The No Kings Alliance stands with the Starbucks baristas on strike. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power still belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge

Jacob Hoopes, a nonviolent pacifist Quaker, was arrested by 20 agents with assault rifles and no warrant, who handcuffed everyone in the house.
This is not police action, nor about justice. It's spectacle and intimidation. It's TERRORISM, FASCISM. They can come for anyone. And they will.
