More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor. It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

Why is it that literally every idea these people have is “how can I make everything about living on this planet more miserable”

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

Wondering if the class traitors who harassed an innocent Native woman get a bonus for doing it on Thanksgiving www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Bradley Talbot's group had 6,000 men and there are at least 100 child victims in this story. Story is from 6 days ago. There's barely any coverage in the UK - and it's bcs Talbot is White. It's that simple. www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/com-mod...

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

Instead of our “petty moment,” we got Merrick Garland 😫😫😫

Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans. Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

lol sign worked

Realizing that Trump doesn’t hate Mamdani (for now), and working backwards from that to figure out what makes him bizarro-world cool

Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old

Oh wow, the person who fueled the moral panic about trans kids is doing the same with autism. Big shock.

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Part of why dealing with the far right is so frustrating is that these people sincerely hate immigrants, LGBT people, and the left at large more than they care about their own personal wellbeing or their own communities. This young woman permanently disfigured herself to “own the libs.” Incredible.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I won't ask for the world, but giving something to this or signal boosting it will give the world to an awesome friend of mine during their very heavy time now.

Larry Summers Announces He Will Step Down From Chair With Belt Around Neck

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

I’ve been skeptical of McBride’s play-nice-with-bigots approach, but I will give her credit for achieving some meaningful success here

the lesson media people should take from the BBC blow up last week is that no matter how transphobic your editorial bent is, it will never ever ever satisfy the fascists

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

Maybe at some point we’ll talk about how the same politicians that ruined sex workers’ lives with SESTA-FOSTA and conflated consensual work with trafficking, had brazen dealings with a goddamn pedophile ring for decades. Or not

Remember when Tim Walz was going around talking about how weird these people are, and it resonated extremely well because they’re all a bunch of dipshits, and then Kamala Harris was suddenly like “No, we need to appeal to their sense of decency”

It really says something when one of the prominent voices in MAGA is insisting you consider the difference between a man raping a five year old vs a fifteen year old, while another still insists the masked men dragging entire families out of their homes are really about “protecting children”

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

The President of Colombia plainly states what is happening: Trump is engineering a war in South America to keep his MAGA base radicalized and to distract from the Epstein scandal. Still waiting for the Democrats to explain it to the American people like this.

I’m very glad to see at least one conservative institution showing they have some limits to their support for Trump’s cruelty, but this same institution did so much to bring us here in the first place.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

this is a must read It is so distressing that there seems to be this revision underway of what created the conditions for the murder of Brianna Ghey

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.

@nytimes.com caught red handed. Journalism is a sham. They were in the tank for Trump. Never give them a cent.

From the BBC a whole 4 days ago:

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

This is from a few days ago, but worth emphasizing: in the current scenario, Tom Homan is the "moderate." From www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It really is incredible the extent to which NYT acts as the high-minded arbiter of truth in our society, when in reality they behave more like a catch-and-kill tabloid that defends the rich and powerful.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

Every Epstein email is like "I love that you're a rapist and a pedophile! Signed, a man who personally has more wealth than 20% of the world's population."

For my newsletter, I talked about the proposed teenage phone restrictions in the name of a murdered teenage trans girl. (Noted this twice in the piece but again, I have no issue with Esther Ghey) www.burnsnotice.com/brianna-ghey...

Bari Weiss is Tulsi Gabbard with a byline. With distortions, half truths and lies, she is the Vichy voice who fancies herself speaking Truth to Power, when she truly is just someone speaking to a fascist exactly the lies he wants to hear.

WWI was a tragedy not only for Europe and Europe’s future, it was also a tragedy through the colonial wreck that was imposed on the Middle East and North Africa. The UK imposed an arbitrary settlement on the region that even they never really believed could work, and which led to modern catastrophe.
