Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together.

But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union busting.

If baristas go on ULP strike, our response is simply DON’T BUY STARBUCKS.

“CBC, stop giving Pierre Poilievre unchecked airtime. Fact-check, demand answers—don’t be a microphone for propaganda. Journalism exists to hold leaders accountable and report facts.”

FINALLY a cover that draws undeniable attention to the genocide (though it fails to call a genocide a genocide).

So @nymag.com went all in for their cover story, which you can find here:

Poilievre declaring war on the CBC would be the modern version of defunding and going to war against Mr. Dressup, The Friendly Giant, The Beachcombers and Hockey Night In Canada.

We need MORE Canadian heritage preserved. Not less.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Our household is loyal to #Chapmans because not only are they an amazing Canadian company who treats their employees well, they were one of the only brands that offered nut-free options, and that is so exciting when you have a small child with a life threatening illness.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.

It's so much worse than being reported.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.

Here is one thing you can do today: I called Target and let them know how disappointed I was that they ended DEI goals, and that I could not shop there anymore. The lady I spoke with was super nice and logged my notes to share with corporate. Script in next post.
