Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far and they cut all their heads off , when the rich get above themselves, the French just stop working and everyone remembers who actually holds the real power. Use your power. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.
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.
Those sneaky bastards!
Wait, wait, wait — read the actual study? Is that allowed? Where's my copy of The Internet Rulebook.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Mass! That's where I was born. I lived in Palm Beach County for 18 years and hated it the entire time. I miss the beach and the sunsets but that is all.
You used to follow me, maybe you could again?
This video is waaay too long, given what it’s documenting—books to be removed from all Edmonton Public Schools. Alberta, please don’t go the way of the U.S. and start banning books. 🎬@non_toxic_masculinity
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
If they really want the birth rate up, they’ll sacrifice dear leader. Gotta get that mirth rate up to get that birth rate up.
I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape
Federal Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has blocked the Trump Administration from deporting unaccompanied Guatemalan children.
Like the person who springs for lunch only to tell you that you "owe" them the next one.

I beg of you, abandon legacy media.
No.
Accountability would be a nice change of pace.
Americans living under Republican rule are fkd.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Shocking. I am shocked, I tell you.

Hell yes!
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
"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."
There are around 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the USA. Everything is carceral. You cannot interact with the government without interacting with police; this includes walking outside.
This is Huang Kuo-chang,Taiwan politician from TPP (pro-China) who’s been busy selling Taiwan out to China and also have a US anchor-baby as plan B if thing go south. This motherfucker who’s choking police officers shouldn’t be allowed into the US, even if he has a child here.
Cinema? Sure.
The destruction of public health in the United States is Bill Cassidy’s legacy. Never forget.
Feel Good Moment of the Day. American KID Edition. Time? Present. Magic still happens.
Abotion IS healthcare 8 married men in Texas, 4 married men in Tennessee, and 6 married men in Georgia have all been charged with murdering their pregnant girlfriends I'm pretty sure they'd all be alive today if the had had abortions
Keep up with the different surveillance technologies police are using across the U.S., from body-worn cameras to cell-site simulators. Stay informed using the Atlas of Surveillance. atlasofsurveillance.org/
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
People, please stop ruining my "he could be dead" party. Sure maybe JD can control a cult while being controlled by an in-fighting committee of trillionaire shadow POTUS bros. I don't think so. But even so, he'll still be very dead. Dead is good. We have to find joy where we can.
YEP! MAGGATs need to get the F’ out of America. This isn’t their country. Go to Russia or North Korea where you can live under dictatorship cuz that’s what u Voted for! #arresttrump

happy bday Armenian-American writer William Saroyan, b1908, Fresno, CA “The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness. “You must not be unkind, especially when it happens that you're right. “The role of art is to make a world which can be inhabited.”
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
I was thrilled to escape!
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
Did someone need a baby goat video?? 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Belly laughing!! LOL!😂

CHICAGO…
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Hoping they let Greta thru this time. We’d love that for her.
I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.
Took the 14-year-old out to breakfast this morning & dude chose violence—some excerpts: “Man, dad, your new glasses make you look like a philosophy major for real” “You’re 45, right? So you have what, like 25 years left?” “You’d probably like my English class—we’re reading some boring books”
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️

He is a fkn idiot who believes he is smarter than everyone.
Good job
One thing still missing from the Make America Healthy Again agenda: Affordable access to health coverage and care.
People really are that stupid. Huh.
Yesterday we went grocery shopping and although the US berries were cheaper, we bought all Canadian grown at a higher price. We did get our money’s worth as the Canadian berries were beautiful. Sorry not sorry. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
There are many here who would benefit greatly from perusing that dictionary.

How nice for you.
Like humans?
So you read the article?
Desperate to make those beaver hats and coats for the English?
'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
Nonetheless, there are still federal and state level protections. Whether those laws will be enforced is, of course, another thing altogether.
The collar on that shirt. I had one very similar!
ALERT PSA from my friend Stephanie Nicole (a cat rescuer here in my area): "Y'all need to stop sending cats through Amazon. I tried to turn it on, and the batteries were dead. I'm pretty sure this cat is a dud."
Isn’t this amazing street art! It’s really a superb illusion, transforming a dull unloved space!!😊👏👏✨ Artist: Sérgio Odeith - a Portuguese🇵🇹 street artist known for his 3D murals & illusions!✨
Republicanism is arresting wildfire fighters mid-fire fighting because your racism is the most important thing.
That's inaccurate, there are protections but there are no mandated benefits, other than worker's comp.
He is scum.
Fuck trump
My Republican State Representative, Jeff Farnan, voted to sign away earned sick time after it passed by nearly 58%. He doesn’t care about the will of Missouri voters.
I forgot all about that logo! I used to see it when I worked at a Japanese company. Your kitty is ridiculously cute.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Compared to Canada, the US has virtually no employee protections. Mandated vacation? Unheard of! I'm an American living in Canada and I don't ever see myself moving back.
Ignorance is the only reason I can come up with.
Very disappointed to hear him say he would throw more money at law enforcement.

Could he be any less intelligent?
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Dead on, as usual.
Uh, 85 people being signed up for this silly ride actually makes me a little nervous. I hope most do the 50 because the 100 sucks (laudatory)
