Day THIRTY-NINE of our national ULP strike - and baristas are fired up, united, and taking action.
Our demands are clear: Starbucks needs to stop union busting and finalize a contract with the pay, hours, and protections we need to succeed. #NoContractNoCoffee

US seized another tanker carrying Venezuelan oil, this one not already on the sanctions list for Russian oligarchs and Iran.
Panamanian flagged and belongs to a legal, China-based oil trader.
Unclear what US will do with the cargo, but this looks like at least a partial blockade, an act of war.

☕ The solidarity is strong: For every one barista on strike, dozens more allies have shown up in force to back our cause.

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

What fresh hell is this? AI can poison the social sciences next?
Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?
Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care
Across the country, a small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT.
To AI-proof exams, professors turn to the oldest technique of all

Imagine one of those tesla events where they show off a robot being tele-operated by a sweatshop worker
Rich people are suitably impressed by the keys being jangled in their faces when the tele-operator manipulates the robot into picking up a fork and jamming it into its torso to short the battery

Detainees, often with no criminal record, were subjected to what is unambiguously torture at Ron DeSantis' so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida. There need to be criminal prosecutions
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
