NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES #LaborDay DAY 31 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Labor Day Weekend Throwback to President Joseph Biden, September 2023. The ONLY President while in office to stand in a picket line Truly cared for the AMERICAN WORKER Trump hates labor #UnionStrong THANK YOU JOE
Truth!👇🏼
😢 now in the USA Meanwhile, this is one of the BANNED History BOOKS many school districts and libraries RED STATE GOVs & school boards removed from their children, adults to read! Bunch of idiots!
Trump fired the real doctors and replaced them with a venture capitalist who pushed horse medicine during COVID. This isn't health policy it's corporate capture disguised as reform. When you put investors in charge of public health, people die for profit margins.

Our precious country and democracy are being blown up by this band of lawless and vile a$$holes. Resist. Resist. Resist.
New Analysis: Using the National Guard against the unhoused population of D.C. costs 4X more than just housing them.
Resistance comes in many forms... good for him
ps_dc NEW: We could house every unhoused person in D.C. for a quarter of the cost of Trump’s D.C. invasion. And that’s not just true in D.C. — it’s true in just about every state in the country. 🔗 Find the new analysis from IPS @nationalpriorities researcher Hanna Homestead at the link in our bio.
Don’t worry guys, we now have an investment banker/former political speech writer with no medical, scientific, or public health training heading the CDC. American will not get healthier with the clown car of unqualified bozos dismantling public health services. We are fucked.

other98 Americans need to understand what's happening at the CDC. There's a purge underway because professionals with years of experience in public health refused to roll over as RFK, Jr. ramps up his war on the COVID vaccine. The foundations of public health in this country are cracking.

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇
Republicans like to pray over problems they caused instead of fixing them.
occupydemocrats 🚨 BREAKING: Mexico’s superstar President Claudia Sheinbaum just humiliated MAGA world by showing what REAL leadership looks like — opening 31 new hospitals and helping lift 13.4 MILLION people out of poverty. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is cutting $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.
Vox America's leading physician groups are now openly defying RFK, Jr.
"Hey look at what I can do!" 😉 #bluesky #nature #animals
When I was a child I was horrified at the the sight of my next door neighbor's leg braces. I was terrified that I would get polio and have to wear leg braces or, be in an iron lung. I remember the relief that I felt when protection became available, and I got vaccinated, RFK JR go f*ck yourself.
My home Internet went kersplat, and I raced to the library for its wifi and ample table outlets for my work laptop. I worked for five hours straight. LIBRARIES. They have been there for me all my life.
Just another week of Trump 2.0 chaos: upheaval at the CDC, an attempted ouster of a Federal Reserve governor, and another attempt to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia blocked. Check out this breakdown of the week's top stories: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/august-29-...
A Georgia Republican election official, James Yokeley Jr. is embroiled in a horrifying criminal scandal as he's accused of trying to drug his granddaughters, ages 14 and 16, by slipping MDMA and cocaine into their Dairy Queen Blizzards. WTF is wrong with all these MAGA men????

Tell me again about your thoughts and prayers - when you walk around Congress like this.
They’re detaining wildfire fighters while on the job. Insanity.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Pass it on
📌“It’s incomprehensible to me that someone who is willing to exploit his own painful family tragedies for publicity would be put in charge of America’s life and death situations." -Caroline Kennedy speaking about cousin, RFK Jr. This isn't new, but is wildly relevant. Fire this grotesque monster.
Thank you, Mayor Frey 💔
When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
The US Air Force is rife with Christian Nationalists who have no interest in the Constitution beyond the Second Amendment.

It's all a charade
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
Anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles found dead in her jail cell and literally there is no mainstream reporting on this. The only reason her name was publicized was b/c @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social put it out there. Justice for Adrienne Villa!
Go vegan!
Some fHarmers show their abusive practices without any shame👺 Believe me this happens on ALL animal fHarms in ALL countries of the world. Most fHarmers know the consumers don’t want to see this. Do you still want to continue supporting animal abuse and slaughter? #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan ✌️
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
This guy, I swear.
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
25th Amendment sounds good
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
rbreich The greatest trick of all is trickle down economics. The upward shift of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That's $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.
I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.
Gracias , 🙏
Many of you have told us that you’re really frustrated with your elected officials. The good news is we’re heading into a primary season where we get to determine the leaders of the Democratic Party.
This isn’t education, it’s indoctrination. The Trump administration gutted PBS and NPR not to save money, but to control the narrative. In their place, PragerU is moving into more classrooms. Already in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Idaho schools.
Apparently learning about the Civil Rights movement is "inappropriate." www.upworthy.com/parents-comp...
Thank you for fighting!
It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...
Nobel Peace Prize? We should send him photos of others who have received theirs. It would get under his skin. Hey @governor.ca.gov Does your team have a meme for that? 🤭
I never thought I would see the day the United States military would rise up against the citizens they swore an oath to protect and defend, on American soil no less. Those who could not protect themselves, homeless people, veterans, no less. Shame on the military.

I urge all Californians to vote to redistrict our maps in response.
I toured a house in Ohio on Lake Erie, it had a hidden staircase that went downstairs where a boat was under the house, hidden from view from out on the lake or from the road. I was told the house used to be a speakeasy, and that was for people smuggling in booze during prohibition.
Round up every last Trumpfascist and put THEM in the alligator camps for treason. Run on that promise. Now THAT would be justice.
A reminder
Mail in voting allows: infirm/elderly too weak to get to polling places to vote. It allows those in hospitals, and nursing homes, to vote. Without mail in voting, none of those millions of people will be able to vote. Magas know they are widely unpopular. The more people who vote, the more Dems win.
Fellow resisters, I have reached another milestone, having reached 23K followers on Bluesky. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and the content that I post, shining a light on the waste, fraud, and abuse of the MAGA dictatorship.
An American President messing with free elections because the leader of Russia told him to, is what we call a Russian Agent.
Look, this is a little outside of my area of expertise, and it’s more of a human health issue than a fisheries sustainability issue But in my professional opinion, you should not eat radioactive shrimp. (And while I have your attention, lots of shrimp are caught or farmed in unsustainable ways)
Eric the dumber.
Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
After mass nationwide boycotts against Target for choosing to end their DEI (diversity equity inclusion) program, they have lost over $12B in sales and the CEO has also officially resigned as a result. Love it, power of the people. 💙👊
Former VP Kamala Harris called Rep. State Representative Nicole Collier, who has been on the House floor for 30+ hours rather than submit to GOP police state tactics. "You are those who history will reveal to have been heroes of this moment." We are watching. #Resist
other98 One of the richest CEOs on Earth walks into the White House, on live TV, hands the President a literal bar of gold like it's some Renaissance bribe, and walks out with a tariff exemption worth millions. You can't make this stuff up.
I for one am concerned.
I loathe him
"Before a photographer could snap pictures, he pulled a copy of 'Mein Kampf' from a bookshelf and turned it around to hide its spine..." “They see right now as a very opportune time. They see a friend in the White House at the highest level...” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/r...
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
In case you aren’t paying attention to the latest in Texas… She has since been given “permission” to go to her office inside the Capitol building but is still not being permitted to leave the building without a police escort. Reminder: She has broken zero laws.
Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor? All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!* *victim's names redacted, of course
