Starbucks workers kick off 65-store US strike on company's busy Red Cup Day

More than 1,000 unionized Starbucks workers are on strike Thursday at 65 U.S. stores. The strike has closed some stores on Starbucks’ Red Cu

Right now, Starbucks workers are officially on strike. Our union is asking everyone to not buy Starbucks anywhere until the strike is resolved for Unfair Labor Practices. We'll be posting updates from the picket lines from across the country on our socials, so make sure to follow us and sign the No Contract, No Coffee Pledge to commit to not crossing the picket line. Let's goooooo! (x)

thinking about how my dad fled his home country at 19 in the middle of a war and then after 9/11 came to my preschool to educate kids on middle eastern culture/food/clothing so they wouldn’t be scared of people in traditional/religious dress or worry when they heard someone speaking arabic

this post has started blowing up. for those who have liked/reblogged this: i am asking you to please circulate and donate to palestinian gofundme’s/other resources for palestine. i’m glad people find this story heartwarming but i want people to be vigilant in not letting the palestinian genocide just fizzle out of the news cycle like it’s some “trend”. do not turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing, it is very much real and happening right now. if you can afford to donate, please do so. but Everyone is capable of using their voice, whether it be online or in their communities through organizing/protesting. i do not wanna hear shit about “empathetic burnout” from those who have FAR more privilege than these people could probably ever dream of in their lifetime. do not let apathy take hold, palestine will be free 🇵🇸

Happy Lunar New Year!

May you have a blessed year filled with love, happiness, good health and success!

A bit late but I wanted to post something anyways! I've been told the dragon can be a symbol for justice, on that note let's continue to speak up and speak out for the people who cannot. Don't let those in need be silenced and forgotten. Be brave, be confident and stick up for what's right.

Right now Israel's bombing Rafah, the last refuge for a million Palestinians, where they were previously ORDERED to evacuate to and are now trapped in while the US news cycle is dominated by Big Football Game And Celebrities In Attendance (at which Israel also aired a million dollar propaganda video). I wish I could say this is unbelievable.

[dancefloors]

[rodeodeparis]

not the first time, either...

[miki-draws]

Hey everyone!

Long time no talk! I just wanted to put it out there that I will likely be putting up a new commissions post soon with some new offers, keep and eye out and I will hopefully have it out soon :) I always appreciate everyone who inquires <3

[stuckinapril]

Israel has bombed—and completely demolished—the Great Omari Mosque in Gaza, which is the second oldest mosque in Palestine. There was no purpose to bombing it. There was no advantage to targeting it. Israel simply destroyed it to make a statement: that Palestinian religion and culture not only mean nothing to them, but are something they’re actively working on wiping out. This was one of Palestine’s most sacred cultural sites. Now it’ll forever serve as proof of the horrifying death and destruction the world has allowed to befall Palestine.

[fairuzfan]

There were also manuscripts there that date back centuries. I don't know the status of those manuscripts... but I'm not hopeful they survived.

Manuscripts are one of the main ways we explore our intellectual history throughout the years, and are incredibly important to Palestinians as we struggle to piece together our culture that has been lost over years and years of displacement. They are killing the memory of Palestinians because it isn't enough to just kill our flesh.
