"We can take it for granted that Trump and his advisors would greet a terrorist attack as an obvious chance to blame their chosen enemies, advance their project of authoritarian regime change, and distract from their own perilous follies. (1/2)

This holiday season, #WeAintBuyingIt. Join the movement and refuse to shop at Target, Amazon, or Home Depot (and Starbucks!!) from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday.
Our money has power. If corporations side with authoritarianism, we won't side with them at the register.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.
