"Haley Stevens does not speak for Michigan’s Jewish community.

STATEMENT: Haley Stevens does not speak for Michigan’s Jewish community. Michigan Jews for Democracy rejects Rep. Haley Stevens’ attempt to divide our community by endorsing Mike Rogers two days before the election. Mike Rogers is running a script we’ve seen many times before: claiming to stand for Jewish safety while trafficking with antisemites and perpetuating bigotry against all minorities. Now Stevens has joined him in cynically using our community’s real concerns for their own political gain. Michigan Jews for Democracy is a coalition of 1,000 Jewish Voters, all of whom have publicly committed to voting for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. This coalition is diverse in perspectives, but we agree on this: the stakes are too high to elect Mike Rogers. He would rubber-stamp Trump’s anti-democracy agenda and join with Trump in attacking the most vulnerable among us. Our coalition refuses to be distracted, and we refuse to despair. Hundreds of us are knocking doors and calling voters right now. We will keep talking to voters until the minute the polls close. We know all of our communities are safest when our democracy is strongest. Mike Rogers as a Senator would be a direct threat to American democracy. As a Senator, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed would be a bulwark for democracy and for our community’s safety.

one thing that's interesting about me is that i usually don't eat lunch at exactly 12 p.m. on the dot. today i'm starting to eat lunch at 12:26 p.m., and it's actually not all that unusual for me to eat as late as 1 or 1:30. i'd say this is my most interesting personal quality by miles

My new conspiracy theory: aliens landed on earth years ago. There were too many of us, so they decided the best way to destroy humanity was to pose as ppl and convince ppl to destroy each other thru war and policy. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were so close to figuring it out and saving the world

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 3mo ago

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting. What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it. Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. No Contract? No Coffee.

Fox Sports posts effusive video touting Donald Trump as ‘the sports president’

Donald Trump has been highly visible in the sports world since the 2024 campaign and throughout his second presidential term, especially during the administration’s “Freedom 250” festivities this year. The latest event in the 250th anniversary program was this weekend’s IndyCar race in Washington, D.C., where Trump drove an honor lap, and his administration had…

This gets at exactly what I've been thinking. Ballmer obviously circumvented the cap... And I'd bet Blazers fans now would take it any day

Everyone's out for blood with Steve Ballmer, who is no victim and no saint. But I wonder if we're missing the forest here to get one tree that's not even poisoning the earth like its brethren (in this specific instance). hardwoodparoxysm.substack.com/p/ballmergat...
