This IS a winnable fight! And it’s your fight. Stand with Starbucks workers!
Everybody opposed to authoritarianism and oligarchy should needs to stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are likely going on strike starting November 13
This is a winnable fight — but it'll take all of our support to help workers get past the finish line

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

I cannot emphasize this enough:
The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.
They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.
Doomers are not realists.

I missed the fourth update on the FM24 pentagon challenge where I was able to prevail in the African Champions League with Casric Stars, but I can finally say I've completed the final challenge and won in the European Champions League with Stade Rennais F.C!

Reading a philosophy book section on informal fallacies, and the writer says insults are not per se ad hominem attacks, because "ad hominem" is when the insult is used to attack validity.
So,
"you have tiny balls" = OK
"your views on set theory are wrong because you have tiny balls" = ad hominem

"you have tiny balls" = OK

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.
Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

Every senator on this platform should be run off, mocked, and harassed in public because they always tell us we should be terrified while doing jack shit nothing about it except collecting a paycheck while sitting safe in a position of power.
We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.
Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

Imagine being the kind of weak, feckless loser who accelerates the spaceship to Warp 8, when Warp 9 is available. Pathetic.
If my captain did that I would lose all respect for them, and immediately form a subcommittee to explore the possibility of broaching the subject of mutiny among the crew.

I think any sport where players do self-introductions should require them to also have sassy "Real Housewives" style one-liners as part of the intro. I want to see Patrick Mahomes strike a pose and say something like:
"Don't throw a flag on the play, this passer likes it rough."
