On one of his better days.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
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.
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.
“Right now, it’s unrest,” one detainee told Noticias 23. “Everyone here has been beaten up, many people have bled, brother, tear gas. We are immigrants, we are not criminals, we are not murderers.” www.mediaite.com/media/news/a...

If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
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 think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
I like the rebrand.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.

This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

'It's in the offing': Analyst issues dire warning about Trump's plans for the military
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

Cw assisted suicide I've been chatting to people recently on how Switzerland's assisted suicide, including w/ medical tourism, is much lower than Canada's bc it's a country that seems to get it's people's needs met, and that includes housing.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.
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."
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
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
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
I’ve been aware we will be throwing these f-ers out of office, this week it’s starting to feel like people are accepting the challenge!
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Other people who are clearly interested in running: — Pritzker — Beshear — Walz — AOC — Whitmer
So all that amazing infrastructure legislation is being demolished. It was some of the best legislation in HISTORY. I’d rather Biden’s legacy have been ARRESTING & IMPRISONING THE LEAD INSURRECTIONIST. Yep. Instead his legacy will be FASCISM.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
They were so obsequious, maybe they know something.

This is not a hot take but maybe what Labour needs is some actual left-wing policies, to stop supporting genocide, to stop austerity, to stand up for immigration as a net good, to enact a wealth tax, to stop the creeping privatisation of the NHS, to renationalise public services…
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
Having just read @hcrichardson.bsky.social today, it’s fully affirmed we are no longer living in democracy. Our most basic protections are completely gone in less than 8 months. I grieve the loss of this nation. A new world order has begun and the PEOPLE on this land are no longer safe. Not at all.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?

We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
