Starbucks’ CEO’s total compensation last year was $97,813,843. That’s 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista makes.
It’s a new level of corporate greed.
It would cost less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. We stand in solidarity with them in this fight.
"Starbucks baristas in Ann Arbor, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and St. Louis have held marches on the boss or other workplace actions demanding that ICE be barred from their worksites in the absence of a signed judicial warrant."

"Trump administration is quietly pursuing a regulatory change that would strip federal nutrition assistance from an estimated 6 million low-income Americans—including nearly two million children—as it spends billions on an illegal, open-ended war on Iran."

Will continue the conversation with South Korea on the importance of democracy. If you have followed the recent news, their ability exercise timely impeachment is extraordinary.
Attended a conversation at UN Secretariat with High Court Justices of Qatar, Tanzania; Arab States coalition and more and the main takeaway is - in terms of women’s rights they are progressing as much as we are regressing. Same speed. Same scale. Opposite directions.
Full report coming later today
#OtD 12 Mar 1912 the Bread and Roses strike won all their demands. The strike was organized by mostly women workers and the Industrial Workers of the World and included 20,000 workers. More on the strike: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e...
Almost half the shows are copaganda FYI. Tracker technically isn't, "he's a lone wolf survivalist" but it's adjacent IMHO. If you remove the news shows it's fully half.
I spoke w/ a reporter at The Guardian about AI & she used one of my quotes as the title of her article 😂.
Thanks to Alice Speri & @theguardian.com for covering our Sisyphean struggle.

Recently, Ta-Nehisi Coates said, “Well, they’re killing people in the streets. I don’t like to say I told you so, but I saw this coming years ago, and they said I was being too alarmist. But it’s consistent with what the United States is as a country.“
The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
For all of the USA empire's fear-mongering, no communist nations have ever invaded, or even threatened to invade USA territories. We do NOT need to be perpetually building more and greater death machinery for "self-defense."
On the contrary, we are the threat.
We are on the Death Star.

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #3

The reason the far-Right wants to paint first amendment activity as "terrorism" is because they don't want working-class communities to organize against miserable conditions.

"[U]pon her release from Dublin she was met by an ICE officer holding chains."

they talked for 38 minutes, and state politics reporter Daniel Chacon @thenewmexican.bsky.social + longtime local fascist propagandist/peptide promoter Eddy Aragon managed to avoid mentioning Trump's ties to Epstein even once 🤘🤠

This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
NEW: 23 people have died in ICE custody this fiscal year, already surpassing the number of deaths of last fiscal year.
DHS did not respond to our questions about the tally but they did respond to GA Senator questions about detention conditions. Latest: www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...
okay that truncation of plurality was not just a typo
Instead of responding to the Supreme Court's Citizen United decision in 2010 with outrage and action, the U.S. Democratic party shrugged and sighed, "Well, guess if we can't beat them, we can join them."
another last thing I remember doing there was telling one of the Red Scare twats not to be blithe about it because Ann Coulter really might eat her firstborn
This too is federal “permitting reform.”
Energy wonks fixate on energy. But they are wildly ignorant of ecology.
And they thus have a recklessly myopic understanding of how we must understand & address the confluence of crises facing our country.
“Permitting reform,” as defined, is not the way.
“We’re seeing women who are, all of a sudden, villains in their own tragedies, and their mugshot is plastered all over the news before they can even launch their defenses.”
