Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Joshua Feuerstein has earned 15 million views for his viral Facebook video claiming that “Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups.” And you know, the guy has a point. We liberals have been mocking the “War on Christmas” for years, but this time maybe we’ve finally gone too far. Take a look at last year’s cup and this year’s cup and you be the judge.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
