Our power is our Labor. ✊️

I met a union sibling this weekend who's job is to deliver mail by way of a bicycle, in Seattle. She LOVES her job. Every single one of her routes is done on a bicycle.

My thoughts on the Melania thing.

Call your reps. Demand they get to DC now and do something.

Hey media--

Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.

Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.

Language matters.

Whelp. I'll probably never watch this movie.

We, the partners at Pike Place #301, are excited to announce our intent to unionize with Starbucks Workers United. As partners of the first Starbucks, we’ve decided to form a union to uphold the core values of our company and the Pike Place Market: fair and equal treatment, respect, and dignity for every single partner who makes this store so special. Thousands of partners around the country are working together to fight for a better workplace, and we look forward to joining them. Starbucks as a company was built on the core pillars of belonging, courage, and joy. Sadly, under your leadership – in our store and so many others – Starbucks has lost its way and veered from the core values that defined us. Store partners are the most important part of the Starbucks experience. We open the stores every morning and close them every night. We greet customers, make the coffee, clean up the spills, and remember our regulars’ names and favorite orders. But beneath the veneer of the excellent experience we craft for visitors every day, partners do not feel a sense of belonging and joy – unequal treatment is the norm, not the exception. When we speak up, that courage is punished, not rewarded. That has been most evident with Starbucks dispatching two national labor relations personnel to our store to surveil partners after the company heard we were discussing unionization, raising tension in the store that can be felt by both workers and customers. The market's founding gave us clear directions: "It is for you to defend, to protect and to uphold, and it is for you to see that those who occupy it treat you fairly; that no extortion be permitted and that the purpose for which it was created be religiously adhered to." The path to our union may be challenging, but we know this: We are better working together as a team, we have each others’ backs, and we respect everyone’s right to make their own choice. We call on Starbucks to live up to the core values of courage, joy, and be…

Today, the "original" Starbucks at Pike Place Market in Seattle, is announcing they're organizing their union. ✊

Read the letter workers addressed to CEO Brian Niccol about why they're joining thousands of workers nationwide fighting for a better Starbucks:

One of my favorite Seattle moments yesterday is how many people on here thought this huge crowd was No Kings, but it was actually people lined up to celebrate our new floating light-rail link over Lake Washington.

Seattle turns out for mass transit and democracy with equal fervor.

Texas politicians love the phrase “low taxes.”
But here’s the math:
Working Texans (~$30k income)
pay about 12.5% in state and local taxes.
Millionaires?
Under 3%.
That’s not low taxes.
Texas deserves an economy that works for working people — and that starts with voting all the way down the ballot.

Today, the Oscars celebrate achievements in film—but did you know the awards were originally designed to bust Hollywood unions?

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I know we have all said this in the past but this seems unsustainable.
