We have a similar problem in Texas with Paxton. He loves wasting taxpayer money by suing cities & counties within the state so that lawyer's fees on both sides of the case are funded by taxes.
I used to work for a state DOJ. It was shocking how much money we spent defending the state against lawsuits and bringing our own. I don’t have an issue with it when it’s stuff that makes sense. A lot of what comes out from red state AG’s don’t make sense though!
Can I sue the usa for putting in an incompetent president because he is old white and male? He seems like he was the right's only candidate even with all the legal issues surrounding him.
I think there are at least 17 states on that lawsuit. Sadly mine is one of them 🙄. We’re also suing Costco over DEI when I didn’t think we had a single Costco in our state! I was wrong, my state has one Costco. Such an important use of taxpayer dollars./s
White men in this country saw women and POC outpacing them academically and monetarily, and instead of looking inward, they lost their minds—historic levels of loser energy.
They were too busy watching/listening to Joe Rogan and spending their days fighting on the interwebs and their evenings playing video games in their mommie's basements.
“Enforces race and sex based hiring practices” is that what you meant about hiring women and non whites? Her lawsuit is worded in such a way you wound think the opposite. Scary
Missouri government if working hard to be more Nazi than Texas and Florida and Trump, almost. Is this a competition to be the most anti-democracy person?
I don’t even like Starbucks but now I feel obligated to buy coffee from them. How is our state leadership this dumb? They really don’t even understand what DEI means, yet they attack it vociferously
#Arizona may be considered 🟥 but our #AttorneyGeneral is a kick ass #Democrat
@azagmayes.bsky.social is a #warrior for ALL! She's suing the pants off this lawless #regime 💪💙
An example...
I notice he’s not going after a hospital network. If you’ve ever worked in one, you’ll know they are one of the most diverse workplaces you’ll find. White men were a small minority in the ICU I used to work in.
Wait until they go after instacart and you have to depend on white guys to get your substitutions correct. The last time a white man shopped for me, he substituted tahini with salted butter.
Oooof! I'm not sure I'd do much better as I'm autistic and stay in my own food lane with my chicken nuggies, but I'd have damn sure called and been like yooooo. Idk what this is lol hallllpppp. And I damn sure wouldn't have substituted with butter. 👀😅
Omg, this guy focuses on everything except what we need. He doesn’t want racism? I call BS. I live in SW MO. It’s rampant. And it sure as hell isn’t coming from Starbucks.
Is there a class they're taking for this stupidity? How to be a lemming? A sheep? This is ridiculous. I'm calling his office today. What a waste of his daddy's sperm.
It really pisses me off that my tax dollars are being wasted on his performative politics. How about doing something useful like going after payday lenders who are ripping off Missouri consumers?
This has a very distinct purpose: strong arm companies into hiring more and more white people and do away with any act that doesn’t give white people an advantage
Oh my.... I can't stand Bailey! He has nothing better to do?!?! Nothing?!?! WE HAVE A SEX TRAFFICKING ZONE IN OUR STATE. There's a back log of missing people. Rape cases. Homelessness. And this is what he focuses on?! Sick. Rot in hell you dirtball.
Absolutely frivolous.
Opportunists will take advantage of the illegal, immoral and unethical actions of the Trump administration and apply that behavior where it benefits them. So sad and so unneeded.
Oh you're looking for government waste, look no further than the Missouri AG who spends $$$ on frivolous law suits for ridiculous right-wing issues. I'm not sure he's won one yet. 🤔
This hiring trend has been going on for how long, and she just now thinks it's an issue worth addressing, hm? Did it just magically become a problem? I'd LOVE to see how many times she went to Starbucks during her time as AG.
Is Missouri attorney general out of his lane, suing Starbucks for its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives? Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
So there isn’t other pressing matters to worry about? Our AG here in Iowa is going after Costco and a local Sheriff. The Sheriff won’t detain ICE detainees unless they have proper paperwork . He’s upholding the 4th and 6th amendments and our gov is threatening to withhold state funding to the county
Facts! The governor here sucks and has signed an order stating business must comply and she is implementing DOGE efforts for the state. We are the south of the Midwest.
Ok. I’m going out on a limb here…Can citizens legally file cases like this against our governmental legislative bodies? They are all predominantly white and male and are completely inefficient and causing consumers to pay more and wait longer for governmental services.
Fuck these people sideways. If we ever manage to get back into power, it's time for punishment. And not the imaginary punishment they think they've been suffering since the Reconstruction era.
This is one of the most insane things I've heard yet. Is there a law we don't know about that says straight white men must be in the majority in every American company? What happens when they run out? Does he know that 2.4 million more women than men go to college in the US today?
So he wants his coffee served by men...white men? He wants to be rude and cheap to white men who serve him coffee. Seems like a kink I might not advertise. Just hire a guy.
Well that's an efficient use of of your tax dollars, isn't it? I am sure there are so many white males clamoring over themselves to work at Starbucks, but were turned down so they could hire less qualified women and minorities
He’s still angry about being passed over for the barista gig — but let’s face it — some dudes just don’t have the skills to pour a decent cappuccino. Or be a decent person.
I bet many women now realize they were DEI hires. And, the law will ensure white men get their jobs. The only protected job is that of the white man? Omg! To use the law in this is blatant racism.
JUDGE: Mr AG…who has the necessary traits to best be manage kitchens, prepare food and be servants to others as in God’s plan for the sexes?
AG: Women.
JUDGE: Case dismissed, the AG just stated he believes the hires were based on merit…oh, and that he is an A1 Asshole.
Bailey is a dipwad that got his job when the prior dipwad was elected senator…. Trying hard to figure out why I still live in Missouri. Not coming up with much…
There’s a large population of immigrant farm workers in Missouri. I notice he’s not suing Missouri’s corporate farming operations for failing to hire enough white men. This is a stunt.
Missouri AG: "citing new Chief Executive Brian Niccol's support of environmental, social and governance goals while leading the Chipotle burrito chain." So caring about people & the environment is the basis for investigating them for criminal discrimination?
Comments
thats wild to say givem the blatant acceptance of racism against minorites in missouri.
but apparrntly its an issue the governor can DIRECTLY ADDRESS. when hr thinks its racism against white people.....
Can we take a knee and support Starbucks for supporting ALL diversity, equality, inclusion for a moment?
Next week we can slam them again for anti-union stance.
In capitalism every company is some evil and some saint.
Time to feed love and starve hatred.
Elsa was so tough. Just be like Elsa!
🎶the cold never bothered me anywayyyyyy🎶
No seriously I hate the cold too, I'm anemic af lol but the snow and cold sounding real nice right about now 🤷🏻♀️
In my case absolutely worth it haha
Just sayin.

An example...
In the words of Marvin the Martian, "What a maroon!"
Why not sue every company in MO who employ women??
Ya know…. for efficiency. 🙄
We are very progressive in our Fascism here.
Opportunists will take advantage of the illegal, immoral and unethical actions of the Trump administration and apply that behavior where it benefits them. So sad and so unneeded.

Look at all those synonyms I put together.
Who is going to bear pregnancies now? Or are they invisible, and we are back to looking for babies in the cabbage patch?
Women: ok I’ll be at the Starbucks making delicious coffee
Conservatives: NOT LIKE THAT
AG: Women.
JUDGE: Case dismissed, the AG just stated he believes the hires were based on merit…oh, and that he is an A1 Asshole.
