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

Excited to share that my book will be out this December! Prison abolitionists have long known that “tough on crime” politics inflict harm, cement inequalities, and disempower citizens. They also show us what alternative responses to harm, and egalitarian forms of democracy, could look like.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.
The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.
Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
