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

Be sure to also note @adamrose.bsky.social's assessment of why declaring an unlawful assembly to shut down a bar DURING THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES sets a chilling precedent: “Using unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement"

it is now November which means if you're an artist: this is when you want to start looking at your body of work from 2025 for an annual review!
are you proud of the work you've made this year? what was new that you're glad you tried? what do you want to do more of next year?

The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away
