Well a lot of us “laborers” still have to work today so there’s that
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
The surest and fastest route to social unrest is to drive people to hunger, threaten their health, and destroy their finances. His plan is to cause social unrest in order to invoke emergency power, and then perpetual rule. The very same plan was behind January 6.
This part
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
While I agree he is responsible for the outcomes of his inaction, he is not alone in his betrayal of justice and democracy.
As a group, we are not bright
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.🤷♂️
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!

. People are told food, water, and power are unaffordable. That’s false. What costs a fortune? Corporate executives squeezing every dime for their profits. The rest is smoke and mirrors. .
Same. They are so much better than most people
Let’s review..
Straight white men every freaking time. It’s exhausting
‼️‼️
Two front war staged from Canada and Mexico
And actually listen to the answers
Made me smile so thought I’d share
And yet the world asks why Americans don’t get off the couch to save democracy. Bitches, we are, but corporate media is never gonna let that on air. They’ve got too much to lose if we win.
They cheated the last 3 times and they will continue to do that until we stop them
Where’s his energy for the group that actually commits 98% of mass shootings? Straight white men need therapy and a curfew to keep the rest of us safe.
Because Kamala didn’t come for my Queer community and he did. Great comms team work he’s got going for him but that’s about it.
I’ve never served in the military and this absolutely enrages me. Can’t imagine how veterans and those currently serving must feel about this.
Not sure, but what little I know of Japanese culture, this is not something done lightly. This is likely a bigger deal than it seems
IT DOESN’T IT DOESN’T DO THAT AT ALL IT REFRAMES PREVENTABLE DEATHS AS INEVITABLE AND VICTIMS AS WILLING MARTYRS WHO ARE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF DEAD NOW IT IS A DIABOLICAL THING TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO STOP THIS SHIT AND REFUSING TO DO IT
Texas voters, Texas removed 100k voters from the voter rolls. Please spread the word and check your registration and re-register if necessary. thehill.com/homenews/484...
“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.” - Aristotle Crime goes down when people’s basic needs are met. Period. End of story. #chicago #crime #poverty #nationalguard
I’ll bet she has or will shortly
Exactly
“Where is Democratic leadership?” -Ali Velshi That’s a fantastic question.
It’s going to get so much worse. People have their heads buried in the sand. Hope they wake up before there’s only straight white Christian men and their brood mares left alive.
Agreed more turnout would’ve made a difference. Some reports seem to indicate massive fraud in a few particular counties. She won and I’ll never forgive corporate Dems for not fighting - not even a little. Then they have the nerve to ask for money and people to vote for them. Rolling eyes onto floor
We have fallen so far. 10 years ago, they’d still be doing updates every other night on the news. Spotlight her career. Let her family share her worth. People have so much coming at them now, we can’t only hold space for the previous 24 hours I guess. Except #Epstein - haven’t let that go yet
I worked with criminals, predators and pedophiles in my previous job (no it wasn’t Congress). It is a twisted pleasure that they get from making people hurt in every way possible. But it can get much worse. Please encourage everyone you know to get engaged in some small way. Sand in the gears …
For sure the same. But that requires a level of awareness too many Americans just don’t have. Many just bury their heads and hope it’ll go away. I fear by the time they figure out how bad it’s gonna get, it’ll be too late.
No 🐝 s left behind. We need all of that energy we can get nowadays.
Best answer yet
Problem is we are a big country. We need truckers pilots and trains running to get people their meds and food and such. I’m not disagreeing with the concept. I’m trying to figure out how to implement it. Most of the folks I know are considered essential workers. Office folks better get organized
Are they going to change the flag protocols? Because I burn mine in accordance with those protocols to dispose of a worn / frayed flag almost every spring after I put up my new one.
This part. Laws are irrelevant if no one enforces them
Real tired of “those aren’t real Christians.” Yeah… they are. The history of Christianity is pretty clear in that regard. Religion has been willing to marry itself to all manner of horrific shit, if power is the reward. As paths to power go, the only thing special about it its effectiveness.
“We need to admit to, confront, and change the racism in the American justice system that decides who is stopped by police, who is arrested, who is searched, who is charged, who is prosecuted, and who isn’t, as well as look at who receives longer sentences and why and demand a fair and equal system.
“Reality and truth are never divisive.” Queer folk enter the chat.
Oh they’ll still blame us.
I am once again begging you to remember that "illegal" does not mean "impossible." "Illegal" does not mean "you cannot do that." It means that the government can, but is not required, to impose a penalty upon you if you do it anyway. No more, and no less.
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
New in PN: Trump’s targeting of Black communities is not a coincidence "Trump has never even pretended he’s the president for the entire United States. He’s the ruler of an overwhelmingly white sub-nation that seeks to subdue the country’s racially diverse urban centers."
There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.
Exactly. Any who aren’t taking action against it (showing up to protest, use their platform to spotlight, litigation, idgaf) now are complicit
Tell that to the Dems who keep throwing the queer community under the bus in hopes of gaining money/power/votes.
That’s a lot of cheddar
Same. Our library charges us because we live outside the city limits or it would still be one of my favorite places to go
Just a reminder that any teenager in the country can get a free library card from the Brooklyn Public Library and can check out eBooks and use online resources. A wonderful benefit for students facing book bans at home. www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/...
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
It would be the governors who will be refusing to federalize their state national guards (they alone have the authority to deploy the troops). I agree with you that the governor’s should decide (urgently) how to best use those troops to protect our citizens. And yes it will get sticky
Add #Reebok to the list of those fawning toward fascism. If we boycott them on a large scale, we could make them regret it
I live in Maryland. Tonight on the local news they spent more time talking about baby name trends and summer sweet treats than they did on the confederacy occupying Washington, D.C. The disorientation will continue until morale improves.
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
💙🐈🐈⬛💙 Current federal agencies cannot be trusted to protect the citizens of the United States. They are nothing more than policing thugs controlled by Trump.
Media is no longer any place to get info from. Media is in the pocket of the corrupt people in the white house and congress.
Sounds like it was a personal growth kinda thing - every step forward for our community counts.
Use it like slam poetry
When they say “crime is up,” they don’t mean actual violations of law. By crime, they mean visible evidence of unsheltered homelessness. They mean immigrant communities that violate their assumptions about what languages & cultures should be present. And they want to incarcerate both out of sight.
Such bullshit the others signed. C’mon folks. This is why we can’t have nice things. And stop looking to black women to fix it. Ffs
Same.
Wondered the same thing. C’mon people. We can’t even get the basic Dem unity stuff right.
Almost always is
Can anyone in Texas tell us how citizens are reacting to their state lawmakers locking a Black woman inside the statehouse for refusing to sign up for a mandatory police escort?
I don’t think their end plan is to incarcerate them
Agreed: request denied
In some states, you must declare a political party to vote in that party’s primary election
White male lawmakers are controlling a Black woman in Texas, detaining her in an enclosed space until she signs a piece of paper agreeing to a 24-hour police escort. Gosh, I wonder what THAT sounds like? I will NEVER forgive the folks who voted for this man. NEVER.
All of this
Ghislaine Maxwell has more rights than Texas Dem legislators.
The corporate Dems running the party are never going to to let meaningful change happen. They can’t even find their way to endorse their own candidate for mayor of NYC. All most of them do is blab and ask for money. So done
The ice cream of the future has been available at the ball park in Seattle for a couple decades
Yes republicans have more guns.
This is a big part of the problem
Just because we don’t fetishize/worship our weapons doesn’t mean we don’t own and know how to use them. Conservatives always seem to forget that.
Yes we definitely need to hear more from old white men. Their voices have been missed 🙄
🤣🤣 words matter I always say - my bad
Turning on queer folk doesn’t win my vote but we’re used to it I guess
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
This. If he and the other corporate Dems had that kind of fire for this regime, we wouldn’t be in this deep of a hole
There is no liking this version of our country. If you can afford to send your kid to a private school, then you can drive them or pay for their Ubers. But Dayton, Ohio decided to dump the burden on the public school kids instead and prioritized school buses for the private schools.
The President's reckless actions targeting DC autonomy mean many of our unhoused neighbors are at immediate risk. 🚨 If you or a neighbor need support, call the shelter hotline immediately at 202-399-7093. DC government has expanded availability. More resources: ➡️
That is true
Ok so they did catch him. Cause a lot of those guys didn’t make it half way down the block before needing a breather so I thought maybe he escaped 😂
Same
I don’t think those two are the church’s worst image problem but I guess everyone’s overlooking pedos these days
This part
Privileged people *feeling* unsafe does not justify *making* marginalized people even more unsafe.
More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy. This seems kinda significant.
Do I know any lawyers barred in Washington STATE that could help me file a sister state judgment for a judgment I won in California? It would be in King County. Thanks!
But the Queer community is definitely the problem 🙄
The not so “secret” police is gathering.
It wasn’t about porn. It’s not about video games. It’s not the edge case distractions. They want to make queerness a thing taboo to have in public life again. And they are starting where it is most visible and where people currently show support. Queer folk, stay dangerous. Keep each other safe.
