Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract

*** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY***

Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

Senate Democrats are in an abusive relationship with Republicans. The shut down was a chance to stand up to them, but the Republicans showed up with wilted flowers and the Dems believed they are changed men, until the next time. And there will be a next time.

#GVerse DEMOCRATS,

11 "or more" Democrats are reportedly breaking ranks and preparing to vote for Trump and against their own party and country.

They are getting nothing in return.

Zero gain on ACA subsidies.

They are giving up everything for nothing.

Contact them ASAP. Please share.

Speaker Johnson has repeatedly said he won’t schedule a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies. So what good is a Senate deal to end the shutdown that hinges on them promising a vote? It would be pointless.

While giving up seat on his bench to a republican senate? While giving up any opportunity to serve as a bulwark to this regime? So he can say what he wants? This is not courage, it's a contract clause for a book deal.

My theory of the case...is Trump wants the shutdown to go into the new year, which is why he only wanted to use half of the reserve. Using the full reserve means he has to open things up in December or Scrooge McDon becomes another unfortunate misnomer.
Breaking: A federal appeals court just denied a last-minute bid by the Trump admin to temporarily halt some SNAP funding during the shutdown.

If you're not struggling, that doesn't make you better than anyone else and most everyone in America is one life changing event away from struggling themselves.

My plan? I will go to my local independent bookstore. I am also making a lot of presents this year. So I will have a day of making over Thanksgiving weekend. I am making cold kits--Lip balm, making tea blends from herbs from my garden, and hankies. I might add some local honey.
