I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

You know our baristas are dedicated when they're running picket lines in these freezing temps. ⛄️ We're ready to keep fighting until Starbucks stops union busting and delivers a fair contract! #NoContractNoCoffee

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.

Worry has been swirling in Newport this month as a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter has disappeared from the coastal community's airport with crabbing season around the corner. And recent evidence suggests an ICE detention facility may take its place.

The law is inherently political.

To those in the armed forces, it’s not simply that you have a right to disobey an unlawful order. You have a duty.
