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
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Dire wolves, made famous by “Game of Thrones,” went extinct some 13,000 years ago. Now, researchers have bred gray-wolf pups that carry genes of their ancient cousins.

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers. They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

In America, the next few weeks, and likely months, will result in a nonstop attack on the solidarity of Muslims and Jews. The goal will be to break us apart and make our existences feel zero sum. We won't fall for this. It is nothing but an attempt to divide and control us.

This is actually a really good idea to just prevent the elimination of created works. Like it doesn't help the residuals or anything, but creatives are just having thwir works removed.

Getting off Twitter and on to bluesky at this moment feels very much like hopping in the last boat off the Titanic. Well this boat is a lot smaller, but at least it's still above water.
