BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain.

@SBWorkersUnited has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

Excuse me: *Rogers* spoke with the chair of AIPAC?
I know we don't have federal election rules anymore, but the law does, you know, say directly that Super PACs can't coordinate directly with candidates https://t.co/33KVtkddgN

The Cherokee Nation has banned hyperscale data center development on all tribally owned and trust land.

That’s our Rep. @chrisrabb

Gretchen Whitmer is more interested appeasing people who can set up her up with a cushy private sector job after her term is up at the end of the year than she is in actually looking out for the interests of Michiganders.

That’s why she’s embracing the construction of data centers — against Michiganders’ wishes — and why she vetoed 9 bills that would have lowered costs for Michigan families just two weeks ago. Don’t take my word for it, ask Mallory McMorrow (see below).

Birds of a feather stick together. It is no surprise that Whitmer is backing the only candidate in this race who is accepting corporate PAC money from any company that will offer it — from BlackRock, to Goldman Sachs, to DTE, and dozens more. Just like Whitmer, Stevens would return the favor to her corporate donors if she gets to the U.S. Senate.

If Francesca Hong really becomes the Wisconsin governor nominee, it needs to be an organizational priority for us to support her. Everyone’s going to Wisconsin.

"Crush MAGA PAC," a DCCC-aligned Super PAC, is up with a $500,000+ ad buy going negative on progressive frontrunner Will Lawrence in MI-07.
It says he's "invested thousands with Wall Street, big oil and data centers." He has a $10,000 retirement account in an index fund.

NEWS: Lowell, MI protests Microsoft data centers at township meeting.

Microsoft’s representative was frequently interrupted by a clearly agitated crowd - law enforcement was called upon at least once and the meeting ran well into the evening, past 11pm.

“When Xavier Becerra was state attorney general, his office pushed the state Supreme Court to artificially inflate a Black man’s IQ in order to execute him.”

Lebanese towns should put little statues of Christ on their solar panels, desalination plants, homes, schools, hospitals and maybe that’ll slow down the Israeli demolition of everything in their path

Holy shit McMorrow evidently failed to disclose over half a million dollars spent on paid meta fundraising ads

BREAKING: A Republican-appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic-backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and “void from the start.”

All votes from the April 21 special election are now invalid, and the state is permanently blocked from using or implementing the new maps.

AG Jay Jones says he will immediately file an appeal.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome.

Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Democrats, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Democrat could get censured for holding this position. @AOC moving on this moved the field.
