Last week, 11 Starbucks workers and supporters were arrested by Chicago police during a sit-in at one of the city’s earliest unionized Starbucks locations. The protest took place during Starbucks’ annual shareholder meeting.

    Fuck cops and fuck oligarchs, but you need to understand they deliberately sat inside a privately owned building to get charged with trespassing and get arrested so you could post about it on social media here.

    Technically they weren’t protesting in a legally allowed way (and this is good) and so you saying they were legally abiding citizens is factually incorrect. You have been successfully manipulated (but this is good because it’s a good cause).

    If they simply protested outside no one would give a shit, not the cops, not the Starbucks CEOs; no one would give a shit including you.
