Today on Labor Day, we must recognize the workers across the country who build our economy and strengthen our nation. We need to fight for a living wage and stronger unions as we work to reindustrialize America.
Checks notes: and trying to deport children to another country unaccompanied in the middle of the night in a holiday weekend hopping the media didn’t notice.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Legitimate governments don’t put hundreds of children on planes out of the country in the middle of the night on a three-day weekend.
This man is an authentic American hero A Black man facing armed federal agents to stand up for his youth baseball team. Brave. www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
Same day the Epstein victims will be speaking out on the steps of the capital. Don’t let trump change the narrative of this day.
This is what I came to say!!! For a bankrupted guy sure does have quite the staff
Someone gave Grampy his sleepy meds
lol now he’s not using all caps because of GCN 😂 so he’ll just capitalize every first letter of the whole paragraph 😂
He negotiated a plea to impersonate trump. More makeup than when he did drag shows, but it was worth the nice federal work release Room he shares with Maxwell
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Rest up champ, we need you in fighting shape!
Dig this guy's style. Chaz Langley, the man behind the camera, runs a great Instagram account if you like street style. Unfortunately had to clip the video bc Bluesky only allows 3mins (developers pls change this!) IG langleyseye and iamsuedeofficial
“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
WWIII
Fuck yeah!!!
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Here's an old, unmasked photo of 7880. He's worked for the Chicago ICE field office since at least 2018 (when these photos were posted). If you believe you know his name, please reach out.

What about all the SpaceX debris spread out along the Gulf of Mexico? Will he collect that and refuse it?
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
This and since when does this administration follow court orders?
“The mannequin hit me in the arm“
Super Dud.
Like Ivana? Damn and still on the 18th hole
OMGGGG my best friend @tenth-muse.com got me a personalized message from my favorite social media cat MERV!! #MervTheCat DON’T SUMMON BAGAGAWA!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just in time for Labor Day!!
Neighbors just buried their dog in the yard yesterday… what can I get for a chihuahua carcass?
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
Because he’s immature AF and adults can’t stand him. Teenage boys think he’s cool cause he can buy booze and ketamine.
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
America has fallen.
A great point, and I fear we know why: they don't anticipate there will be elections going forward—or if there are, their outcome will be structurally predetermined. This administration doesn't appear to have any expectation that it will ever be hamstrung or out of power. Not in 2026, not in 2028.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Excellent question.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Ask my conservative Dad how that worked out for him..
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Omg. I don’t know how he did that. I am crying. Sending his family so much strength and love.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
Funny (not really) my husband just said this am that my son needs new Lego. Now I have an excuse to say no
she slayed www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...
Don’t look away
But it seems they are just as brain washed
So many accidents possible… polonium tea, a flight of stairs (like Ivana), an open window (like Artur Priakhin)…. And many more.
Someone please give that woman a security detail!
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
I wanted to have an intervention on my husband the other day and put him in the mirror room from what not to wear. He wore a long sleeve striped dress shirt with a board shorts with a check print. New balance tennys and mid calf socks. And when he dresses my son 😳😳😳
You prefer trousers so small they can be drowned in the bathtub?

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Sadly, Americans largely haven't traveled outside of the states enough to recognize just HOW fcking bad this is.
Anyone else notice a pattern in the government officials Trump is firing?
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
The Roadless Rule is one of our most important conservation safeguards, protecting forests from the bulldozer and chainsaw. The move to gut this protection is a handout to logging interests at the expense of clean water, wildlife, and local communities. www.rawstory.com/roadless-rule/
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
How am I suppose to send my 3yo to school in 2 years? Can someone explain this to me? How the fuck am I suppose to send him off to school and wonder if he’s coming home? This country is sick.

Now that we know guns don’t actually prevent an authoritarian government, can we maybe do something about the fact that children keep getting murdered while in school?
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
😂😂
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
Correction…. Republicans
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
Another Republican mass shooting event where children have been killed. This is not the party of life

And one day when he’s 30,I will long for the nights when I had to hold him till he fell asleep.
I remember so many times holding my son and thinking to my self, “he will never be this small again. He will never need me as much as he needs me today” it’s easy to get caught in the moments the frustration or loneliness of modern day parenting & always tried to remember that each moment will pass
What will your baby remember about infancy? I was so touched by the caption that mckynlee.mckell used to accompany this video shared to IG: “These little moments that they won’t remember, but I’ll never forget.” And it’s true… at least in part. 🧵
I spent the weekend in Delhi. What the locals showed me shocked me. I promised I would share it with the world as just like the dogs they are voiceless youtu.be/6wgTYH6Te20?...
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.
Who did this?
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
