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

Social norms are unwritten rules backed by social sanctions. If child sexual abuse isn’t met with strong, collective consequences, we don’t have a social norm against it.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

"As a proud 3rd generation union member, I’ve walked a lot of picket lines and been part of supporting my union leadership in negotiations.
If my leadership caved after a 40 day strike & got nothing in return, they would be voted out immediately.
Pelosi never would have let this happen."

There was a lady on the train this morning doing this to the pole.
Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜

i donated earlier this week to my county food bank, didnt even think about pet food banks, this is great
if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I need a scientist or medical professional to explain to me why it’s necessary for us to become itchy in reaction to things. Why do wounds itch when healing? What is the benefit of being itchy? Is there one? Can I make it so I am never itchy ever again? Being itchy should be illegal.

I don’t comprehend how so much of our money could be tied up in fake things. Things that do not exist, that may never exist.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

Now that we’re all focusing on #nyc I’m trying to find the origin of calling sweatshirts sweaters. Some natives could never. Others claim to have never once uttered “sweatshirt” in the life.
Is it an immigrant thing? A Caribbean thing? A neighbor insists they do this in TX, too.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.
