  1. If there's one thing I would like everyone over 25 to know, it's that way more of the government is run by the people who just decided to show up to meetings than you realize.

    Attend a couple city commission meetings yourself, and they lose a lot of the mystique.

  2. We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.

    Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

    So Democrats get:

    1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

    2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

    3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

    Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

  3. It's been a few years, but I will not step across the threshold of a starbucks until their workers are organized and negotiated into working conditions they accept.

    BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

    If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

    Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
