Not only @gretchengrad.bsky.social but also @jaimebrants.bsky.social @susanaffholter.bsky.social and @kjk24.bsky.social made the trek to the halfway point and back again! There were a few more but no Bluesky to tag them. Thanks for sharing your photos!!! Maybe next year I can make it. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵
Ooo. I can only imagine how irritating that is.
Hahaha!!!
Yup. You know he is gonna “find” a hair or some other issue and call the Health Dept
Smug is such the appropriate word for him.
Let’s all be honest. Does anyone in the US think that this dude has ever been in a diner in his life before this photo??? We all know he ain’t ever been to a Waffle House or Huddle House or Big Boy!
Suddenly it is an emergency? Pulte group isn’t making enough money so the Fed Govt and a bad Barry Bostwick look alike are going to declare a housing emergency? GTFO!!
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Heartbroken over the loss of Graham Greene (Oneida First Nation), whose presence in any film or series immediately elevated it, as evidenced by the popularity of this bit part in THE LAST OF US. He did so much with just a few minutes of screen time. He will be missed, esp by Indigenous audiences.
This is 100% true, but it’s not that RFK Jr is unqualified (although he is that too), it’s that he’s *actively and intentionally sabotaging* our public health infrastructure
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
Nope. The photo on the left is from the WH press pool. The one on the right has been enhanced, like you can do on your phone to make images crisper.
My heart aches for America's children. They worry about being shot while more than half the country's adults simply write their sacrifice off on the altar of profit and fake patriotism.
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
Tina Turner hits #1 today in 1984 with “What’s Love Got to Do With It” — a song she wasn’t sold on at first. “It was terrible. .. I was rock and roll. This was a pop song.” But her manager, Roger Davies, insisted. When it swept the Grammys, she dedicated the “Record of the Year” award to him.

I had a gash on my nose on time that was similar after I passed out due to a medical issue and smacked a doorway on my way down. His issues are escalating for sure!!
Memphis crime rates are nothing new. But the fact that it doesn’t fit 🍊💩’s narrative is all any of us need to know.
The doc Katrina: Come Hell or High Water provides important historical context. When disasters strike low-income areas, there’s a familiar pattern: higher rates of displacement, gentrification, and policy decisions that neglect Black and Latino property owners. This 🤬 admin knows what it’s doing.
Thousands of Hurricane Helene victims are being evicted — less than a year after being displaced… And now, as FEMA crumbles, imagine what *future* victims of ecological disasters will have to endure
It's the childish hand and correcting her mistakes that's choking me up. That it should come to this.
The ACT-UP quote slogan lives on, even if our friends don't.

“This is not simply that Donald Trump has put only one Black person in his cabinet. It’s that Donald Trump has gone out of his way to find some of the most unqualified and ill-equipped people to put in those jobs as a way to actually avoid having to put Black people in his cabinet.”
What a statement…
The bleak honesty of this image just absolutely breaks my heart
From my grandfather, who battled union busters in the 1940s From my parents, school teachers who fought for fair wages and benefits From my daughter, who works with unions to create climate friendly jobs And me, representing union members injured at work Enjoy your Labor Day You've earned it
Every women knows this is true. Life experience has taught women this disparity isn’t going away.
🧵 on Labor Day by the one & only DrDinD The “companies” & their ownership didn’t have any worries about their employees dying doing the jobs back in the day. They also didn’t have any qualms about paying thugs like the Pinkerton “security” guys to shoot & kill you either. We are headed there again
📌Labor Day Fun* Fact 2015 average weekly wages: Men: $895 Women: $730 2025 average weekly wages: Men: $1,330 Women: $1,078 *Unless yer a woman
Some members of the Emmet County Democratic Party walked together during the annual Mackinac Bridge Walk on Labor Day. It is a beautiful day in northern MI! Thanks to all who helped coordinate the effort. And special thanks to @gretchengrad.bsky.social for sending the photos for me to share. 💙🩵💙🩵💙

Many of them do indeed make bad citizens. I wonder what happens in their brains that make them like that versus a more benevolent billionaire like Warren Buffet or Mark Cuban.
Ren has been saying similar things in song. We need to wake up. youtu.be/0ivQwwgW4OY?...
Florida Rep Carlito Gimenez? Marco Rubio spilled the beans; it's not about drugs or freeing Venezuelans from Maduro. Maduro wants Essequiba. Guyana currently controls it. Exxon owns the rights. Trump and Republicans' dependence on fossil fuels and undercutting green energy is the problem. #DCFL
Disgusting.
Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
So many dead Armadillos!!!

Cancelling brain cancer trials for kids…Why? So Betsy DeVos can get a new yacht. Mark Z-borg can purchase more mansions to tear down for bigger estates. Anal Musky can snatch up other companies and say they were his idea. And on and on. No breaks for the ave Jane & Joe #workersOverBillionaires
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Netanyahu’s office tried to use Cindy McCain to prop up their false narrative that adequate food is flowing into Gaza. McCain: “I stand by what I said—there’s not enough food getting in. It simply isn’t enough to be able to do the job, stop malnutrition and starvation.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/p...
Very low energy. What's up? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
TRUMP just now: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE” Are you guys buying this? Because I’m not. His account has posted over a dozen times in the last hour. Someone’s overcompensating for him. What are they hiding? We deserve proof of health, not just a grainy photo of a man looking like a stroke victim.
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
Finally, I have found the words. open.substack.com/pub/conniesc...
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
And we know it is on purpose Fucking racist misogynistic frail frightened whyte men….

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
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Your worth is pretty good! I’d pick you over most others I know!! 💙
Glad you are all safe.
Northern MI peeps - tomorrow in Petoskey. 5-7pm!!!

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social: “People want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but it’s a form of theological malpractice when you pray for something you have the power to change.”
The way he can't keep a straight face when saying trump is doing a good job.
New and expecting parents who work at VA are getting maternity leave canceled after their union contract was terminated. Those affected include people giving birth this week??? Over 25% of VA employees are veterans themselves.... #DefendVeteransBenefits social.demcast.com/s/ap4E5aco
Trump's war on Veterans continues: He's decimating the VA, firing caregivers, and slashing healthcare for 7 million Veterans. Republicans in Congress are complicit in this betrayal. #DefendVeteransBenefits Trump is a mob boss. A convicted felon. Lock him up.
WHO PAYS THE TARIFFS!!!???!!! We all pay the tariffs. #WeAllPayTheTariffs

I need Cracker Barrel level outrage at Missouri Republicans who overturn the will of Missouri voters…
Jesus Christ. To these men and women who are perpetrating this…. I hope that whatever Hell you believe in and fear is where you spend your eternity.
He NEVER should have gotten the fucking job GOP SENATORS, his hands blood is your hands BLOOD

This is my absolutely favorite Newsom dig. He's even stealing #MAGA from them!!!

Lordy she sounds like Julia Sugarbaker.

I am so sorry this happened to you.
Another super wealthy kook who is delusional
Wow….
Disgraceful.
A Ukrainian lawmaker who formerly served as speaker of parliament was shot dead on Saturday in the western city of Lviv, authorities said, in what President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned as a "horrific murder". u.afp.com/SAEF
Of COURSE it all comes down to Modi’s refusal to nominate him for a Nobel prize. 🤡
His ego…. I am only sorry that other nations didn’t react as Mr Modi has. Bullies will always be bullies. They have no allies. If you look at the way 🍊💩 bullies his supposed allies and friends, you know there is not a warm feeling of loyalty by any of them. Just burning and escalating resentment
“.. Kennedy was acting bizarre, saying he can tell as he walks past children if they are dealing with “mitochondrial challenges” .. Can he mysteriously divine illnesses just by looking? “Our health secretary is a certified quack.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
“I think that’s wholly appropriate and certainly comports with my understanding of the law,” said C. Fred Bergsten, who helped negotiate IEEPA in the 1970s, “and hopefully it will excise lots of the damage that his tariffs have done.”
I'm reading the US Appellate Court ruling. www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord... How's your Friday evening doing? I'm not ready to pull out the bubbly up here in Canada. On the one hand, the Court ruled that the "Trafficking" tariffs against Canada are NOT authorized under IEEPA.
“We discern no clear congressional authorization by IEEPA for tariffs..Given these considerations, we conclude Congress..did not give the President wide-ranging authority to impose tariffs of the nature of the Trafficking and Reciprocal Tariffs simply by the use of the term 'regulate..importation.'"
Right after I retired I bought “reserve” items of things that I love & have worn well for me over the years. Included in that list were good boots & great socks. That was before the insanity of the tariffs. We all learn to make adjustments. Good beer doesn’t last that long but it worth the cost!
Deeper in the essay, she discusses Pratchett and the cardboard in the shoes. I thought it was a great and understandable way to understand about the insane cost of being poor, still today.
