Think about how when Dobbs leaked, dem leadership had *months* to plan and instead were caught totally unprepared, thumbs up their asses, when Roe was struck down. And how Republicans literally started resurrecting Jim Crow *within a day* of the VRA getting gutted.

Folks weakening the Endangered Species Act to lock in a permitting reform deal (looking at you, @whitehouse.senate.gov & @heinrich.senate.gov) do so at their peril. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Paper Abstract: ABSTRACT
Conservation professionals expect increased attempts to weaken the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) during the second Trump
administration. As such, it is important to understand Americans’ level of support for the ESA. Prior research indicates that
support for the ESA remained consistently strong across four studies conducted over a two-decade period, 1996–2015. The research
presented here extends those observations to six studies conducted over a three-decade period, 1996–2025. We find that support
of the ESA over that period has remained consistently high, at about 84%, and opposition has remained consistently low, at about
12%. We also report on other trends and patterns in support for the ESA, highlighting high and growing support for the ESA among
politically conservative people and the absence of any rural–urban divide in support for the ESA

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 24/09/2026

It has never been more clear why baristas need the backing of a union.

Today, Starbucks announced they’re closing about 250 US stores this week. A small number of these are union stores.

We expect to engage in effects bargaining for every impacted union store, as we have done elsewhere, over the conditions of these closures, including transfers so workers can be placed in another Starbucks store based on their preferences.

But let’s be clear - today’s announcement proves once again that ‘Back to Starbucks’ is nothing more than a betrayal of what workers and customers loved about the company.

As Starbucks continues to close stores, violate labor law, hike up our healthcare premiums, and betray its core value of belonging to appease right-wing politicians, the company is moving farther away from everything it once was. Starbucks is becoming unrecognizable under CEO Brian Niccol — and that is why labor allies, elected officials, and customers are all joining together to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a fair union contract.

Starbucks leadership is failing the company, and trouble is brewing for Starbucks. When just this month, the country’s most pro-business court of appeals called Starbucks a ‘repeat violator’ of labor law, it’s time for everyone to start paying attention.

* source: Starbucks v. NLRB, 24-60650 (5th Cir. 2026)

It has never been more clear why baristas need the backing of a union. We love our jobs, and we know Starbucks doesn’t run without us, so we’re organizing together to demand a better future and a fair contract.
