Workers at multiple Starbucks locations across the country went on strike yesterday, walking out in protest of management's refusal to negotiate a fair union contract with @SBWorkersUnited. In some cases, the police were called and striking workers were arrested.

Social security in their crosshairs

no. and additionally, go fuck yourself

i am begging a single goddamn streaming service to understand that i literally always want "continue watching" to be the top row of choices

It’s striking how effectively republicans tied mainstream dems with random internet communists, despite the two groups hating each other, while the vice president and shadow president are clearly in a million group chats with literal nazis and people hardly notice

Supreme Court legalized bribery, took bribes themselves, and declared this was all just how democracy is supposed to work

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

So with almost all digital game stores being based in the US,this could seriously fuck up the type of games we can release. We're not talking about small titles either. We're talking about Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Cyberpunk and so on. 1/2

1. Montana’s House has passed an indecent exposure bill that applies only to trans people. It sets out one standard for cis people that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not. Trans Rep. Zephyr delivered scathing remarks. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Interesting how there wasn’t such risk of “catastrophic failure” until these grifters swooped in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Amazing that “personal liberties” is never code for trans rights, a right to be free from pollution, or a right to join a union.

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Dark and evil

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

They screwed this all up.

I'm a reporter at CNBC.com covering Elon Musk + his cos. We're interested in current or ex-fed employees' experiences w/ "DOGE," your work with (or perhaps investigating) Musk & his companies before 47. EPA, DOT, NASA, FTC, NTSB, SEC, NLRB -- DM me on Signal: lorakolodny.55

The school “was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified.”

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
