The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.

Thank you on this labor day!!
VACCINES SAVES LIVES!!!!👍🇺🇸🥳
wow
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
NYT: “When Tennessee’s Republican governor @GovBillLee dispatched troops to support Trump’s crackdown on crime, critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis has a murder rate twice DC’s, Nashville’s is higher as well.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
AP: “Florida could be on the hook for $218 million… Alligator Alcatraz may soon be completely empty as a judge upheld her decision late Wednesday ordering operations to wind down indefinitely…” apnews.com/article/flor...

Brilliant
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
He ditched the military. Time for the military to ditch him.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines, but they come with restrictions. NPR wants to know your questions about the new guidance.
Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows. @citizencohn.bsky.social on the CDC purge: www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
California stepping up.
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...
Fatality.
David Hogg is a prominent gun control activist who survived the Parkland, Florida, shooting in 2018.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
😆
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Release the Epstein files.
They're releasing the Epstein files?
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Wise advice to cities targeted or shall I say invaded by ICE Small towns are also seeing these unlawful kidnappings too Spread the word! All it takes to stop them is a few arrests Show the video to your local DA
JUST IN: U.S. judge temporarily bars Trump administration from deporting Guatemalan children.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
Everyone parrots the line, “They’ll just replace Trump with another figurehead.” Bullsh*t. Later today in my latest JHN Newsletter I’ll break down why Trump is the one irreplaceable piece of this machine. When he’s gone...the whole thing starts to crack.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.

You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
Raddatz: "One of the things that they're trying to do in D.C. with the National Guard is have them back up federal law enforcement." Gov. Wes Moore: "They're picking up trash."
To state the obvious, petty street crime would likely be very rare in a totalitarian state where the military could execute you on suspicion of shoplifting; doesn’t mean this should be seriously discussed as an anti-crime stately. “Lowering crime” is not the only prerogative in a civilized society
RFKjr continues to be the most dangerous person in this regime. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
She cooked him well. Charlie Kirk is a good-for-nothing online troll.
DHS and DC Police detaining a peaceful, unarmed man sitting on a bench at DC's Malcolm X Park.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
This is the interim CDC Director. He is accusing pre-Trump CDC staff of “manipulating health data to support a political narrative”. This man and his boss Kennedy are the ones who are manipulating data for a political narrative. This is an existential threat to the United States of America.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Whilst Texas disgrace Ken Paxton was indicted on fraud crimes for nearly a decade as Texas AG, he was also claiming a few homes as his primary residence which is called mortgage fraud, now he’s trying to get into the US Senate. The fascist Republican crime spree is real.
52 of 53 Republican senators voted to confirm him.

Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
So was Trump actually golfing today?
It’s easier to purchase an assault rifle in the U.S. than it is to get a COVID19 vaccine. But food dyes and wearable fitness monitors are going to fix everything.
He jumped that gate like he was a crossing guard, terrible execution. White boy can't jump 😂
The magazine cover featuring "The American Queen" has gone viral online.
HAPPY LABOR DAY Let's keep and strengthen: ✔️8-hour workday ✔️Unemployment Benefits ✔️Workers Compensation Laws ✔️Employer-Based Health Coverage ✔️Family and Medical Leave Act ✔️Workplace safety AND THANK A UNION
Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
We've got posters all around D.C. demanding that federal agents take their masks off because public servants should face the public. Check them out and be sure to follow us @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social — we've got more coming and you're not going to want to miss it!
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
Sadly, this onion headline will never get old
A friend was in DC this past week and said, “Man, those National Guard folks are bored out of their minds.” That’s the farce of all this: there simply isn’t enough crime for them to do anything. So, fuck it, arrest people for chalking the pavement. At least it makes the day go by faster.
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…

America doesn't need a lawyer playing doctor – let alone one who's a cult-following science-denier. Get RFK jr the fuck out of our government. Now.
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
