Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

Woohoo!! #fdt #Epsteinfiles #sandwichguy
Warfighters demonstrating leafality.
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...
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.

Downtown Baltimore: Labor Day parade is held in the city center and many protesters have gathered to show their rejection of the Trump administration
I saw Mel today and she asked how I was and I said i'm hot and cranky and i dont want to be here lmffaaaoo
The Minneapolis police department didn’t do anything to stop the school shooter and giving them credit for that is unhinged behavior.
Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
My great-grandfather died of burns in one of the Carnegie owned steel plants. Gutter guards exposed workers to molten metal. It took 3 days for his heart to stop beating.
The industrialist’s heaven of owning wealth-building mills built on the backs of child labor was just TWO generations before mine. I am grateful for the heroes who made my way of life possible — a childhood filled with education, exploration, & play.
Progress is usually forged in blood. Everyone, think hard about Labor Day and what it means. We are quickly losing what progress we made over the past hundred years — and I beg you — do not let purity politics undermine progress. bsky.app/profile/dear...
www.reuters.com/business/imm... “In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work..."
Generations of workers in America bled and died to win dignity on the job. They stood together against those who refused to recognize their humanity. On Labor Day, as fascism rises again, we honor those who came before us and carry forward their spirit of solidarity & defiance. Fight like hell. ✊

Special Election in FL TOMORROW. VOTE!!!
They're hiding their faces–not their intentions. This was filmed today as masked DC police & ICE agents stopped delivery drivers. A waste of resources. This agent felt comfortable to say on camera that he was there "doing the Lord’s work.” These are no longer religious undertones. They're overt.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
This Labor Day, reread Carl Sandburg's magnificent poem of working America. www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-day-...
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Without public education, people are easier for billionaires & extremist ideologues to control. Knowledge & critical thinking help avoid manipulation by misinformation & erosion of rights. Hold corrupt Republicans accountable!

Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.

They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Roger Marshall (R-KS) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Rand Paul (R-KY) John Barrasso (R-WY) These doctors voted for RFK Jr., swimmer in poop, with his grandchildren, the former 14 year heroin addict, sexual abuser, to become the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Nine former directors of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to warn Health Secty Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “endangering every American’s health." RFK Jr MUST be charged with manslaughter. Dem State AGs must charge him for killing Americans.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
We share this graph as often as we can. #UnionStrong
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Labor Day in Springfield (MO)! A very large number of protesters answered the call and gathered to say “enough” to Trump and his policies.
Why Did Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel Groom JD Vance to Be the Vice President? I'm talking to the great @gilduran.com about the broligarchy's plan and end game. Worth hearing. LIVE. thelefthook.substack.com
And it's a pretty good clue! #crime
Courts are ruling against ICE for illegal actions such as warrantless entry, racial profiling, & detaining U.S. citizens without cause. Abuse of power isn’t just wrong—it’s unconstitutional. Hold ICE accountable. #AbuseOfPower #MeltICE

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Trust for labor unions is 20 points higher than trust for either the Democratic or Republican party.
Although it is Illegal for Trump to send the National Guard into a STATE, to reduce Crime, given he is already a Convicted Criminal, he is use to breaking Laws. However, after he leaves Office, the State can Indict Trump for Breaking the Law. Vance can’t Pardon State Crimes. Trump won’t do it, Bluff
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Dead or alive, Rudy Giuliani brought “broken windows” policing to NYC. “Not only did broken windows policing fail to reduce crime, but it also provided cover for a deliberate targeting of Black and brown communities.” Why? The theory comes from rightwing think tankers
