Support labor! 🌹 Don't cross the picket line!
BREAKING: 10,000 workers at Kroger-owned King Soopers are now on strike in Colorado, shutting down 77 grocery stores.
UFCW workers voted by 96% to strike after their contract expired in January.
It's the first big strike of Trump's second term.

I should clarify that I don't condone Mangione's actions but I can't bring myself to feel anything toward the victim. I hate that but here we are.
