#IndivisibleNWA gathered in Fayetteville today for a #MayDayStrong #WorkersOverBillionaires rally. Local news reached out to elected officials. Representative Steve Womack declined to comment, while the others did not respond to requests for comment. #Arkansas #Indivisible
Arkansas joins 'Workers Over Billionaires' protests held across the US on Labor Day I have a cameo at 57 seconds with my Chemistry Cat poster. Good turnout today in our deep red state that's not as red as people think! www.5newsonline.com/video/news/l...
#Resistance is alive and well in Arkansas!!!! Beautiful Thing to See!!!
Hot Springs, Arkansas got into some Good Trouble today for Labor Day. So much so, that the national park service even supply two officers to watch and make sure the peasants didn't get out of line. #arbluedots #laborday #maydaystrong #workersoverbillionaires
More from Hot Springs, Arkansas #workersoverbillionaires

Per Google, no palm trees at golf course in Virginia!
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
California stepping up.
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Of course.
Everyone parrots the line, “They’ll just replace Trump with another figurehead.” Bullsh*t. Later today in my latest JHN Newsletter I’ll break down why Trump is the one irreplaceable piece of this machine. When he’s gone...the whole thing starts to crack.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
Rule 5: Revolution vs. Revelation: The younger generation is impatient for instant change and wants to skip the preliminary steps of organization. This results in "confrontation for confrontation's sake" and is not an effective way to bring about change. 6/7
Rule 4: Tactics: Effective tactics are those that are within the experience of the people. A tactic's effectiveness is in the reaction it evokes from the opposition. The one thing that is unforgivable and certain to get a reaction is to laugh at your enemy. 5/7
Key Concepts from "Rules for Radicals" for Social Media Rule 1: Power and Organization: Change comes from power, and power comes from organization. The purpose of an organization is to seize power and give it to the people, to achieve a democratic dream. 2/7

Please Repost & Participate
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
It is so pretty.
Is this one going in tea
Wow
Those days, When there’s more month than money, Yet you still find The hues of beauty In everything. #IlisReflects 🌱
I think you're right.
The sunflower😊
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
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?
#LaborDay
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

Today's favorites. 🌱 which do you like?
I loved the live action, except I wish it had been a little brighter with the lighting.
We sacrifice our children on an altar to the second amendment.
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…
I need Cracker Barrel level outrage at Missouri Republicans who overturn the will of Missouri voters…
There may not be much I can do to keep the Missouri GOP from gerrymandering Kansas City, but I also know something: they will dilute their own base. They could lose. Missouri Republicans attempted to do this a few years ago and then talked themselves out of it for that very same reason.
The Boots Theory is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more than the expensive items the wealthy only need to buy once. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Would you come & speak at one of our protests or democratic club meetings in Hot Springs Arkansas? We all love you here.
No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

I don't know who made this but...😅🤣😂
This is too cute, dogs really are the best... 🥺❤️ #dog #dogday #bluesky
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
MAGA: "Go woke, go br—oh, never mind. . ."
"We are watching and we are taking names." This is where Pritzker has leveled up over his fellow Dems, by promising a future of accountability and retribution for the destruction Trump and his minions are doing to the constitutional order and our individual freedoms. newrepublic.com/post/199800/...
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?

If Disney actually goes with this art style I’ll be surprised but pleased
I don't know why Disney is trending so have a caturday instead
You can pick 1 Disney film to watch the rest of your life, which one are you picking? I will always be a Little Mermaid girl.
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.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Where’s Trump?
😔
"January 6 survivor and former MPD Officer Michael Fanone launches a campaign demanding that federal officers remove their masks, advocating for transparency." Check out our new D.C. campaign demanding federal agents take off their mask! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social www.wusa9.com/article/news...
At least those countries have intelligent leaders.
You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
"The President, on his own, can't tax the American people. That's what King George III tried to do – we had a revolution about that." Neal Katyal
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
This Labor Day isn’t for parades or picnics: it’s for rebellion. From fields to factories, classrooms to kitchens, we rise in defiance. We are the majority, and we will not be silenced. Stand up, fight back, reclaim our future. #WorkersOverBillionaires social.demcast.com/s/tyKF8qOZ
Milkweed (several types), coneflower, lots of herbs they like, sunflowers, zinnias, bee balm, bergamot, a few others I can't remember, and a grab bag of bulbs. We're actually setting up the host garden bulbs and some seeds this fall and will sow the rest of the seeds come spring.
Zinnias are still blooming. 🌱

COVID is spiking again, especially in these states: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma. I thought Trump hadn’t sent National Guard there because they are Red. Turns out he just wants to keep the Guard’s casualty rates down artificially. Looks bad for him. apple.news/AWat_-G5iTC2...
Added you!
Are you enjoying Bluesky? How many feeds do you have pinned? Where are the best conversations on this app? Are we building a community here or what?
Auto correct is more like auto typo. 🤦♀️
Glad to meet you! Bill Clinton is also an Arkansas living in New York, would you like to be added?
Definitely milkweed! Our new place is near several protected prairie remnants & asclepias veridis is pretty common here. I also just love asclepias tuberosa so that too!
We need to talk about the 🐦 and the 🐝. And define the 🦋 effect to mean: if we save the butterflies, the birds & the bees, we save ourselves. 🌱 #MilkweedRevolution
What host plants are you planning on next spring? (Unless your planting perennials this fall) 🌱
