This is insane!!

Next Festivus's airing of grievances is going to be epic.

What is wrong with these people?!

We don’t have enough time or patience to go into the psychological analysis of all of these people.

True. It was a rhetorical question anyway.

I figured, but I couldn’t resist. Wishing you some sanity in this insane situation.

Same to you

Quality exchange here.

100%

If it makes you feel better, Bailey's a hardcore loser and hasn't won a single case he's brought.

Our state is paying for his nonsense. He’s making a name for himself, and it doesn’t seem to matter to his voters.

I didn't say it was great news

SAD! When you could have had REAL, meaningful representation with Elad Gross!

We have a similar problem in Texas with Paxton. He loves wasting taxpayer money by suing cities & counties within the state so that lawyer's fees on both sides of the case are funded by taxes.

I used to work for a state DOJ. It was shocking how much money we spent defending the state against lawsuits and bringing our own. I don’t have an issue with it when it’s stuff that makes sense. A lot of what comes out from red state AG’s don’t make sense though!

Missouri’s AG just sued Starbucks. Not enough white guys making lattes. 😒

I'd love to see him prove any white guy that wanted to work at any Starbucks anywhere in the world, can't do so.

Same here. Would you want to be him ordering anything at Starbucks? Dude…

I’ll take my resistance like I take my coffee, black.

Can I sue the usa for putting in an incompetent president because he is old white and male? He seems like he was the right's only candidate even with all the legal issues surrounding him.

Yes, ours is suing the government to abolish Section 504. You know, help disable kids go to school… I think yours is along for that ride as well?

I think there are at least 17 states on that lawsuit. Sadly mine is one of them 🙄. We’re also suing Costco over DEI when I didn’t think we had a single Costco in our state! I was wrong, my state has one Costco. Such an important use of taxpayer dollars./s

This is so much scarier than people are acting

Save USAID

"......theres no place for racism in missouri" thats wild to say givem the blatant acceptance of racism against minorites in missouri. but apparrntly its an issue the governor can DIRECTLY ADDRESS. when hr thinks its racism against white people.....

Another stupid republican.

I thought MAGA men want women in the kitchen making their coffee!

Yep. They are going full racist.. They'll be using the N word in public soon.

Ah.. someone who could use a high 5 to the face with a chair.

Everyone proud to boycott because free Palestine? We got trump from that. Can we take a knee and support Starbucks for supporting ALL diversity, equality, inclusion for a moment? Next week we can slam them again for anti-union stance. In capitalism every company is some evil and some saint.

AG Bailey is clearly a Sexist MAGA. Disgusting!

What do folks in your state think of the AG

Helping us to understand your State.

Wait, he isn't happy women of POC are working in the kitchen?

You know it would be quicker if he just set tax payer money on fire 🤷‍♀️

That’s 10$ latte hits different now

I thought this was Florida

White men in this country saw women and POC outpacing them academically and monetarily, and instead of looking inward, they lost their minds—historic levels of loser energy.

I doubt baristas are outpacing anyone monetarily—it’s just racism and misogyny, no reason needed.

🎯🎯🎯

This makes no sense. It says she’s suing them for discriminating against race - I have to read it again because I’m lost.

“Enforces race and sex based hiring practices” is that what you meant about hiring women and non whites? Her lawsuit is worded in such a way you wound think the opposite. Scary

My travel and tourism spending decisions just got simpler. No trips to Missouri.

I just said the same thing.

Ever dollar we spend has an impact, + or -. Time to feed love and starve hatred.

Jesus H. Christ

Motherfucker said he want D.E.I but only for white men lol

I’m embarrassed to live in this state, this country…why is Canada so cold

Shut up🙄🙄🙄 Elsa was so tough. Just be like Elsa! 🎶the cold never bothered me anywayyyyyy🎶 No seriously I hate the cold too, I'm anemic af lol but the snow and cold sounding real nice right about now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Probably worth it.

I'm born female, I'm autistic, and I use they/them pronouns... So definitely safer there👀🤷🏻‍♀️ In my case absolutely worth it haha

And it’s beautiful there.

Missouri government if working hard to be more Nazi than Texas and Florida and Trump, almost. Is this a competition to be the most anti-democracy person?

I don’t even like Starbucks but now I feel obligated to buy coffee from them. How is our state leadership this dumb? They really don’t even understand what DEI means, yet they attack it vociferously

He’s such a douche

And the president is signing executive orders for plastic straws!!!!

Andrew Bailey's staff is too white and should be sued:

Sure do see lots of white dudes working there. Just sayin.

Why? Did he apply for a job there and not get it?

This is sick 🤢

Jeez… your AG is as corrupt as mine (Texas)

Now don't be modest. No one's AG is as corrupt as Paxton. 😉

That’s true. And not just ugly skin deep. Ugly through and through

#Arizona may be considered 🟥 but our #AttorneyGeneral is a kick ass #Democrat @azagmayes.bsky.social is a #warrior for ALL! She's suing the pants off this lawless #regime 💪💙 An example...

FFS

Unfortunately, he's my AG, too. In the words of Marvin the Martian, "What a maroon!"

FFS!!!

He’s a fool.

Did he say racism has no place in Missouri? So where are many of the residents there relocating to? How about Hawley?

COSTCO is next. Count on it.

Omg, this guy focuses on everything except what we need. He doesn’t want racism? I call BS. I live in SW MO. It’s rampant. And it sure as hell isn’t coming from Starbucks.

Sounds like something my AG Ken Paxton would do!

They are so wrong..

the missouri ag has got nothing better to do 🙄

Hmmm. This is very novel.

time to spit in his coffee

Is there a class they're taking for this stupidity? How to be a lemming? A sheep? This is ridiculous. I'm calling his office today. What a waste of his daddy's sperm.

The war on women never ends

Interesting 🤔 bias prejudice angle he went for.

Disgusting. Beating my head against the proverbial wall when I keep repeating- we had a better choice.

Counter sue.

Can we deport him somewhere? Anywhere buy here.

Only white men are supposed to have jobs now. They don't have to be good, mind you. Just male and white.

Don’t forget straight and “Christian”.

So insane! Also so horrible that it’s come to this!! How this could be happening here is beyond comprehension

Wow! And they accuse us of wasting taxpayer money!

Only Starbucks? 🤔 Why not sue every company in MO who employ women?? Ya know…. for efficiency. 🙄

It really pisses me off that my tax dollars are being wasted on his performative politics. How about doing something useful like going after payday lenders who are ripping off Missouri consumers?

He is THE MOST worthless piece of shit.

What the hell I hope they hold the line! I’m tired of all this capitulating going on

Hey Doge….. CHOP THIS SHIT WASTE

Something tells me we won't be able to fix what's going on at the national level until we fix what's going on in red states.

I agree to an extent. Both things need to be crippled simultaneously.

Hahahaha

This has a very distinct purpose: strong arm companies into hiring more and more white people and do away with any act that doesn’t give white people an advantage

Oh my.... I can't stand Bailey! He has nothing better to do?!?! Nothing?!?! WE HAVE A SEX TRAFFICKING ZONE IN OUR STATE. There's a back log of missing people. Rape cases. Homelessness. And this is what he focuses on?! Sick. Rot in hell you dirtball.

This bitch also executed an innocent man last year. Over the objections of every party involved in the original trial. Including the victims family.

WTAF?! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Un-effing-believable!

Come to Texas. Our AG will just send his thugs to burn down SB. We are very progressive in our Fascism here.

WTAFFF

omg

These people don’t want women and blacks in the workplace

Now do Jo-Ann Fabrics! They need to be taken down a peg….

Textbook doublespeak.

We've ventured through the looking glass.

Absolutely frivolous. Opportunists will take advantage of the illegal, immoral and unethical actions of the Trump administration and apply that behavior where it benefits them. So sad and so unneeded.

So he thinks only white men should work there? What is WRONG with people?!

This asshole never stops. He's like the Devin Nunes of AG's.

Loser case…

Why hasn't he filed a suit over Starbucks anti-union activities?

Oh you're looking for government waste, look no further than the Missouri AG who spends $$$ on frivolous law suits for ridiculous right-wing issues. I'm not sure he's won one yet. 🤔

This hiring trend has been going on for how long, and she just now thinks it's an issue worth addressing, hm? Did it just magically become a problem? I'd LOVE to see how many times she went to Starbucks during her time as AG.

Wow, I wondered what would happen after dei initiatives were pulled. It’s the Handmaid’s Tale.

Equal deprivation for all

Is Missouri attorney general out of his lane, suing Starbucks for its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives? Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. bsky.app/profile/nanc...

Omg what he going after, the 10 starbucks in the state?

I'd laugh my ass off if Starbucks closes shop in the state.

Your AG is giving my AG (Paxton) a run for his money.

What an Asshole! And a complete waste of taxpayers money.

Living in Missouri is a real kick in the balls, isn’t it, Jess? (I’m in Springfield…we’ve grown our share of winners…)

"anti-racism," I assume. Colorblind? Or wait, no, CRT! DEI? Look at all those synonyms I put together.

What a 🐷 🖕

What? People have lost their minds.

WTF!! Trump and 2025 loyalists think they can do anything they want now that their shitler is back in power. We have to fight him on all fronts.

Your state is racist and crazy.

That’s really, really stupid. I’m sorry.

So there isn’t other pressing matters to worry about? Our AG here in Iowa is going after Costco and a local Sheriff. The Sheriff won’t detain ICE detainees unless they have proper paperwork . He’s upholding the 4th and 6th amendments and our gov is threatening to withhold state funding to the county

Facts! The governor here sucks and has signed an order stating business must comply and she is implementing DOGE efforts for the state. We are the south of the Midwest.

A mockery of the law. Giving everyone an opportunity for employment without regard to ethnicity is not the opposite.

I can't stand that attention seeking whore

I hate Starbucks but I hope they counter sue for defamation.

Now they're complaining there isn't enough DEI?

Ok. I’m going out on a limb here…Can citizens legally file cases like this against our governmental legislative bodies? They are all predominantly white and male and are completely inefficient and causing consumers to pay more and wait longer for governmental services.

Because all white guys are looking for a job at Starbucks.

WTF? I hope everyone in Missouri calls the AG in protest!

God he makes me sick

This is the most stupid, misogynistic, racist shit I’ve ever seen!

wOW 😳

OK and MO are racing to the bottom!

Where IS Luigi?

I thought Starbucks could hire who they wanted to hire.

nah, the Free Market® "Small Govt" want to micromanage them.

But I thought they liked blacked women serving them coffee.

WTF?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Seems a great use of taxpayer money.

Have fun AG while you knee cap Starbucks candidate pool. So goddamn discriminatory and counter productive

It’s exhausting here.

Nothing screams racism like inclusion and equality.

I’m very Sure mine will follow. He’s nothing if not a media whore.

What an ahole.

Fuck these people sideways. If we ever manage to get back into power, it's time for punishment. And not the imaginary punishment they think they've been suffering since the Reconstruction era.

This is one of the most insane things I've heard yet. Is there a law we don't know about that says straight white men must be in the majority in every American company? What happens when they run out? Does he know that 2.4 million more women than men go to college in the US today?

So he wants his coffee served by men...white men? He wants to be rude and cheap to white men who serve him coffee. Seems like a kink I might not advertise. Just hire a guy.

We know they will be able to prove the hires were justified. They were looking for hardworking, honest people, with a heart for service.

Well that's an efficient use of of your tax dollars, isn't it? I am sure there are so many white males clamoring over themselves to work at Starbucks, but were turned down so they could hire less qualified women and minorities

Some folks just can’t handle anyone not male or white apparently

He’s still angry about being passed over for the barista gig — but let’s face it — some dudes just don’t have the skills to pour a decent cappuccino. Or be a decent person.

D'Oh. I thought he was doing the right thing when I first read that. Guess not. Glad he's my AG🙄

We are in the Upside Down

Then guess they’ll be short staffed. Better yet lose customers

I bet many women now realize they were DEI hires. And, the law will ensure white men get their jobs. The only protected job is that of the white man? Omg! To use the law in this is blatant racism.

White MAGAt meth heads not looking to make coffee drinks at Starbucks.

I thik we should call him BEETLE Bailey.

What in the good grief are they wasting ALL our money on with this racist - sexist crap

Just emailed him. What a tool bag.

Of course he did. It's what he does best.🙄

Happy International Day of Women in Science. Flagged words include women and female Who is going to bear pregnancies now? Or are they invisible, and we are back to looking for babies in the cabbage patch?

Apparently Andrew Baily is totally insane. Figure it out Missouri.

Good lord. 🤬

I'm sad the asteroid isn't until 2032.

Ready for the rapture to suck them off the earth

Conservatives: WOMEN! You shouldn’t be in the board room! You should be a kitchen making food! Women: ok I’ll be at the Starbucks making delicious coffee Conservatives: NOT LIKE THAT

🤬

JFC!

He probably has no issue with people like that picking cotton back in the day, or doing low paid jobs like farm work today, smdh......

Beyond belief, your state has no money for lawsuits this dumb.

Oh shit, you have a Rokita

Another waste of money.

JUDGE: Mr AG…who has the necessary traits to best be manage kitchens, prepare food and be servants to others as in God’s plan for the sexes? AG: Women. JUDGE: Case dismissed, the AG just stated he believes the hires were based on merit…oh, and that he is an A1 Asshole.

Well at least he wears his racism for everyone to see

A lot of white men want to work as baristas now? What with all these great agricultural jobs opening up?

Free enterprise party.

I'm so sorry.

Bailey is a dipwad that got his job when the prior dipwad was elected senator…. Trying hard to figure out why I still live in Missouri. Not coming up with much…

Maybe he wants to be a barista.

Oh lord... thanks for sharing.

I’ll call his office tomorrow

Might I suggest reporting this government inefficiency? www.senate.mo.gov/committeefor...

But by the very nature of what he is doing is discrimination against women and people of color

Another MAGAt, trying to punish people for being fair!

So they need to fill their quota of white men. Thought quotas are bad

All while claiming “discrimination”

Have you thought about running against him? We need people to stand up and fight.

Holy shit!

at low wages

White men are fragile

There’s a large population of immigrant farm workers in Missouri. I notice he’s not suing Missouri’s corporate farming operations for failing to hire enough white men. This is a stunt.

Finally, some justice for white people. 🤮

Insanity

It all gets more cruel and ludicrous by the day..

Has he lived in Missouri long?

Missouri AG: "citing new Chief Executive Brian Niccol's support of environmental, social and governance goals while leading the Chipotle burrito chain." So caring about people & the environment is the basis for investigating them for criminal discrimination? Source: www.reuters.com/legal/starbu...

OMG! No words.

Stop being woke snd mean to white men so unfair! youll be sorry!
