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

Worst of all, Gildan has a history of working with sweatshops. A lot of MAGA merch nowadays will say it's "designed and printed in the USA," but if you dig a little deeper, the blanks are often from Gildan, typically produced in Bangladesh or Latin America.

In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it.
Which of those professions, though, do you reflexively associate more with lying?
You're not immune to copaganda.

imagine if Bernie Sanders had started a third party after Trump's win in 2016... That was honestly the moment to do it - 9 years later it would definitely be competitive. I don't know why US leftist influencers - who describe themselves as socialists - always just support the Dems

"Our task is not only to win elections but also to organize workers, tenants, and students into the kind of power that no legislature can ignore or co-opt ... a multiracial working-class movement with the collective power needed to create a society based on human need, not profit."
If Wall Street threatens Mamdani-style reforms with a capital strike, organized labor can fight back—history shows how banks killed NYC’s progressive plans in 1975, so unions must prepare to counter similar opposition now.
If Capital Strikes Against Mamdani, Organized Worker Power Can Strike Back
Let’s study how Wall Street sank Mamdani-style municipal plans back in 1975 — and get prepared for a similar fight.

This. All day. Everyday. We are all human. We can do this and we can do better.
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?
