Here’s an easy way Starbucks can get more people back into their stores: TURN DOWN THE FUCKING MUSIC! Almost every Starbucks I visit has their music WAY TOO LOUD. A good “3rd place” is where you can chat or think without oppressive noise—no Ube gimmicks needed.

250 years ago, this founding document began this great American experiment. I wrote this 10 yrs ago, but it’s in need right now. Aimed at 4th-6th grade, but a great refresher for the conservatives in your life. Please share! What Is the Declaration of Independence? (What Was?) a.co/d/09IBxBiE

Watched @chriscuomo.bsky.social on news nation today—an interview with a programmer who set up a wiki for the Epstein files. B roll of various images that have been found in the files ran during the 10 min interview. Not ONE of the images shown were of Trump. News Nation is a right wing PR station.

Seriously NBC: you have to get rid of Kristen Welker @kristenwelker.bsky.social She’s an utter doormat when interviewing guests. she doesn’t bring facts to bear on her guests nor does she ask tough follow ups. They spew lie after lie and fake stats and she NEVER challenges them. Utter embarrassment

The more illegal and repugnant the actions this incompetent and vindictive administration takes, the more my anger and frustration is aimed at EVERY SINGLE GOP Rep and Senator that sits silent and scared and condones every horrible and hateful policy. Embarrassing cowards all. Vote them all out.

Disgusting. When will we elect some people who fight for American workers and stop this perpetual scam?

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

These Dem Senators are both cowardly AND stupid. Americans overwhelmingly voted this week so Dems fight against the GOP’s budget, but these idiots didn’t get it & FOLDED. Bombard them with calls to vote NO against the final passage: Kaine Cortez Masto Fetterman Hassan Durbin King Shaheen Rosen

Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. More than Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. Now do you get why Trump is illegally bombing small boats off Venezuela’s coast? And threatening war against them?

The POS POTUS is an abomination. But just as bad—if not worse—are the GOP Senate and House who have completely abdicated their responsibilities as governing bodies. They are complicit in every horrible thing the Orange Felon has done. Dems need to tag the GOP Congress with Trumps’ vile actions.

So @jaketapper.bsky.social ran a softball email “interview” with Trump. No evidence it was actually Trump. But Tapper ran it as if it was legitimate news. This is the guy who wrote a book about Biden’s mental decline, yet he hasn’t run a segment on Trump’s obvious psychosis and mental breakdown.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

If Starbucks and CEO Niccol want people to “Get back to Starbucks“ cafes and rekindle its “3rd place” allure, here’s a free tip based on decades of cafe experience: TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC DOWN! We’re not there for your playlists. If you have to yell to have a conversation, it’s too loud.
