Biden, like Mike Pence who also found classified documents in his possession after leaving the White House, has cooperated with government efforts to retrieve them. McCarthy’s comments were in reference to classified documents from the Obama administration found in President Joe Biden’s home garage earlier this year. “And if that’s the case, it’s reckless, it’s frustrating, and it causes problems.” This puts all of our military men and women in danger, if you are going to talk about what our military is capable of or how we would go about invading or doing something with one of our enemies,” Haley continued. “My husband’s about to deploy this weekend. She insisted that “two things can be true at the same time,” that the agencies have “lost all credibility with the American people” and that if the charges against Trump are true, he was “incredibly reckless.” Still, Haley anchored herself in the generic conservative attack on the FBI and Department of Justice (not for anything related to their histories targeting civil rights leaders, for instance, but for actually getting it right by going after one of the more prominent serial criminals of our time). It’s time to move beyond the endless drama and distractions.- Nikki Haley June 9, 2023 The American people are exhausted by the prosecutorial overreach, double standards, and vendetta politics. This is not how justice should be pursued in our country. Posts on Reddit that did not indicate location showed that other workers were also told some customers considered the Pride decor exclusionary. #starbucks #pride #gayrights #lgbtq #pridemonth #unionstrong #starbucksbarista #prideflag ♬ original sound - SBWorkersUnitedĮmployees at a Maryland store were told that some people felt excluded by Pride decorations. Starbucks claims to be pro-LGBTQ, yet we have confirmed DOZENS of instances of workers being told that they’re not allowed to put up pride decorations or of pride flags being taken down across the country IN THE MIDDLE OF PRIDE MONTH. In Oklahoma, workers were told Pride decor was considered unsafe because of recent attacks on Target. Some employees were told decorating was a safety concern: in Georgia, workers were told it was unsafe to be on ladders to hang a Pride flag. Starbucks Workers United told The New Republic that workers at a store in Massachusetts were told they couldn’t decorate because there weren’t enough “labor hours” to decorate and run the store. #pride #pridemonth #rainbowcapitalism #shameonstarbucks #starbucks #starbuckssucks #prideflag #pridedecor #starbucksbarista #starbucksstore #targetlgbtq #starbuckslgbtq ♬ Makeba - Jain True allyship with the LGBTQ+ community is negotiating a union contract that legally locks-in our benefits, our freedom of expression, and ways to hold management accountable. A company that cares wouldn’t turn their back on the LGBTQ+ community to protect their already astronomically high profits. Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed, causing them to pay out of pocket fees and lose access to certain providers If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, even during a time when LGBTQ+ people are under attack. Starbucks is powered by many queer workers, but management has failed to materially support the LGBTQ+ community. In union stores, where Starbucks claims they are unable to make “unilateral changes” without bargaining, the company took down Pride decorations and flags anyway - ignoring their own anti-union talking point. Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ+ pressure and removed pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores. This seems to be the first year the publicly pro-LGBTQ+ company has taken this kind of stance. For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. STARBUCKS IS BANNING PRIDE FLAGS ACROSS THE US. But according to the union, workers in stores in at least 21 states were told that all Pride decorations must come down-even in unionized stores, where Starbucks normally argues it can’t make sweeping changes without first discussing it with workers. This year, they even partnered with artist Tim Singleton to design a series of special Pride-themed tumblers. Starbucks has always adopted a pro-LGBTQ stance, at least in public.
