He's completely incoherent in the interview (referring to 2 hospitals in NY as being closed that are open), but he notes that psychiatric hospitals were too costly to operate before...but he's willing to open them again. Just to get mentally ill off the street. 🤯 🧾 share.google/nJf9VVyIG5mO... 1/2
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Hello frens, the weather tricked us and while it wasn’t particular cold or rainy it was very cloudy today ☁️. But the human had told us we could go out on the paddleboard so that’s what we did! 🧵 #DogsOfBlueSky
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

Remember when she was too scared to come out of hiding if I was home? Now, she comes up close to me and asks for pets 🥰

We are already suing Ohio.
Here’s where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.

The Women was released on this day in 1939. Praise be.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
I had to stop because of a med that I'm on, but I used to love getting the notification when my platelets had been used by someone. You feel like a hero. They also pay you in cookies.

Good never mattered.
Amen.
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
x.com/destinationX... The niqab is not a symbol of faith - it is a tool of oppression. It reduces women to faceless shadows, stripping them of individuality, dignity, and humanity. When a woman’s face is erased, she is objectified, dehumanized - and in that void, men feel absolved of responsibility.

Attention Chicago: We will NOT be meeting at Federal Plaza. We now will be meeting at Ida B Wells and Michigan. Time and date depends on the arrival time of the troops: IF TROOPS ARRIVE BEFORE 3PM, PROTEST SAME DAY AT 5PM. IF TROOPS ARRIVE AFTER 3PM, PROTEST NEXT DAY AT 5PM.

#LaborDay Boston. So many union tshirts!
RIP sir... a huge talent. "Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73."
Giddyup!
@marcelias.bsky.social Give them Hell, Marc!
Good night 💤🌙
This Labor Day, I stand shoulder to shoulder with the hardworking people who built this country, and continue to keep it moving forward. As a proud Firefighter, Paramedic, and IAFF Union Member, I know firsthand the value of collective action, fair wages, and safe working conditions. #LaborDay
NEWS: Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler, 78, will not seek re-election
You are a very talented artist! Wow. Happy birthday to your Gran!
It’s my Gran’s birthday today (84!) Here’s an oil painting I did of her a few years back during lockdown #oilpainting #artist
It is in within the realm of possibility that with Chicago poised to be overrun you could have Illinois law enforcement and Federal troops clashing I hope not but it cannot be discounted
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
I love this guy

Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Or the change the whole story and do crazy casting like in Master and Commander. Read books! So superior!
Unfortunately, much like Dune, Frankenstein is one of those books that people claim they have read because they think watching one of the adaptations counts as reading the book. It doesn't. There is so much nuance in those books that are glossed over in the adaptations that NEEDS to be experienced
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
An absolute icon. RIP to a trailblazer in film. #GrahamGreene #Filmsky
It feels so good just to look at the sky.... Enjoy #thelittlethings 💙🫶 #BlueSkyMonday #sky #clouds #photography #landscape #scape #outdoors #PhotographersUnited #nature #ArtYear #photohour #stormhour #EastCoastKin

Happy Labor Day! ✊📰 Across the country, NewsGuild members are winning strong contracts, fighting layoffs and building power on the job. Our victories this year prove what happens when journalists and media workers stand together. Solidarity today and every day. 💪
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
The consistent embarrassment is beyond anything that the rational mind can fathom…
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Labor Day in Nevada County! Powerful message 💙

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's claim that CBS News edited her interview to hide a criminal's MS-13 gang affiliation is incorrect. The full transcript shows she made the claim. CBS added an editor's note that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been charged with gang-related crimes.
Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I'm sorry to hear. I hate to say it but I thought something was happening with him the last time I saw him testify years ago now. Wishing him good days.
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The treadmill screening of ‘THE LONG WALK’ took place, where every person had to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie. If they stopped, they were escorted out of the theater.
Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!

RFK Jr. is "like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and he's ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire," says Michigan Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Damn!
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Ditto.
Dogs are amazing! ❤️🐕🐾 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Just got back from a morning and afternoon protest. There were fewer folks there than on 4th of July. It's not for everyone. For starters, it's not for folks who doubt Trump will declare martial law. Hope to see you next time. Mobilize.us and Fiftyfifty.one
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
Last night, at the final show of her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, Cyndi Lauper brought out Joni Mitchell (for “Carey”), Cher (“Girls Just Want To Have Fun”), SZA (“True Colors”), John Legend (“Time After Time”), and more. www.stereogum.com/2321337/cynd...

It’s my birthday, and my debut novel The Harmony just launched. I’ll save the full launch post for later, but I wanted a moment here for myself. I never thought I’d publish a work of fiction and at 45, I’m only just getting started. Happy birthday to me! a.co/d/1aNb0Kw
