But is it really?
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
What took ‘em so long?
Yep, wrong body part.
Now Little Marco will want to change his to Dept. of Peace.
Plenty of fine Canadian whiskies, including Bourbons. #Canada: Elbows up and keep pouring it on.
Poor guy finally got the break he deserved.
Not paywalled: The quality of some Indian-produced is lagging but catching up to China. But the Great Bidnessman is blind to the competition being beneficial. #Tariffs #India www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/b...
Anyone who can't see that now is beyond hope.
Chicago should implement a billboard campaign urging resistance to the invasion of these storm troopers.
Abandoning ‘thoughts and prayers’, Repubs current solution to gun violence is deploying the US Military in our cities.
While I generally don't favor euphemisms such as ‘Dept of Defense’, the image this change would evoke would be grossly unhelpful.
Article 1, Sec 8 Gives Congress the power to lay & collect taxes, duties, imposts, excises, etc. Congress has ceded to the Exec much of the power to levy tariffs, including via the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that trump is now abusing. #Tariffs www.axios.com/2025/08/31/t...
Wishful thinking.
Have a feeling that Netanyahu has written off the remaining living hostages.
No fitness requirement, just violent proclivities.
His and his Repub. enablers’ solution to violent crime is deploying the US Military into our streets.
But how many will take to the streets?
Goddam!
The best he can muster is a shit-eating grin.
Look for Hizzoner to be arrested on bogus federal charges. #Immigration #Chicago #Illinois www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/p...
Duties are tax revenue and the tariff proceeds go into the general fund of the US Treasury, which, in a way, is a bottomless pit in that the Treasury must borrow just to pay the interest on the outstanding debt. Graft occurs separately via government contractors who skim to bribe govt officials.
“The tariff program is now generating about $30 billion a month in revenue, with expectations that would quickly grow after Trump imposed new rates on Aug. 1.” Out of the pockets of US importers and ultimately their customers and/or reduced profits. #Tariffs www.axios.com/2025/08/29/t...
In NYC you'll have 000s joining you.
Maybe it's not a bad thing to portray Lee as a slaver. Teach your children well.
Milqetoast.
Purely payback for supporting trump in the election. Keep writing to your Repug Senators in advance of midterms and make him a political liability.
There for the taking. 🙄
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. —Locke
It seems that Republicans do something every day to further endanger the people.
Their solution to gun violence is deploying the US military in cities.
Never thought a Panda could look exasperated.
Maybe not such a bad thing. “Currently, more than 330,000 Indians are enrolled in US universities, comprising about 30% of the overseas students in the country.” Making the total ~1.1 million. m.economictimes.com/nri/study/us...
True. Now awaiting “The Man In The High Castle” scenario.

Willful ignorance is equivalent to imbecility.

He doesn't care a whit about the DC economy collapsing.
He welcomes it.
He has blood pressure?
Help a poor Yank understand. Does Farage rhyme with garbage or garage?
So much for the old ham sandwich saying. We The People are standing up to the feds. wapo.st/3Jyc2QI
Had to look up the lyrics. Spot on.
There’ll be too much pickin’ and a’grinnin’ for my taste.
Yes, a great act.
And we’ll always have Springtime for Hitler.
After watching The Sound of Music and Cabaret for years, I thought fascism would be accompanied by more show tunes. (paraphrasing an IG post).
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots. -Barbara Ehrenreich
Rather he sees himself as absolutely the only person entitled to do it.
Perhaps the little girl will grow up to be a better person.
He may coerce a nomination but the Swedes would rather award the prize to King Kong for defeating Godzilla.
Yep, this is a hallmark of fascism.
Comes to mind: That may be true but you're fat and stupid and I can lose weight. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Yeah, above all NYC needs its mayor to be muscular.
Goons. At lease some are no longer masked. They ought to be ID’d and their faces & names distributed. Where are the tech wizards when we need them?
What's the third choice? Congressional Dems at the least ought to be filing lawsuits at every turn.
A clear-headed outspoken leader who can't be coerced or owned by anyone.
Where's the hue & cry now?
Forward into the past.
The time has come to take to the streets but the populace remains disengaged.
She ain't no ham sandwich.

But will be required to drag knuckles while upright to pass the physical.
Instilling fear to freeze action is the intent. Act up and out.
Perhaps this will be fashionable in their golden years.
“…Fuzzy, caused little damage but cleaned out much of the inventory…” Do black bears get bellyaches? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...

He means only immigrants with too much melanin.
A budding Ratso Rizzo.
Like saying Rasputin supports ethical behavior.
Yeah, let's quash evil tourism.
Why the sticker? “None of your bloody business.”

Gen. Patton had foresight. #Russia www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Newsom is just warming up.
Yes, I have year round heartbreak.
Of course they're all wearing little pressure suits and helmets.
I’d boycott Target except I haven't set foot in one in probably twenty years.
Nevertheless…
He’s missing the few genes that separate H. Sapiens from bonobos. (No disparagement of bonobos intended.)
Shouldn't this guy be railing about burning fossil fuels?
Maybe some have nom de plum accounts criticizing their employer. Must keep hope alive.
Duplicitous bastard.
Very cool. Here some miscreant would steal either the money or the melon, along with the robot.
Put them all in the tubes.
Give oysters the vote now!
Apparently in cutting by 50% she’s trying to have them match her own level of intelligence, in which case the cuts aren't nearly deep enough. #Gabbard www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
“Internal polling presented to lawmakers showed voters favored the measure 52% to 41%, with 7% undecided…” Dem & indie turnout will be the deciding factor. Which side will out-organize the other. #California #Newsom www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
But he didn't lay the egg.
A single termite can cause very little damage.
Astonished he didn't offer to give back AK in exchange for an option to build in Moscow.
And those that prey on the poor.
War is almost always about real estate.
I for one am on tenterhooks to see what happens when a master manipulator, trained in dark psychological arts by the KGB, meets the world’s most obvious mark and a gaping human wound of neediness who could be conned by toddlers. Real cliffhanger. Could go any which way
🎯 Maybe also psychopath vs. sociopath.
“A host of other issues raised by the city about the federal intervention were not resolved on Friday, including the scope of demands that the administration can place on the local police.” A solution begging the problem. #DC www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/u...
