Thank you, Patty, and keep up the pressure!
The Everglades Concentration Camp costs 3x one of these trains.
Oh please leave Ukraine alone!
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Press conference before congress takes up Epstein stuff—starts at 1030a eastern, so soon.
The backstory to Newsom’s rant
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Fox News is Trump’s own personal vehicle, making everything worse
Awful, awful loss
Congress is back in session and Epstein survivors speak out. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news...
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Action item for anyone in Michigan. Thank you, Mallory McMorrow!
A truly kind gesture. Thank you, CA
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
This is the most important Epstein news. Spread the word.
Far-reaching effects that don’t make the news. THANK YOU FEMA for what you’re still trying to do.
A great goal for us going forward
Beautiful and a wonderful mantra. Thanks.
Putin is sneaking around again and stealth-attacking the head of the EU. China is uniting India and Russia. The axis of the world is burying the U.S. Thanks, Donnie-Johnnie.
John McCutcheon’s “Labor Day,” In history books I often find That children worked in mill and mine No time to play, to learn, or grow Just send 'em in or down below Today too many have forgot The goals for which our parents fought When I grow up I hope to be As strong as those who fought for me
Trump needs to be done
STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
It wasn’t until 1938—more than a half century after the Haymarket Riot and the national strikes for eight-hour workdays—when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which limited the workweek to 44 hours, and then amended the law two years later to 40 hours.
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.
Some astonishing omissions by Eric Loomis in his Times oped on labor 👉 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o... Not that unions & all of us don't need to do more--we do But the essay ignores the substantial efforts that unions have undertaken that I chronicle here👇1/x open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
52 of 53 Republican senators voted to confirm him.
Concerned citizens have our backs.
There are people in public life clearly and accurately stating the danger to America at this bizarre moment. Those people need support from every Conservative and Liberal American who find our Constitution worth preserving.
Wow, this is terribly cruel and irresoonsible
Japan could be a model for the rest of us…..if the administration cared
Something is developing
Oh, Vance does not have the charisma that Trump does. I dingy think he’ll be able to hold things together.

Vote and constantly voice our opinions. Vote and work for what we want to see. I’m afraid we in this country think our job is done when we cast out ballot.
Actually she won. The votes were tampered with via Musk’s satellites. Unusual and extreme numbers of downballot dem votes but not for her, esp in swing states. Other weird anomalies.
What ARE reliable “red” sources? Anybody?
Detouring past Starbucks, always
Now this bad day is behind you. May you find calm after the storm!
Yesssss
Whoa. *needle scratch*
This is awful!
Chris seems to nail it, often
He’s pissing people off all around the world. Can we wait till we have a leg. majority, or is it time for 25th amendment?
OPINION by @noahbookbinder.bsky.social: “The fact is, while this may feel like a new normal, nothing about it is normal, and it’s a real problem worthy of the American people’s attention.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Retired military and active-duty Ohio families spoke out against Gov. Mike DeWine recently deploying Ohio National Guard troops to Washington D.C. at the request of President Donald Trump. via @ohiocapitaljournal.com
In case you missed this story from late yesterday, Dems scored a definitive upset victory in Iowa - in a district Trump had won by more than 11 points - as Catelin Drey defeated the Republican in a state special election. This was significant in that it broke a GOP supermajority.
Thoughts And Prayers again
Great rhetorical point, excellent speech by pritzker
What?? Not his purview!
Yes, it will all be him
Trump does NOT own all the stuff he’s messing with
Jen and I are heartbroken and praying for the children, teachers, and families devastated by the senseless and heinous attack at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. We stand with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community in this time of grief.
They held out against Trump in 2020
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Praying for of all those affected by today’s horrific shooting in Minnesota, injuring and killing innocent young people who were simply starting their school year. We are all too accustomed to awful news like this, but must never accept such suffering and loss as normal.
Trump just hung a giant portrait of himself over the Department of Labor building, claiming he puts "American Workers First." Take it from a former Secretary of Labor: Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about working people. https://youtu.be/ARL5VvYJUe8?feature=shared
I think it would be useful, esp Ukrainian and Spanish, might draw more participants from those countries, and it would extend the reach of most of our posts (at least what I see) to people around the world

This week’s Recap with Rick comes to you from Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. youtube.com/shorts/vaaCf... @outdooralliance.bsky.social
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Ok, Gavin, you’re getting pretty darn good at this. I hope you have someone close to you who brings you back to reality!
I’ve been having this same question. Critical thinking and a moral compass, baby!
Me too, on West Coast, the 1 and the 2 club so far.

Not what anyone wanted
Epstein files Epstein files Epstein files An interview with Ghislaine is not enough—nothing but a distraction. She lies under oath, part of why she’s in prison
Trump to America: Putin wants peace. Putin to America: Trump is my useful idiot.
The red states who sent troops to DC have now smeared it across the billboard: “We care nothing for our own citizens and their challenges. We care only for our shiny proof to Trump that we will support whatever charade he invents to distract from the EPSTEIN FILES and push fascism along.”
Trump says that DC having a week with no homicides was something that happened "for the first time in memory." The last time that happened was March, where there was a 16-day streak without a homicide.
This is a U.S. congresswoman being imprisoned, basically. I applaud her and I take it as an inspiration that we need to step up at every opportunity.

Oh, I like that! A lot could fit into a 9-hole course, and then they would avoid spraying all those pesticides.
Zelensky sees clearly!
Trump is getting played—and of course he wants to limit mail-in voting. The most secure way of voting.

Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague). This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.
Correct.
To bring this back home.. T may be able to put off the Russia sanctions for a bit but Ep is marching ‘round the corner towards him
I heard that Illinois, NY, and other Dem states are considering just that.
Oh, and let’s not let the Epstein Files get away. Talk it up, folks!

Really sadistic. Unfeeling.
Thank you, Gov Newsom!
This has to stop. The guy was working, and they didn’t check anything. Just grabbed him.
They don’t want this war either! We’d love to have one quarter of Americans turning out..

Read this back in February of this year. Also read 1984/Julia, told from a woman’s pov, and have the original 1984 ready at the library to pick up. Some have seen this coming for a long time.
Yes, I’d like to see visions from others who are better at this than me!
That got me a good chuckle, thanks!
I just started—put up my first-ever video selfie, on elections. Good for a laugh at how bad I am at videos! I’ll get better!
Missive 1–Elections
Share this around. And let’s start talking about what we DO want
Death is too good for that traitor. Maybe death after hours and days of forcing him to watch the cries of the many, many people here and around the world that he has hurt.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
Of course this is the outcome. We are not surprised.
