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

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.

and I'll add, it doesn't matter what you're wearing when you say gay people should be stoned to death, it doesn't matter what tone you use, it doesn't matter whether you smile politely, it is not "civil" in any meaningful sense to express that idea.
if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate

Schools should be safe havens, not places of fear. Heightened immigration enforcement is putting vulnerable students at risk. Every child deserves to learn without the shadow of separation hanging over them.

Trump's order allocating funding for expanding school choice would diverting crucial funding away from already underfunded public schools.
