This is a societal gut-check moment. Either this sort of thing is decisively and viscerally rejected, or we are about to dive headlong into a very literal dystopia.

What if the loved ones we've lost could be part of our future?

Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract. While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us. Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract, no coffee.

As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Congressional progressives' plan as far as I can tell is to just wait for Schumer to be up for re-election [checks watch] THREE YEARS FROM NOW. House Republicans kicked their Speaker to the curb. Democrats could do the same but choose not to.

BREAKING: Democrats are expected to back the funding bill despite losing on Obamacare subsidy extensions, ABC reports. They plan to take the fight over health care to the midterms, blaming Republicans for rising insurance premiums.

The Democratic Party should be in every major city and small rural area running food drives and registering people to vote right now. But they wont. Because “at least we’re not Trump” doesnt require any thoughts or demands. It’s just “shut up and vote for us.” And that is a…

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown. In all, 62 senators are on this bill. I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

In the Bible, Ruth was the ancient equivalent of an immigrant on SNAP benefits. Let the reader understand.

They’re literally shouting it out loud! Their plan to overturn the constitution and democracy. They’re not hiding it. They’re bragging about it. And the media are just ignoring it, or worse normalizing it; the biggest story perhaps in modern American history. Kill. Me. Now.

Steve Bannon: “Well he’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ‘28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ‘28.”

Credit where it's due: rallying 10 million people is an incredible organizational achievement. But if those 10 million people march, make their grievances known and Trump ignores them all the same, what was actually accomplished? Nothing. You've proven that you can mobilize…

Whether this girl was a citizen, a legal resident, or undocumented is irrelevant. Whether she was perfectly law-abiding or accused of a crime is irrelevant. A grown man kneeling on the neck of a 15-year-old girl (one who also wasn't resisting) is beyond the pale—an act…

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Israeli forces are minutes away from illegally intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla. One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor. The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15. I'm running for Governor to change that.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!
