🔥Happy Labor Day evening, Resisters! Tom Arnold came on the show and just lit up Trump, Epstein, Mark Burnett and the entire MAGA comedy scene. Crack a beverage and PRESS PLAY: youtu.be/-wwqiLAXBCY?...

Again and again, he's proudly been on the right side of history, even when it was tough.
It's unsurprising coming from a man who has spent his career fighting the good fight, from government surveillance and privacy protections to the environment to LGBTQ equality to abortion protections to voting rights to protections for immigrants to equitable health care access to labor rights.
That's what leadership looks like.
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)

#LaborDay #Pinks “This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history,” said Mike Podhorzer, a former political director of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. “There’s not another time when that many people lost their union.” #GiftArticle www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...

“I had high hopes for the ICEBlock app, so it’s a shame that the developer is both overly confident and doesn’t know what he’s doing” - @micahflee.com The @iceblock.app has 1+ million users. They’re the people on Bluesky, joining @50501movement.bsky.social and attending @teslatakedown.com rallies.
This is Kaniela Ing, a public speaker that brings opposing sides together. He has a great message & I think most of us can agree on his stance but who’s going to tell the billionaires & corporate leaders that they are ruining our planet & human lives? It’s a great message. Hope they’re listening.

On May 9, 1970, Reuther, his wife and four others were killed when their chartered jet crashed on approach to a small airport in Michigan. The official cause was an instrument malfunction, but some speculate foul play. Reuther was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995. /end
As a liberal Democrat, Reuther was an influential advisor to JFK and LBJ. He helped advocate for landmark legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Peace Corps. A lifelong environmentalist, Reuther and the UAW were crucial in funding and organizing the first Earth Day in 1970. /7
Reuther was a powerful and visible ally of the Civil Rights Movement, marching with Martin Luther King Jr. and helping to fund the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Coretta Scott King later eulogized him, stating, “He was there in person when the storm clouds were thick.” /6
In 1946, Reuther was elected president of the UAW and served in that position until his death in 1970. He transformed the UAW into one of the most progressive labor unions in the U.S. Auto workers’ standard of living doubled under his leadership, with substantial increases in pay and benefits. /5
After returning to Detroit, he became a key organizer for the nascent United Auto Workers union, leading successful sit-down strikes, including a major victory against GM in 1937. He was also famously beaten by Ford’s security guards during the “Battle of the Overpass” in 1937. /4
In the 1930s, Reuther and his brother Victor embarked on a three-year world tour, which included working in a Soviet car factory. This experience made him a fierce opponent of communism, though his opponents often baselessly accused him of being a communist sympathizer. /3
Born into a socialist and union-activist family, Reuther was imbued with a passion for social and economic justice from a young age. After starting as a tool and die maker in his teens, he moved to Detroit and joined Ford Motor Co. He was fired in 1932 for his socialist organizing activities. /2
#ResistanceRoots Walter Reuther was born on this day in 1907 in Wheeling, W.V. A highly influential and progressive American labor leader and civil rights activist, Reuther believed that labor movements should advance social justice and human rights as well as the economic interests of workers. /1

Well that's some Gilded Age. The inhumane way human beings have treated other humans is beyond my grasp. So many times in history, including slavery of course, where one person has treated another with incredibly cold blooded cruelty. We can never allow history to be re-written. #Pinks #ProudBlue

In a recent interview, Governor Pritzker discussed that he believes that Donnie's eagerness to put troops in US cities stems from Donnie's intention to make false claims about the upcoming 2026 elections & would be "an invasion". #PINKS
Well… not anymore.
Happy Labor Day to all the workers in our country, including those who are retired. You have made a difference in so many lives and I hope you realize that! 💙🩷💙 #Pinks #ProudBlue
In a WIN for reproductive rights, Governor Pritzker has signed bill HB 3709 into law. This new law will require all public universities to offer both contraception & abortion meds if the schools have an on campus pharmacy. This law is intended to make these meds more accessible. #Pinks
Growing up in Texas, I was taught America is GREAT b/c it’s the great melting pot. I was taught different cultures are to be CELEBRATED. I didn’t grow up with religion but there was definitely enough around to where I understood the values. I loved the values. HYPOCRISY is all I see now. #Pinks

Happy Labor Day! “Solidarity isn’t just a term; it’s how we’ve achieved every protection that working families have today. The 40-hour workweek, workplace safety laws, and weekends exist because workers stood together and demanded them.” — Charles Barfield, Orange County Employee Association
IT’S HAPPENING! Floridians are painting rainbows around potholes 🌈 It makes rainbows proliferate. 🌈 It increases safety; dangerous spots are more visible. 🌈 And it exposes the absurdity of DeSantis ordering rainbows scrubbed away instead of fixing hazards that put drivers at risk. #RainbowRoad

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

At the May Day Strong protest in Silver Spring, MD, approximately over 200 people on two Beltway overpasses across from each other, demanding #WorkersOverBillionaires and “No Kings!” The crowd was fired up to save our country. We must all rise up, protest, and take action!
With with Bessent’s most optimistic projections, that would take about 27 years.
The White House account on X boasts of “$8 trillion in tariff revenue.” 🤡
Stay for the second post in the thread.
Everything about this regime is gross
The trump administration is using ICE to set traps for documented and undocumented people who go through the required formalities to regularise their status. They go to Court check-ins scared, ignoring if they will ever see their families again. NOT. NORMAL. It is a GROSS ethnic cleansing !

Labor Day, first celebrated in 1882, honors workers’ struggles for fair pay, safety, and dignity. Workers’ rights are under attack today, and anyone who depends on a paycheck is working class—no matter its size. This holiday reminds us solidarity is our strength and fairness belongs to all. #Pinks
Again, wake up America! The war on women is right in your face. #Pinks

It’s too early for me to be laughing like this.💀

Trump sneaking Guatemala children
I saw this hunk of a tree lying in a ditch while I was walking around the village where I live.
Beautiful
The assault on black women in power by this regime must end! If Trump thinks he is going to bully and threaten this organization, he better think again! This pattern of abuse that is snaking through this country has gone on long enough!
Keep dumbing things down. That’s the Project 2025 plan in action!

Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.

This #LaborDay, Democrats celebrate American workers and the unions that stand for fair wages and workers' rights protections. Never forget that Trump and MAGA Republicans want unions destroyed so they can exploit workers to benefit their billionaire friends. Stay union-strong, America! 🇺🇸
The last time Donald Trump showed his face live in front of the press was Tuesday, August 26th, during a marathon three-hour cabinet meeting. Maybe all that staged roundtable praise from his sycophants was too much for him.
Bogus
The only thing I have to say about this Rudy Giuliani story is that he was disabarred for aggressively and constantly lying about Trump winning the 2020 election
It's the only home for a radical progressive. They are still Americans. They believe in Liberty and Justice for All. All people are created equal. And the future doesn't scare them. Too bad they lack the vision and guts to make us the America we should be. To much to expect a FDR, JFK, another Obama
I am a Democrat because I genuinely want to make our country and world a better place, and we are the only people who want to do that. Literally. Anyone who isn't is dedicated to hatred and evil and destruction.
So you’re a Democrat because you believe that democrats will vote to make minority rights equal to majority rights. You also believe that the government should subscribe to the Warren court model of fundamental rights directed at necessities and equal opportunity. Did I get that right?
I believe guns kill people. I believe health care, housing and food should be fundamental rights. I believe our current president orchestrated an insurrection against the United States and should be prosecuted and convicted of crimes against the US.
I’m a democrat because I believe that science matters, Black lives matter, Trans lives matter, truth matters. I believe we need to ensure all POC, all LBGTQ+ and all women must have the same rights and opportunities the privileged white straight males have enjoyed since the founding of this country.
This is what I’m trying to get to the bottom of. When I was a candidate, I spent hundreds of hours calling donors who would not donate unless I was their type of Democrat. So if you were a Democrat, what would that mean?
I’ll go first: I’m a democrat because I believe in a more expansive interpretation of the preambles language that says that the government should “provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.”
