JUST IN: This morning, hundreds of baristas have joined our national ULP strike.
☕ The solidarity is strong: For every one barista on strike, dozens more allies have shown up in force to back our cause.
Our strike continues to grow in strength and power! #NoContractNoCoffee

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

Who else is just dicking around? 🙋🏻♂️
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot:
“The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”
