💥💥 KABOOM 💥💥 Republican health care cuts "political suicide" www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-...
Racism, cruelty + sadism beyond measure! Thanks to Republikkkants! #Resist 🗽💙🍀🙏🌻🫂🌥️⛅🦋🐝🐦🐿️🌈💕
The Problem in America is Republicans who Represent the Rich and LUV their Donations. If Shareholders were Smart, they would take care of those that would provide a Consistent Profit. Unions are a Must, Universal Healthcare is a Must. 👏👏👍👊👊👊🇺🇸😎
We have become a nation of cruelty.
Logical, right?

As a Palestinian-American — but also as a human — I urge every member of Congress to take action to reverse this decision. If I were in Congress, I sure as hell would. You can read more about my aims for humane foreign policy here: www.katforillinois.com/issues/human...
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...

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.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

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.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

'To put the failure in an avowedly military context, it [the Anglo-Afghan conflict] was not just mission failure, it was a whole system failure' writes @edrusi.bsky.social in the latest RUSI Commentary.

Britain has been multicultural for the last 2000 years. That's why we have the Roman alphabet, a Middle East religion, Arabic numerals, a Syrian patron saint, an aristocracy with French ancestry and a German royal family.

"Arias Cristobal never set out to be part of a national political debate, but that too has been a tricky component of life after detention. She certainly didn’t imagine that her story would come to exemplify the excesses of a presidential administration."
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Given his rant this AM, I wonder if Trump will grasp that the main propagandists against COVID19 vaccines are all now running his admin’s health agencies: RFK Jr. (HHS), Bhattacharya (NIH), Makary and Prasad (FDA). Someone should tell him why so many people wrongly think COVID19 vaccines are bad.
Speaking of Romania, I wouldn’t mind if either of these people someday shared the fate of Nicolae Ceaușescu.
(Agree with you that the editorial choice is wrong and perhaps shameful. But this president for some reason seems to have a few powers that the constitution places off limits.)
I mean, the constitution doesn’t give the president explicit immunity from criminal prosecution over official acts — and yet … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We can swallow that whole, like he wants us to or else take note of the fact that Trump is stiffing them on their pay and inciting their wrath. newrepublic.com/post/196729/...
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Stephen Cottrell, the Archbishop of York, condemned Reform's migration policy yesterday. Christian teaching makes clear he had the right and duty to do so. That teaching is clear: you can support Reform, but you can't claim to be Christian and do so. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09...

Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.
I’d add two pretty obviously dubious claims in the PE report (read it carefully and you’ll see weasel words creeping in to hide the weaknesses): (1) that the (express) agreement to incorporate the ECHR into NI law with access to courts and remedies doesn’t mean “ECHR as interpreted by the ECtHR);
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
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.

My hot take is that we all have a bigger potential audience on Bluesky than almost anyone in the world had prior to social media, and in most cases that's more than we need or deserve. And for many topics, there's lots of interesting content here, along with healthy, constructive discussion.
