Starbucks was started in 1971 in downtown Seattle. Howard Schultz bought it in 1987 and took it public in 1992 with 140 stores, then grew it to 677 locations by 1995. Today it has 38,000 stores across more than 80 countries.
Katie Wilson was just elected Seattle Mayor on November 13, 2025 when she called for a boycott of Starbucks.
Starbucks officially announced their new headquarters with 2,000 employees in Nashville, Tennessee, on April 21, 2026.
Another example of how democrat socialist policies actually work out.

@Latterdaytruth I was set apart as a 19 year old missionary by Eldred G Smith in 1969.

RFK Jr: Why did "gluten allergies" go up so much in 2006?
"we discovered that Roundup was a desiccant. And what that means, if you spray it on a crop, it will actually dry out the crop. And one of the big enemies of the farmer is that if there's rain around the time of harvest, their crops can get wet, and they get moldy, and then it ruins the entire silo."
"What Monsanto did is they began telling farmers, spray this on the crop, on your wheat, right before harvest or at the time of harvest. And it was so popular that about 85 % of the Roundup that has been used in history has been used since 2006. A large part of that is as a desiccant. And what that meant, is for the first time they're spraying it on food right at harvest."
"Not early in the season when they have a chance to wash off, but actually just before you're going to eat it. And they're spraying it for the first time on wheat because there was no such thing as Roundup Ready Wheat. They started spraying it on wheat as a desiccant. And so 2006 marks the day when suddenly these gluten allergies began exploding. The celiac disease and all these kind of wheat problems that we started seeing in this country."
If you measure it back and say, when did it start? You can look and draw a red line at this 2006 and it's the year that they began spraying it on.

@dr_ericberg I began eating one pickled clove each night before bed, about a month ago.

@commons96055467 Yes, I loved the 50%+ increase in prices for food, utilities, fuel, housing, during Biden. I hate the decrease under Trump.

@maziehirono Still paying the same at Sam’s club for my grass fed beef.

I know some of you don't want to hear this... but this is 100% happening because of Trump's tariffs.

My son hasn't spoken at school in four months. Complete selective mutism since the kids started calling him "the weird craft boy" who makes things instead of playing sports at recess. He's eleven and autistic, and art class used to be the only place he felt safe until his teacher told him his projects were "too babyish for middle school." He stopped making anything, stopped talking about his ideas, just came home every day and disappeared into his room with the door closed.
Last week he was watching me work on snowman decorations for my online shop, these whimsical couples I make and sell for people's holiday mantels. Didn't say anything, just sat on the couch observing while I hot-glued fabric scarves and painted faces. Then two days ago I came home from work and found him in the garage surrounded by foam balls and fabric scraps he'd pulled from my supply bins, hands covered in paint, completely absorbed in creating these two figures. He'd been working for six hours straight without stopping, something he hasn't done since his teacher destroyed his confidence.
He made himself and his little sister. The boy snowman has the same serious expression my son gets when he's concentrating, the same careful attention to detail in every button and hat decoration. The girl snowman is wearing pink because that's all his sister will wear lately, has flowers on her scarf because she picks dandelions for him every day after school. This is his first complete project since September, the first thing he's made that wasn't for a grade or an assignment, just pure creation because he wanted to express something he couldn't say with words.
When he finished he asked if people would think they were stupid, if kids at school would make fun of them like they make fun of everything else he makes. I told him they were incredible and he needed to see that I wasn't just saying it because I'm his mom. He finally agreed to let me post this after two days of me begging, but he's been refreshing my phone every ten minutes checking for comments, needing to know if anyone besides me thinks he's talented. I buy a lot of my supplies from other crafters online, and I keep showing him their work trying to prove that handmade art matters, that people value things made with this much heart and skill.
So what do you think? He's reading over my shoulder right now, hands still shaking slightly, waiting to see if anyone else sees what I see.

@elonmusk How in the world does this pathetic EU commission actually collect this fine?

Just got home from golf. A little drizzly rain, 45 degrees, but always fun. Laid down for a little X scrolling. Finally gave up after 10 minutes of nothing but lies and hatred of Trump. I didn’t read many of the comments,as I’m sure there were some MAGA supporters, but the proliferation of mental illness was just too much.
X was fun for a while, but if this continues, I’m done.

@allenanalysis Kids would turn on their own parents to get out of school.

@donwinslow And if you believe that, I’ve got some great swampland in Florida to sell you.

@patriottakes Well she’s right, but this all occurred under Biden. Essentially a 50% increase on food, gas, and utilities.
