Happy Labor Day MAGA. Don’t let Trump BS you, he is the most anti-Labor Union POTUS in U.S.A. history. This is his constituency and you’ll never catch up. Wake the f*ck up.
scientist, cyclist, nurse, liberal, believer in democracy and the Constitution, bone spurs the draft dodger is not my president. We need people with a spine to fight the overthrow of our country by authoritarian dictators. No DMs or requests for money.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
IT’S HAPPENING! Floridians are painting rainbows around potholes 🌈 It makes rainbows proliferate. 🌈 It increases safety; dangerous spots are more visible. 🌈 And it exposes the absurdity of DeSantis ordering rainbows scrubbed away instead of fixing hazards that put drivers at risk. #RainbowRoad

"Blueskyism" helped the Mississippi Free Press overcome algorithmic suppression on other platforms (Facebook, Threads) and ride out plummeting engagement on Twitter following Musk's X takeover. Thank God we took our eggs out of the X basket when we did.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Labor Day in Portland Oregon! Many people came to say no to Trump!
There's very little that the billionaires hate more than workers having rights.
Support for Trump amongst his youngest voters is already collapsing. And, trust me, we’re gonna keep dragging it down. 🫡

Labor Day in Concord New Hampshire - electrifying atmosphere! Pretty amazing

India, China and Russia are about to forge a global trade alliance that may even supplant the U.S. dollar as the principal trade currency. That would be disastrous for us. The thing is we might (maybe) beat the GOP in 26, but so much damage will be done
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Thank you on this labor day!!
REPUBLICAN @repthomasmassie & DEMOCRAT @rokhanna.bsky.social are holding a bipartisan news conference on Wednesday with 10 victims of Epstein demanding the House vote on the files Speaker Johnson has been avoiding. www.foxnews.com/politics/kha...
Every person, without exception, who claims they voted for King asshole “because of the economy” is lying. All of them. Not a single person voted for that criminal asswipe because of the economy. They voted for him because they wanted team white man to win and be in charge. That’s it.

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
I love this guy
Ha ha ha
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Their County is changing up automatic trash bins. But this kindness is still what matters
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
JUST IN: DOJ says all children on planes that were supposed to fly to Guatemala today have been unloaded and are being returned to custody of HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement. Drew Ensign says missed deadline earlier was bc DOJ wasn't aware. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
UPDATE: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, says that "all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody." He add that he didn't file by 4 p.m. because he wasn't aware of the court's order setting that deadline.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
Fatality.
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.
This is gonna be a big week for the Epstein survivors. Tell Congress to demand answers now!
a kid like this can either bloom into an empathetic beautiful soul or can curdle into a bully bent on revenge

"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files

Trump has essentially deployed the National Guard in an effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
TACO hates this country and wants to turn it into Russia
No lies detected.
Welcome to dictator TACO via NYT - Authoritarians have long feared and suppressed science as a rival for social influence. Historians see Trump as borrowing some of their tactics.
This is nothing but BS. The fascist regime will continue to lie and make outrageous comments to persuade the gullible it is true when in fact it is all nonsense. This fascist dictator does not know truth. Life is only going to get worse under TACO and the heritage Foundation
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
Unless DeSantis plans on having them watch the crosswalks 24/7, Orlando is gonna win this battle.
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
Terminal incoherence
🤔
Imagine if this administration put the same energy into finding missing children as they do into ICE.
DHS and DC Police detaining a peaceful, unarmed man sitting on a bench at DC's Malcolm X Park.
For real: Are Republicans not embarrassed by stuff like this??
TACO is a pedo. Wake up America
We get outraged over children dying. They get outraged over Cracker Barrel changing the logo. We are not the same!
This seems exceptionally unhinged, even for Trump.
Exactly😂
Trump said tonight he is going to issue an executive order purporting to require enforcement of voter ID rules: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u... The president has no such authority to order how elections are conducted.
What a lying crock Scott is
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has just signed an executive order to firmly oppose Trump's federal presence and actions in the city.
The Trump regime has pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Universal Process Review. This is chilling. This review happens every 4-5 years for each country in the UN. No country has ever pulled out of the review. Until now. I remember the last time the US had its UPR... 🧵
Another waste of money
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
How’s this working out for you MAGA’s now? Trump’s deporting Latinos. He’s cutting Veteran’s benefits. He’s trying to take away even more women’s rights. He’s whitewashed Black history!! You’ve been conned!!!
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!!
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.

Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."
Trump at his golf club today. He hid from the public for days and won’t let the press pool near him.
Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
40% of Missourians vote for Democrats, and this is the Congressional map the Republicans are pushing for.
In the 16th century, the Catholic Church used the abhorrent practice of selling indulgences—offering salvation for a price—to raise money for the Church. Trump is trying that now: to buy indulgence not for your wretched soul, but his own. His cynicism knows no bounds.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead
I don’t care that Trump went golfing today. Something strange is going on—his lack of interaction with the press is simply not normal. What is the White House hiding? 🤨
