & bags, although they face potential discipline for not writing anything at all - even when understaffed or during a rush. Why is this an issue, and why is Starbucks management emboldened to make these decisions?

something i’m appreciating about this app is that when i tab away and back it doesn’t tantalize me with an alluring post and then rip it away from me

rewatching the ahsoka framing arc and the art direction is just so good. the nominal switch hasn't happened yet, but we are thoroughly in empire mode.. #starwars #theclonewars

can’t wait for @morecivilized.bsky.social to get back to rebels so they can be sooo disappointed in saw gerrera #starwars #rebels #amca

Starbucks workers in LA are being forced to work in areas impacted by the recent wildfires - even where the air quality is unsafe. Management told partners that stores must open because “the community depends on us,” ignoring that some workers had to evacuate their own homes.

critical redundancy

my dear friend gifted me the andor soundtrack on vinyl with a hand-painted custom sleeve 🙀🥹

U.S. press reporting on trans issues in America: Should we be able to hunt trans people for sport? It's complicated. U.S. press reporting on trans issues in a country we deem evil: China disrespects the revolutionary gains won by the brave activists as Stonewall.

it’s the time of year where i suddenly have full bars in the trolley hole, i pray it stays this time

the fixation on trumps felon status drives me crazy.. yeah he’s the first felon president cause we don’t hold our politicians accountable for their crimes as long as they adequately perform Respectable Statesman

Our union went on the biggest Starbucks ULP strike in history right before the holidays, and as we head into 2025, we’ll keep fighting until Starbucks bargains a fair contract with us. Make no mistake — this was just the beginning. ✊🔥 Happy New Year!
