Massive turnout for the DC Freedom Run earlier this morning, lots of chanting while running which is a great extra workout. Free DC!
This is how history will remember this period in time.
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
Trump's America is going exactly according to plan; people are just ignoring the fact that it's Putin's plan. We are in the "destabilization of infrastructure" phase. Why else would he sign away the copyright office? Why would he be destroying the CDC? Why would he kill our economy with tariffs?
The cartel gang members were given a red carpet reception. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Right? SO DESPICABLE! When and where are all the drug lords, murderers and rapists getting swooped up by ICE? Straight up racist profiling for dollars and maga hatred. Frigging exhausting. America has become a world pariah.
This has been the question of the hour for the last seven months. Where are the big gang busts? Oh, and are there not gangs made up of those other than Black or Brown? Aren't there Russian gangs in, say, Palm Beach, FL? Or NYC? Surely we won't need armored personnel carriers to make a few busts?
And tell me when the cartel gang members will be deported? Or are we just concerned with musicians? Trump’s America is failing in all levels. Want better? Damn vote better! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks

Trump installed Jeanine Pirro from Fox News as AG in Washington, D.C. What could possibly go wrong? Including "Sandwich Guy"!!! This is a 'gift' article so you can read it: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... National Guard’s moral authority rests on showing up when lives are on the line and then standing down when the crisis ends. …Today, as Americans see Guardsmen deployed in roles that resemble policing, that trust frays. Service members also feel the dissonance.
Frank Bruni is a wonderful writer. This piece is gut-wrenching--it details the absurdity of our times, as the GOP in Congress gives away their constitutional powers, as if they were holding a going-out-of-business sale. All gift articles can be legally shared: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

www.rawstory.com/ceo-compensa... More reasons to elect a CEO as President is that they can run the country like a business is the dumbest statement ever! They will make us all employees, rather than citizens.
People who vote R are suckers.
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
This Labor Day, we honor the generations of working people who built this country and the unions that won us safer workplaces, fair wages, and the weekend. I will always stand with workers and their unions.
The lack of ego Rep. Nadler is showing is a perfect example of putting service before self. This deserves so many props and respect. Thank you, @nadler.house.gov.
America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared
Remember when Republicans wanted Lloyd Austin’s resignation when he went into the hospital for 24 hours and didn’t publicly report it? Keep that in mind here…
Am I the only one who thinks that could actually be a body double? This picture is just so weird to me, and I can't describe why. Conspiracy nuts constantly lied about Biden using doubles... I can totally see the Miller-types in office doing just that. Every accusation is a confession, after all.
5 days and MSM still hasn’t said shit about trump sudden stroke of silence
The media didn’t fear Biden; meanwhile, the platforms are terrified of Trump, whether it’s lawsuits or death threats from his cult.
Am I the only one who remembers when President Biden announced his major government initiative to find a cure for cancer, once and for all? Maybe if MAGA hadn't blocked his second term, it would have gotten done. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/cancermoonsh...
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.

On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
Unprecedented corruption - 1500x what Hunter Biden made from his paintings and going directly to the president.
Your Labor Day reminder that Trump doesn't actually care about working people. Take it from me, a former Secretary of Labor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARL5VvYJUe8
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.

Yeah I am hoping for the same thing everyone is. But, let’s not stop asking for the Epstein files and justice for all the women attacked, trafficked and traumatized by Epstein and his network of filthy old men. Brave victims are giving a presser on Wednesday. We all need to hear and amplify them.
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)
ICE has been going into communities where they’re not wanted and removing people who are wanted. That’s not how freedom or democracy works.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
🚨Let’s hear it for Columbus, Ohio! 🚨
This Labor Day, I stand shoulder to shoulder with the hardworking people who built this country, and continue to keep it moving forward. As a proud Firefighter, Paramedic, and IAFF Union Member, I know firsthand the value of collective action, fair wages, and safe working conditions. #LaborDay
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
NEWS: Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler, 78, will not seek re-election
JFC, Atlantic Monthly. Michelle Obama wanted kids to eat healthy and exercise. She wasn't bent on destroying our federal health agencies.
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
You’re ignorant if - you believe that the government is ‘chipping’ you with vaccines. You’re a ignorant if - you think that the mRNA in a vaccine is manipulating your DNA. You’re a ignorant if - you believe that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective! Vaccines cause old age.
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Get vaccinated while you still can.

#Indigenous people genuinely need your support against #Fascism in #Australia. We literally can't stop these people because they don't see us as human, and our numbers are too small. Our voice is silenced by both of these things. No matter how loudly we shout. Please, #Fight with us, #auspol.
'Taste of their own medicine': Trump hit with 1K+ Labor Day rallies www.rawstory.com/labor-day-pr...
Happy Labor Day! Thank a union. Listen to some Dead.
I really love that if we'd just heard Giuliani was in a bad accident, we all would have thought "good" & then moved on with the day. But thanks to that bonkers statement, we all know there is absolutely a lot more to the story that we can look forward to getting leaked over the coming days
Happy Labor Day! The power of labor, when organized, is unmatched—we fight and win together, and we do it for ALL of us ✊
It’s that season again!
Happy Labor Day! Thank you to all of Virginia’s workers who keep our Commonwealth and nation running. I will always fight for stronger protections, fair wages, and a safe work environment for every Virginian.

Hinky AF. Impulse Control Disorder AF. Is this Melania or the short-fingered vulgarian himself?
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Happy #LaborDay, New York City! 💪 From enforcing the prevailing wage to advocating for better labor practices on behalf of NYC pension funds, the Office of the Comptroller is committed to the pursuit of justice for workers and a more equal economy.
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.

This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
Everyone knew RFK Jr. would be a disaster, he hasn’t disappointed.., Every American should be alarmed at what’s happening to the nation’s public health system under HHS Secretary RFK Jr., 9 former leaders of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention are warning. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Yeah “surprising,” as a 2008 law requires unaccompanied kids from countries other than Canada/Mexico to be "placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child." A 3AM plane to Guatemala—ignoring potential harm upon arrival—is not that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
