DC MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING NOW 9/1
Man, I feel this. ๐๐ฝ๐ญ
Some new street art spotted in DC ๐คฃ
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, weโre 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. Itโs not a coincidence heโs targeting Chicago:
The problem isnโt refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nสkiโwah brother.
Two remarkable Ambassadors for our Planet, 99 year old Sir David Attenborough and 91 year old Dr. Jane Goodall. Theyโve dedicated their lives to educate and protect.. ๐ #janegoodall #davidattenborough #nature #chimpanzees #wildlife #environment #drjanegoodall #jane #sirdavidattenborough #bbc #bsky
Thank you on this labor day!!
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.

Itโs September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, letโs see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. Thatโs why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.

He's sick inside.
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.

Make no mistake, everything thatโs happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

This is a distressing story, and reflects the danger of having heavily armed, improperly trained - and allegedly in this disturbing case, bigoted and harassing - Guard troops on city streets.

Dems in Congress are powerless to boot him out immediately. But that's because their opponents need to initiate the motion! As negative momentum increases, I feel it's due time to increase pressure on MAGA-land, with ads on right-wing news sources, that they demand their reps fire the idiot ASAP.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...

One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening todayโbeyond that it's happeningโis that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.

Robert Reich is calling for Dems in the house to submit articles of impeachment re: 45's cabinet etc. Says Mitch McConnell used every means to gum us and slow walk and bury bills when Rs were minority.
โฆlaws (that can be broken), courts (that can be ignored), free & fair elections (that can be undermined), & a defiant populace (that can be put down by a complicit military in the streets). We must fight with every lawful tool at our disposal, and we must defend each other to the last breath. 2/2

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
