Papaver nudicaule - Iceland Poppy
Papaver somniferum - Breadseed poppy

Reactionary centrists don't believe in anything except staking out the "higher ground." They're really just unserious assholes who treat politics like it's debate team and not something that imperils and impacts millions of people every day

And, the DNC just pushed and pushed the ever loving shit out of this pro life DINO over progressive Jessica Cisneros. There has NEVER been a better opportunity for a 3rd party than today. Fucking FECKLESS.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Sometimes your haters are your biggest fans! Thank you to Canary Mission for making such an awesome recruitment video for Democratic Socialists of America. We couldn't have done it better ourselves.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

My Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined Starbucks workers on the picket line today because making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers. We are their partners in the fight to live in this city with dignity.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

The "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and therefore I am completely absolved of any of my exploitative consumption habits and also I won't do anything to help solve the problem because I have xyz reason"-ing is infuriating. Yes, corporations caused this, but still, we must try.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

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

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

#Trump is maybe the single best example of how fundamentally stupid #capitalism is. Despite possessing no skills, intellect, or anything of value, inheriting nearly a billion dollars has allowed him to continuously fail upwards.

Just passively reaping the benefits of #capital ownership..

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
