If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

I love Bette
This was spotted on a protest sign today and is too good not to share. It is spot-on.
I donāt know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her districtā¦
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
This literally makes me physically ill. Itās incomprehensible that kids today still canāt connect the dots of current white mob mentality with all of the racist violence (lynchings, mass murders, etc) that have occurred in our countryās history with exactly this type of othering and escalation. š
Ditto.
Likewise, @epartnow.bsky.social š Looking forward to seeing your work. #StrongerTogether #Resist
Thank you for including me! šš¤āļø
New EP coming out next Friday. Hereās a sample of the first track, a tribute to every strong, fierce woman whoās had to deal with horrible behavior from horrible men and has come out even stronger on the other side. āYou canāt collar the queen.ā š #MusicSky #MusicianSky #Songwriter #NewMusic #Resist
Itās a rare occurrence to completely agree with a post, a comment on that post, AND the response to that comment. Kudos to both of you.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the āpathological irony of crisisā: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
The number of comments here completely missing the context of āRed Stateā as a limited state of mind and āachievementā as something we ALL celebrate is astounding. š¤¦āāļø
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Fatality.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages shouldāve made that very clear.
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.
šÆ District 9 is a perfect movie that deserves a continuation. Itās easily the most empathetic movie ever made (on our planet at least).
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Whatās even dumber is that they also couldāve just flipped each brick over and set them back into place (bricks are exactly the same on the opposite side). You already have to be really ignorant to be a bigot but this is also the most illogically expensive way to practice bigotry. š¤¦āāļø
As with most mental health issues, therapy can/could helpā¦the irony is that most narcissists refuse to even seek a diagnosis. So, yupā¦šÆ
š¤¦āāļøRFK Jr is such a dangerous and illogical moron (as is this entire administration). His assertion makes about as much sense as blaming air traffic radar for vehicular homicides.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
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.
Seriously. If dumb people who donāt understand the difference between land mass and actual votes love colorful graphics this much, every stateās voting percentages should only be shown as a pie chartā¦dumb people love pie too.

In addition to the clearly troubling footage, Iām equally struck by the person shouting āthe Lord sees allā because, nopeā¦obviously not. Itās just us here and weāre shitting the bed more everyday on making the world a better place for everyone.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; itās the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
Itās a symptom of the blindly loyal āyeah, but heās our assholeā mindsetā¦itās like they just heard their favorite song through different speakers and suddenly decided they didnāt like it.
This brings to mind one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. āThe leaders of the free world are just little boys throwing stones.āš¤¦āāļø youtu.be/r4sqfwCrT7I?...
The pathetically butt-hurt feelings and white male fragility presented here make me equal parts extremely uncomfortable and delightfully giddy. What a sad and desperate dingus.
Couldnāt read the entire piece since itās through a paywall not recognized by my Apple News subscription (which includes your publication) but many of us had the same hope for social media and ālaughing the bad ideas out of the roomā back in 2010. Nope. That ship has sailedā¦and it sunk.
Don't poke the bear.
People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. š¤
Agreed, butā¦ itās important to point out that your parenthetical āfrom both partiesā comes across like a tragically typical inversion of Trumpās āgood people on both sidesā statement after Charlottesvilleā¦there is no factual or historical comparison to Trump and the damage heās done and is doing.
Iāve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but heās handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. š¤£š¤£š¤£
I said 'help the homeless' not 'criminalize homelessness' you absolute goblins.
Not meā¦I actually got so uncomfortable that I wrote a song about it. open.spotify.com/track/5cbF1Q...
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
This dumb dingus (whoās also likely divorced and/or single) self-defeats his own line of reasoning 3-4 times in a row within just a couple of minutes. The blatant misogyny is cringy and infuriating enough but the cognitive dissonance is absolutely maddening. JFC. š¤¦āāļø
I teamed up with @repdexteror.bsky.social to introduce the CLEAR ID Act because ICE shouldn't be allowed to hide behind masks and unmarked carsāespecially not on the taxpayerās dime. (1/2)

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
ā¦the sports equivalent of changing the rules and refs mid-game because you know you suck and youāll never be as good as your opponent.
šÆ Weāre essentially facing the oil-burning lamp industry trying to kill the lightbulb industry out of nothing but jealousy, laziness, and greed.
Exactly. According to Matthew 22:21, Jesus addressed the separation of church and state pretty pointedly (āRender therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesarās, and unto God the things that are Godāsā). These MAGA morons thrive on blurred lines, revisionist history, and skewed reality.
A very long 4 years...
I have a new audio announcement for August 22. Itās an exclamatory exploration of current events expressed through spoken-word, gothic accompaniment, and angry alliteration a la artists such as Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and Leonard Cohen. #Music #MusicSky #IndieMusic #NewMusic #Resist
Thou shalt not let them replace PBS with Prager U.
Thanks so much for including me, @maplemama20.bsky.social! Hope you feel better soon! š
Here's my 46th Sp. Filled with awesome resisters. Old and new! Find some new friends here! I've just been diagnosed with a lung infection. So I won't be on much in the next few days. Really not feeling well. Had to get my Friday pack out tho couldn't miss a Friday! go.bsky.app/MCSybxb
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
The rich donāt spend the money they have, and the poor donāt have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isnāt just the right thing to do. Itās essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
Aināt that the truth Gawd what were people thinking with these Megalomaniacsš¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļøš¤·š½āāļø
Fully agree. Itās supposed to be as subjective as oneās response to the art itself. A good fit as a personal hero and a good fit as an admired body of work are obviously very different things but that common thread is there. I know plenty of people who disagreeā¦and thatās kind of the point.
You arenāt herā¦judging someone else as if we have any idea what itās like to be them and experience the things theyāve experienced instead of simply offering them a compassionate, listening ear is at the root of whatās wrong with humanity right now.
The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82. Am I doing this right?
Gerrymandering: the art of mathematically disproving majority rule.
Trump probably got the idea after another hallucinated discussion with his ānuclear, chemical, and mathā uncle.
This is basically John Wayne Gacy complaining that Ted Bundy took one of his victims.
WU-TANG FOREVER šš½
The fact that they want to relitigate this and not the Epstein case is not only telling, itās just plain dumbā¦this is essentially a group of bank robbers who got away with it deciding to show back up and open accounts with the marked bills they stole.
We need to stop acting like ignorance is a virtue and competence is a flaw. open.substack.com/pub/schwabfo...
FUN FACT: TACOās acts of pedophilia with his buddy Epstein are NOT covered by presidential immunity.
I now have a dash cam and a bumper sticker announcing it for this very reasonā¦itās amazing how calmly and safely people start driving if they know theyāre on camera.
Live look at Mike Johnson closing down Congress so he doesnāt have to vote on releasing the Epstein files.
I feel like at some point you can't even blame the conspiracy theorists for having broken brains. god is gaslighting them
šÆ
It would be a shame if it caught on...
Letās be real, most men are creepsā¦itāll most likely be a āher.ā
Tulsi Gabbard looking like a Marvel villain is something I can't unsee.
Porn Scornea.
āNative citizenry?!ā Itās almost as if this home-schooled racist dingleberry doesnāt even know whose land heās actually sitting on.
30+yr contractor here. Exterior surface installations (and some aspects of exterior finish work) are about the only things I can see getting fully automated any time soon (the safety aspects make those the most important anyway). Most aspects of interior work are just too intricate and specialized.
No wonder they are desperately trying to distract us
Yeah, I donāt get it or any of the other under-bus throwing and infighting thatās been happening on the progressive side lately. She is and always has been a fighter, with far more integrity than most elected officialsā¦actually, most people in general.
Exactly. In fact, I firmly believe a true gig economy built on self-employment would solve nearly every problem weāre currently facing (emphasis on the ānearlyā).
Two things: Reciprocally following back is what most people (who arenāt actually famous) do and, whether or not that was sincere enthusiasm or a sarcastic shitpost, it wasā¦a lot.
A few others but thatās definitely the main reason. Most voters unfortunately only care about whatās directly affecting their lives and only pay attention to the news during election seasons.
Well, at least you canāt say I didnāt try.š¤¦āāļø
I really wish world leaders had been prosecuted for the invasion of Iraq, I think the world would be an immeasurably better place if there had been consequences
sometimes everything going on in the world makes sense when you realize the average person just doesnāt know anything
Who else thinks we should ban members of Congress from trading stocks?
The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and weāre supposed to pretend itās perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with todayās political mainstream media.
I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.
ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). Iāll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. šš»
I agree with a lot of that, especially the getting tricked into fighting over trivial BS while we get robbed and our planet gets destroyed part. I actually have a new EP about that called The One-Body Problem thatās coming out in a few weeks. Also, you have a new follower (for nowā¦weāll see). āļø
I tend to take it one situation at a time but everyoneās different (just this week I got blocked for fully agreeing with someone and then trying to make an additional point). People are pretty raw and sensitive right now so I just do my best to keep it civilā¦thanks for doing the same.
Iām not sure how I got YOU off trackā¦youāre the one who tried to use cheese (and its āpowerā) as a metaphor for the 3 main world religions. But yeah, we basically agree that the perfect shouldāve never been the enemy of the better in the last election.
Starting to sound like we might agree (no one should be able to force someone else to adopt their hierarchy of values), other than the fact that youāre still apparently convinced that certain things (āAbrahamic religionsā and cheese) somehow have inherent value (which would defeat your argument).
Youāre right, this isnāt supposed to be that hardā¦not everyone likes cheese (gives me night sweats).
I bet you donāt understand the difference between a joke that makes most people laugh and an annoying provocation that makes most of us roll our eyes.
