Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

The California Senate passed #AB1127 — a bill that will stop the future sale of pistols that can easily be converted into fully automatic weapons. The bill’s passage means CA is one step closer to making history as the first state to take on the gun industry’s role in the spread of DIY machine guns.

I just urged @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom to stand with our gun safety movement and stop DIY machine guns! Send your message: etwn.us/46lRi7T #AB1127 #CALeg @MomsDemand

Governor Newsom: Stop DIY machine guns!

Take action to support stronger gun laws in your California.

One thing the Bible does is show how UNprecedented moments in history are. We humans just keep repeating our cruelty.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Florida just told the state that they have 60 days to clear out Alligator Alcatraz.

This is a huge win for humanity.

A huge loss for Trump.
