Union baristas are finally back to the negotiating table with Starbucks, but the workers charge that rather than progressing, the company is reopening already agreed-upon issues. “They're trying to move backwards on issues we've already settled instead of settling the few that we have left,” said Mina Leon, a barista in downtown Manhattan who struck for two months to get the company back to the table.

When Roman emperors ran out of ideas, they promised #BreadAndCircuses. Trump’s speech was full of circuses, including a lengthy celebration of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. But he’s *no* Roman emperor: He made a point of reminding the American people that his administration is providing a lot less #food to the #poor (having “lifted” 2.4 million people off #FoodStamps).
"While there have always been restrictions on what these #FoodStamps could purchase, the latest change focuses on banning what it classifies as ‘junk food’. When policymakers first mentioned this modification, they gave the impression that it would be an easy change. Unfortunately, the reality is far from the truth, and it may be detrimental to those who depend on the program to keep their families fed."

In Trump’s Fraud Crackdown, Political Foes Face Harshest Scrutiny
It's not just illegally affixing his name to the #KennedyCenter. The attack is much more: the #CivilRightsAct, #Vaccines, #USAID, #FoodStamps, #HeadStart, the Special #Olympics, etc. What we (we w/a conscience, empathy, & intelligence) hold dear.
& "who better to have on side in a crusade ag. Kennedy initiatives than a Kennedy? it also doubtless served a psychological need for the president. . . Trump must also be keenly aware that a Kennedy is subject to him."
