Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

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

“We’ll see.” We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Why platform Jared Polis? Glad you addressed his support for RFK Jr., but he’s on the wrong side of the vaccine issue. Not mandating endangers the health of the public and the most vulnerable. What’s the deal with his RFK Jr. infatuation?

Further research on what I call the "tyranny of choice," what researchers here dub the "double burden of choice" bit.ly/4nEbBUi "School choice" is not only illusory, it should be undesirable. Freedom from being forced to make burdensome choices is better, if we would just make ALL SCHOOLS desirable

This is sickening
