I don't want to hear Democrats tell us that they're not going to do Republican bullshit around labor. I want them to tell us about how they're going to expand workers' rights in their state, and what their plan is if the Supreme Court scorches the National Labor Relations Act tomorrow.
This idiot really just said monkeypox only infects homosexuals
Doesn't look a day over 90. Strong Prince Phillip vibes.
So he is too sick to commit impeachable offenses today?
I adore how sickly he looks. How sickly he looks makes me feel all warm and happy inside.
Happy Labour Day 👋

"Fun really is the name of the game for Trump & co. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence/deportation, to flood the trains/buses with armed law enforcement just because they can, to unleash troops who understand that they will not be held accountable."
Union membership lowers inequality. That's why the oligarchs can't stand unions.
Please give to my friend Tala in Gaza. She and her family are displaced and hungry, and in an area that is constantly attacked. They rely on our donations to survive. 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-fa...
Texas AG working to solidify the state's authoritarian government.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
just logging in- is he still alive.. ☹️

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
every time
Yep. This also points toward the did between libs and the left right now. Libs view the system as broken and needing to be fixed. The left views the system as working as designed and needing replaced.
A system cannot fail those it was never built to protect. — W.E.B. DuBois
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Real patriotism is wanting your country to be better. Real patriotism is wanting every single person who lives in it to have a stake in its success. Real patriotism is wanting the best for everyone in it. To have the best healthcare, education and life chances. I don’t need a flag outside my door
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
don't !@!!!!!!!!
California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.
The Gestapo called her ‘the most dangerous of all Allied spies.’ With a wooden leg, Virginia Hall built resistance networks, crossed the Pyrenees, and proved tyranny always underestimates those it dismisses. Her story matters now. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/15xg...
Reminder to all to live your life in such a way that folks aren’t so giddy at the mere rumor of your death.
I genuinely don't wish this experience on anyone; but also pretending that it isn't a large societal problem isn't helpful ): agree on providing safe spaces for children, as well! parents: PLEASE READ ALL THE WELL-REVIEWED BOOKS YOU CAN ON GOOD PARENTING... it's not OK to bs your way through it.
fair! it is such a painfully nuanced issue with no easy answers like you said, the only thing we CAN do is be aware of it + heal ourselves enough so that we don't continuously perpetuate maladaptive behaviors. and so we react more appropriately around others who are actively/ even passively harmful
marinelli's...or something sparkling in a champagne glass :)
this just seems idiotic 😂 they all HAVE the money to go after you shits!
this thread is amazing 🤣🤣
"WHERE IS THE CHELATION THERAPY I ASKED FOR??? WE NEED ALL HEAVY METALS REMOVED FROM THE BLOODSTREAM OR THE HEART WILL GET AUTISM"
"Looks like a heart attack. We need 15 gallons of raw milk, a dead bear, non-fluoride toothpaste, and Ivermectin STAT."
Just throwing out there that if Trump is having any medical problems, I sincerely hope he is in full and continued consultation with the top public health official in the United States and listening to and operationalizing ALL advice given by such an esteemed professional.
Calling in RFK to the oval to give Trump a good hard creepy stare.
Terfs should piss at home, I don't want to share a bathroom with them
finally I talked a lot of shit back to them and I shouldn't have done that but I do like to use whatever "pretty privilege" I have to be outspokenly/proudly ND, so ....so, brain get over it now please 🤣
I opened myself up to so much ableism...🙃 though ironically half the people in the thread were following the subreddit bc it shares the name of a city in Europe and they were completely unaware. looooool
also continuously butthurt about the potential roommate listing i put on a local subreddit where I disclosed that myself + my roommates are ND, and that things aren't always 100% tidy. (i wanted to find another nd human!) but obviously my first mistake was thinking that was by any means a good idea
(i buy soooo much pre-cooked or pre-cut food)
the autism tax on groceries is fkn ridiculous
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
just because psychiatry cannot articulate the connection does not mean that it is not DIRECT and CLEAR relationship HRT & affirming procedures reduce SI not ONLY because of the resulting physical changes but also just…chemically for some, estradiol or testosterone is better than an SSRI!
Erazo also noted that tear gas was used at a time when parents were taking their kids to school and innocent bystanders were on their way to work. Details: lataco.com/westlake-hom... by @shoton35mm.bsky.social
Do establishment Democrats know how they look when they (rightly) condemn the firearm caused mass murder of children in America—but then arm war criminals like Netanyahu to mass murder children in Palestine? We must remember—the children are ours. All over the globe. #Palestine #Minnesota
Too bad Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis passed legislation forbidding Florida localities from passing ordinances protecting workers from heat-related illnesses. Otherwise, Marco Antonio Hernandez Guevara might still be alive. www.wgcu.org/top-story/20...
The gap between the average Democratic voter and average Democratic politician on Palestine is almost incomprehensible at this point— to the extent that I really don't know what will finally break this dynamic
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
“The Trump administration placed more than 30 Federal Emergency Management Agency employees on leave Tuesday after they signed an open letter of dissent about the agency’s leadership, according to people familiar with the situation and documents reviewed by The Washington Post.”
Just signed up for a Covid vaccine and apparently now CVS doesn’t even let you get one unless you have a preexisting condition due to the new CDC guidelines. Wow.
demented
rent stabilization excludes buildings with fewer than six units for this precise reason so … try again ?
NEW from @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social: Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, sued President Donald Trump Thursday, calling his move to fire her an “unprecedented and illegal attempt” that jeopardizes the independence of the board. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/fed-...
“U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez has been fired, the White House said on Wednesday, less than a month after being sworn in, and four senior officials have resigned amid growing tensions over vaccine policies and public health directives.” 8/27/25
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
REMINDER: in this moment, the thing you want your Congressperson to do is (1) demand resignations and (2) threaten endless hearings. Impeachment isn't going to work. Read the article if you don't want to take my word for it - Larry is the most respected health law expert in America.
rip baby ):
i believe, in a recent video, Heather Cox Richardson said something about tr*mp attempting to have control within these companies, comparing it to LITERAL communism (aka not the Republican propagandized version). too ironic!!!!!!!

“Some of these people are thinking of, this is my home, this is my neighborhood… And I know people who might be targets of immigration raid or whatever you want to call it, you know, of ICE activity, and I'm not going to go deport my family members.” www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/h...
In June, dozens of tenants in Los Angeles went on utility strike — they refused to pay their utility bills and demanded the landlord provide transparency as to how the bills are counted. Three months into the strike, the landlord returned more than $25,000 back to these tenants.

As a DC resident I feel like I should say: This is a complete and utter lie. My kid, under age 12, walked to school last year into an area close to downtown. Telling the truth is an important thing.
Lawyers for Good Government launched a new resource hub on Tuesday tracking changes in state policies around access to gender-affirming care and constitutional protections in all 50 states and six territories.
how anyone even looks at him willingly is beyond me
this is the exact level of depth I needed to read on this topic, thank you @erininthemorning.com www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...
The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

I felt *excessively* confident yesterday ~ #nonbinary
high key happy that my anniversary is over because the expectations surrounding all holidays/ celebrations just trigger my perfectionism--shame brain wiring... now I can wake up beside my partner and be like ah-🙂↕️ only NORMAL worries! <3
fascinating that my manic-like symptoms all seem to get triggered by something... whereas my crashes just happen on their own. no wonder I've been obsessed with the concept of balance for so long (:
partner and I got fondue tonight for our 3 yr anniversary ☺️
none of us should have to play this terrible fucking game. we shouldn't have to compartmentalize our own existence. but i do think we are better off learning the rules of the game, for now-- until we can change it, for good.
quite literally I wish I could go to every queer person, quiet their insecurities, tell them they deserve to exist- that that should be a no-brainer; that the state of the world is just a side issue that will be solved in due time. bc what can we do besides compartmentalize? like any other trauma?
the queer community is so fucking strong + resilient. I fucking cry over how beautiful we all are-- how unique + carefree (when safe). I think queerness is a vision of a healthier future. and, not everyone is ready for it. to their own loss. we shouldn't have to be so strong + brave-- but we are.
huhhhhhhhhh
guys.... I think we need a new bible. a woke bible
another thing I'm obsessed with is how to *cure* conservatism lmao. how do we teach these people empathy? how do we educate the masses and end poverty in buttf*ck nowhere? how do we *morally* silence people that only know how to stoke rage, hate and ignorance---???
1000% fair vvvvv
not that it matters what I think but this is an absolutely reasonable + fair response 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I think Gavin + his team attempted to do one thing- and the repercussions went completely awry. but he has the ability to make amends here + he absolutely fkn should. the less toxic we are abt it the better?!
Reminder that about 100,000 trans people and allies showed up for London Trans Pride a month ago. Mainstream media coverage: tumbleweed.
More than 240 journalists killed by Israel, more than in WW1, WW2, Vietnam and every other war in the 20th century combined. This can only happen because they are deliberately targeting them. Which is a War Crime.

...often there isn't much you CAN do. especially since none of us have any fuckin' time/ money TO be there for one another. and the healthcare system is fucked. and most authority/ societal figures are questionable at best 😂 like, blessed are you if you have a nice, caring family!!
also i believe that the stigma around bipolar/mood disorders is still pretty severe... it stopped me from acting on it or speaking about it much, 'til now when I was starting to get desperate again mainly i think it's because a lot of people don't know what to do when people are in a high/low state
+ although I've been diagnosed with *a few* different things I'm glad at least this "mania" is relatively controlled like- I'll get really excited at a cool antique shop and start buying some things for myself + friends. I'm fkn poor and SHOULDN'T get a lot but I'll spend $100+ instead of $1000+ yk
