the chain is not “struggling” — their CEO made $96 million last year. they’re using megacorporation accounting tricks to make it seem like the business is in trouble in order to strategically fire unionized employees illegally
Starbucks to close hundreds of stores and lay off staff as the chain continues to struggle.

If you’re wondering why Andrew Cuomo is so soft on ICE—and why he hasn’t called for Brad’s release—you can just follow the money.

The barricades are going up outside the federal building in Seattle now as working class resistance to ICE explodes across the US. This isn't just another demonstration of powerlessness comrades. This is class war.

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

Trump and the fascists are going to try to make this about law and order. That narrative is total bullshit. ICE are kidnappers. They have broken the law every day, and their immoral mission to break apart families and communities and hurt countless people is fundamentally wrong.

Zohran Mamdani is running a modern version of Fiorello La Guardia’s 1930s NYC mayoral campaigns: with bold plans to make the city humane and functional; multilingual appeals to the working class; and a potent determination to put oligarchs in their place. thenation.com/article/politi…

In his prime, Guru was unequivocally regarded as one of the greatest rappers alive. In the 15 years since his death, he's been left off All-Time Greatest lists and constantly overlooked So @soflogemstoned offered a reminder of his timeless brilliance. passionweiss.com/2025/05/19/…

Do not lose faith in humanity. Lose faith in capitalism & its mercenaries who insist that there is no other way.

Huge mobilisations taking place right across Greece today, as workers bring capitalism to a standstill in a breathtaking general strike. Only workers have the power to stop the bosses. This is what solidarity looks like.

After the nazi stabbing attacks on workers in Paris yesterday, French anti-fascists are hitting the streets tonight. In resistance to the far right enemy that wants to divide our class. Solidarity comrades. The only good fascism is dead fascism.

At every point in the past 8 years, critics have articulated what a serious political response to Trump would look like, and at every point people with power have declined to follow through. No one bothers anymore because no one believes there are any serious people with power.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where Trump's deportation plan is going. Food shortages and resurgent inflation will not make America great. Call off this hateful, hurtful xenophobic scheme before our economy tanks.

Zionism is an explicitly fascist ideology, and an explicitly colonial project, and it is sickening to watch legacy liberal media institutions falling over themselves to legitimise it and provide cover for its crimes.
