June 5, 1871, anarchist Michele Angiolillo was born. He would go on to assassinate the Spanish prime minister in revenge for anti-anarchist suppression and for the execution of Filipino polymath Jose Rizal. Mabuhay ka! You have acted where Filipinos could not.

Notorious union busting group Pinkerton security is at the Seattle Starbucks Roastery because management would rather call the cops and hire dangerous security than simply talk to the workers out here today

Imagine waiting over 90 minutes in line for coffee made by managers and scabs while the @sbworkersunited baristas are asking you to support us by not crossing the picket line. All you gotta do is leave! #Solidarity #strikewithpride

After insinuating that our picket will be "unsafe", our general manager hired Pinkerton security to surveil us. By standing directly over us. Often staring directly into our tent down at us. Thanks for the thinly veiled threat! #ToBeAPartner #StrikeWithPride

Don’t cross the picket line! Don’t be a scab! Don’t buy Starbucks coffee while their workers are on strike! There a several coffee shops less than a minute away from the roastery, this is Seattle.

The real #ClimateScam: in the 1980s, oil companies like Exxon and Shell produced internal reports where their own scientists admitted fossil fuels were causing climate change, but instead of making that info public, they suppressed it and funded climate denying junk 'science'
