I think all the folks who say they believe in these things but don't want to put one of these signs up because they try to appear neutral and stay out of politics should be forced to exclusively listen to Ed Sheeran's music from here out.

On June 23, the Greene County Sheriff's Office conducted a massive immigration sweep, as part of its 287(g) agreement with ICE. Per ICE, the agencies detained 49 people that day. By law, GCSO's supposed to report data on every traffic stop to the Virginia State Police. But ... what if it didn't?

I know a lot of people are really eager to section off ICE and Border Patrol as uniquely pernicious forms of law enforcement but it’s simply impossible to disentangle what we’re seeing from ICE with policing in any honest way.

I genuinely wonder if the weird right wing insistence on her neutrality had to do with the fact that she performed hyperfemininity. They saw her makeup and hair and tight clothes and that excused her clearly progressive politics. I also wonder if Dolly knew exactly that would happen.

I still believe that there is a labor movement that could change that. At least in some states. I do not believe there is a culture of labor among well employed faculty that’s even close to being willing to do that.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.
