SHL was out in force today with about 150 other protesters in Hanahan as part of the "Workers over Billionaires" event. We made ourselves heard and then joined the ILA for Labor Day celebration. Power to the People! ✊🏼 lowcountryhumanists.org/workers-over...

I was very upset at the latest increase to my Netflix subscription but now I don’t GAF.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

If you look back at the ways Hitler and the Nazi regime used emergency powers and fear to rise to power, the echoes from 1933 are hard to miss. Trump may not be a gay Hitler fish, but he sure does love those Nazi fish sticks. www.britannica.com/topic/Enabli...

Hundreds of bills passed this year in Texas. SB 12 bans diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in public school hiring and training. Under the bill, parents would have to opt their children into family planning and sexual education courses. bit.ly/4oWJws5
Support for Trump amongst his youngest voters is already collapsing. And, trust me, we’re gonna keep dragging it down. 🫡

Ms. von der Leyen joined other European leaders at the WH last month to back up Zelensky as he met with Trump. Those efforts to press for a lasting security guarantee and an immediate cease-fire have failed to yield a clear path forward for peace in Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
Trump wants to erase Black history stating it’s too “woke,” not enough energy is spent on American "Success" and "Brightness.” Our nation is great because of Black geniuses. There are so many inventions by Black people. Often never receiving proper recognition for their valuable contributions.
If you work to earn your money, you are a worker. Labor Day is your day to celebrate the 40-hour work week, weekends off, and more. If your income comes from dividends or profits, you are a capitalist. Labor Day should remind you of the workers who make that possible.
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.
The epic trolling continues! 😭☠️😭 #Pinks #LoserTrump #GoGavin
Chick-fil-A abruptly begins closing stores as economic crisis accelerates. All across America, restaurants are going dark. “Closed” signs are popping up as jobs disappear. The downturn has come for everyone – even Chick-fil-A. share.newsbreak.com/eswuvvcz?s=i16

Take a look at what Columbia SC did today! #workersoverbillionaires #scpol
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't spend your days golfing, watching Fox News, disappearing US citizens, forcing women to give birth against their will, destroying democracy, and covering up the Epstein files. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Federal minimum wage is way below a living wage. Support workers unionizing to bargain for better pay. Misnamed “Right to Work” laws empower corps. like Starbucks & Amazon to suppress union organizing. Fight back against oligarchs & exploitative corps.!

If Luigi Mangione had supported or donated to Trump, he would have been pardoned by now.
Hell, he’d probably be on staff
We need to keep our eyes on the situation in Europe. Yesterday, France has ordered all His hospitals to be ready for war, telling Them to be in a ready State to Receive Up to 15 000 injured per Day. It's Says that IT could happen in Early 2026. If they have a war, NATO will enter.

Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
according to the government. The idea behind the Indian Adoption Project (IAP) was to assimilate Indigenous children into "white culture". The IAP began in 1958 and ended in 1967. The cultural impact is still felt today. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedtoTam✡️🕊 www.mprnews.org/story/2017/0...
In the decades after World War II hundreds of Native American children in the US were taken from their communities and given to white families. The government implemented the Indian Adoption Project. Children were removed from their homes because their parents were "unfit" (cont)
despite accounts of neglect, abuse, and death at these schools. Although boarding schools were phased out in the early 20th century, the government came up with another way to disrupt Indigenous culture: Adoption into white families. (cont) www.vox.com/2019/10/14/2...
were forced to cut their hair, not speak their native language or observe their cultural practices, and use Anglo-American names. As a result, the children struggled to reconnect with their families upon returning home. This practice continued (cont) www.history.com/articles/how...
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵Did you know that Government boarding schools were implemented as a "legal" means to forcibly remove Indigenous children from their families? This was genocide on a cultural level. The children(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy www.history.com/articles/gov...

Netflix co-founder, Reed Hastings, has given $2 million dollars to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes. This is to counter Texas’ GOP gerrymandering with a new map designed to oust California Republicans. Let’s do this!! 🔥
Virginia Giuffre should have turned 42 this year, but her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child and as a teen. She was brave, resilient and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight and demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/WEVRrXIk
Trump’s coup runs on fear—chained votes, stolen seats, silenced voices. But from TX to CA to NY, rebellion is breaking those chains. Mississippi proves we can win. The question isn’t IF we resist—it’s HOW hard we fight. 🔥 social.demcast.com/s/DlKnbLQT
📢 📢 TEN-HUT National Guard, ICE, U.S. military and law enforcement‼️ NEVER FORGET: From Adolf Hitler to "America's Hitler" (according to JD Vance), history is NOT on the side of anyone who gives--OR follows--orders to commit atrocities against their own people.
Is it fair to say that White Americans historically received advantages that contributed to a head start over Black and Brown Americans? I say yes. What do you think? #ProudBlue #USDemocracy #ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory
🧵3/3 Democrats, This Is Our Moment. Will We Seize It? There's a growing, existential fear about AI job loss in America. Dems should be messaging & campaigning on how massively disruptive AI will be to white & blue collar workers if AI's oligarch owners aren't checked:
🧵2/2 Enjoy Labor Day; While You Still Have A Job The fact that so many politically attuned Cartoonists see an impending tsunami of AI-induced job loss coming & chose to editorialize about it now, is a sign AI is a potent, popular issue. Can the Democratic Party read the room?
Enjoy Labor Day; While You Still Have A Job #ABlueView🧵1/3 I've been reposting Labor Day cartoons for nearly 20 years but this year there's a revealing change: a very high proportion of this year's editorial cartoons are about AI's potential to massively destroy American jobs.
“Immigrants make up almost 20% of the U.S. workforce and that data shows 45% of workers in farming, fishing and forestry are immigrants…About 30% of all construction workers are immigrants and 24% of service workers are immigrants.” abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

Workers are reclaiming the term ‘Redneck.’ The word has roots in labor movements, where it was used as a term of honor by coal miners who wore red bandanas, and in a more self-conscious and even complimentary way by populist voters who adopted it as a badge of class pride.

What is the administration hiding? Is the bruise on the back of Trump's hand from an IV? What is he being treated for? The American people deserve to know whether the President is cognitively capable of doing his job. This isn't governing.
This #LaborDay, let’s honor the millions who live in the shadows yet keep the American machine running. They deserve our respect. This means refusing to remain silent in the face of unnecessarily violent or aggressive ICE tactics. 🔗 tinyurl.com/bddybhk7

Would you agree that Krusty Gnome is a big ol fake crock(pot) of Shit?
This is absolutely true. Orban and Trump are buddies.
Isn't it great that RFK Jr., a former heroin addict, who is missing part of his brain because it was eaten by a worm, and who swims in raw sewage, gets to make decisions about our health? 🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Heads up Chicago! While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town. These resources will be needed by someone.

On this first Labor Day of trump's second term a friendly reminder that everything now costs more since trump took office, well except the price of being a bigot. Congrats, MAGA. You’re just a poorer kind of hateful now.

While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.
Well, bad news, I believe that tRump is still sucking air. This is a short from Tim Miller of The Bulwark. It’s a quote from tRump complaining about the shoddy workmanship from when he had the Rose Garden destroyed. #Pinks #tRumpPOL #FucktRump #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles youtube.com/shorts/e1iCt...
I agree with you 100%
Palantir (Peter Thiel) just rec'd a 10 billion dollar contract with the US Army to meet "GROWING WARFARE DEMANDS". All BULLSHIT! We should be in the streets against Tech Bro takeover. Defense fund is approx. 1 trillion dollars per year because of this BS. Easiest way to steal from our government!

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit
Sunday #Pritzker said that no one from the #Trump administration has contacted his team, the CoC, or any other local officials. “It’s clear that they’re secretly planning this. If they actually send in US troops, it would amount to an invasion.” #SheShe www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They aren't getting paid by Russia unlike rightwing "influencers." I don't have a problem with folks on the left finally getting some support so they can fight back. This shit isn't free when you commit to it as more than a full time job.
Same! Good on them.
Good! It’s about time. Gunther and Benny and DC and Poso all get hundreds of thousands of dollars just from Twitter. That’s not even counting what they get from the RNC.
