LABOR DAY 2025 Mary (Mother Jones) Harris "The first thing is to raise hell,” says I. “That’s always the first thing to do when you’re faced with an injustice and you feel powerless. That’s what I do in my fight for the working class." Mother Jones
Of course, he didn't have a chance against the ruling class. But he did receive a million votes in 1920, an amazing show of support.
The question is unnecessary for whom? If it's for keeping their leader in power, they may consider it necessary.
Cump had a way with words!
👍👍
😊 I think it won't matter much. When Calvin Coolidge died, Dorothy Parker asked, "How can they tell?"
Yup. And most eligible voters didn't vote for either of these miscreants.
Agreed. It infuriates me. (But I do appreciate "camo undies").
Absolutely. The opposition should be resoundingly calling him out for using illegitimate foreign exploits as diversion.
I'm not surprised. But Batshit Been Bobby blames SSRIs.
True. And they're at it again. www.newsweek.com/republican-b...
Precisely. Thank you!
Tecumseh was one brilliant guy.
Yup. That's the point alright.
🤣
LABOR DAY 2025 Debs' words from 1904 "While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." Eugene V. Debs
I'm sure you know the story behind the crying Indian commercial and the Coca Cola industry.
Damn, Uncle Whiskers, don't you ever get tired of getting things right?
Exactly. And of course, there's the diversion from domestic failings like demolishing the public sector and other neoliberal obscenities.
And diversion. When a POTUS wants to gain support at home, it's what they do, relying on us to tie a yellow ribbon round our brains. I was wondering which country it would be for DJT.
Oops, I just cross-posted that. Great minds?
Yup. And the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Spot on! Can't have countries controlling their own land and resources can we? (God just mistakenly put U.S. oil under their soil)
ECONOMY FAILING? EPSTEIN FILES WON'T GO AWAY? The ships on their way to Venezuela sure seem like another "Remember the Maine" moment to me. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...
At least he's even too weird for most Republicans, so there's that.
🤣
HAPPY LABOR DAY Let's keep and strengthen: ✔️8-hour workday ✔️Unemployment Benefits ✔️Workers Compensation Laws ✔️Employer-Based Health Coverage ✔️Family and Medical Leave Act ✔️Workplace safety AND THANK A UNION
YES!
Thank you!
And their position here is neutral. You smelled a rat, but not all are so well-attuned to rodents.
Right you are! This Berkshire Hathaway rich kid clearly opposes democracy. Of course, I've no proof he's behind these fraudulent mailings. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...
😜 Yeah, I feel ducky too.
Many thanks! Back at you. ❤️
Exactly. They want the public sector, indeed our whole federal government dismantled with the spoils divided up among billionaires.
Thank you for this article! Fossil fuel purveyors drive policies on both sides of the pond. Their think tanks, immense lobbying power, and lavishly-funded propaganda push a plutocratic agenda while threatening the natural world. Witness Koch Industries, The Heritage Foundation, and Project 2025.
CALIFORNIA FRIENDS - IGNORE THE DISINFORMATION. VOTE YES ON 50 Stop Trump from Rigging the 2026 Election
Er klingt sehr nach Trump
Right. AND flutter my lashes...
Could be. This account seems to think that if you follow "too many" people, you are likely spreading mis- or disinformation. That's a wild leap of logic. I'm noticing that very small right wing or pro-MAHA people are very likely to be misinformers.
Yup. Fortunately, he has the charm of a cold toilet seat, so I don't see him inheriting DJT's loyal followers.
I pray he doesn't return to the Oval Office and that his illness determined to be due to something Bobby fed him.
He may be having a cardiac procedure performed or possibly a blood clot removed.
😂
I met him in 1987. I think the problem was he was trying to be a saint. And he didn't fear capitalism enough.
😂 You mean an engineer. I'm an internist. A few centuries ago, I would been burnt as a witch.
Perfect. Or I'm imagining the lot of them, right out of Julius Caesar.
Not necessarily bilateral DVT (although possible, especially if for some reason he had a hypercoagulable condition. But with venous bilateral venous insufficiency a unilateral clot might form.
😂 Melania...
🤭 Why did I ever doubt this administration's commitment to science?
Thanks. Makes sense. Hematologist/oncologist that I am, I thought he might have been anticoagulated for pulmonary emboli from deep venous thromboses. But why would that make him disappear from sight?
CUSHIONING THE BLOW?
Thank you!
Except of course, it's not socialism which implies public ownership. It's Donnie divvying up the spoils for the billionaires he represents.
And then of course, there was Vance's recent statement about being ready to serve as POTUS.
HONOR, RESPECT, AND PROTECT WORKERS ON LABOR DAY They feed us.
BILLIONAIRES NO. UNIONS YES!
Indeed!

Good summation. You're right. Species can't adapt that rapidly. And the rate of rise of greenhouse gases is greater than the living earth has ever seen. Ice cores show that evidence for 800,000 years. It is likely that we haven't seen this rate of rise for 65 million years.
I know the feeling. His worm knows as much about cellular organelles.
👍👍
Agreed. This is full-blown Nazi Sheisse.
Yes! Hope he can get out of his contract for a few seasons.
I didn't think of that. I wonder if that will be the case. I'm betting it will be considered off-label. Our medical groups (at least here in California) will likely offer it to providers.
Yes! Better Doogie than these gravediggers.
Lunacy and the death of public health programs - indeed the entire public sector.
😊 I'd rather see our equine friend in charge.
A study published in JAMA found a 117% increase in heat-related deaths in the United States between 1999 and 2023, with a significant acceleration in mortality rates since 2016. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam....
Thank you! I hadn't seen this. Climate science deniers love to point out that more people die annually from cold than heat. While still true, it's the trajectory that matters. Heat deaths have been increasing dramatically in the last 30 years.
Unfortunately very, very seriously. Billionaire-funded anti-science campaigns have been long in the works (Big Tobacco, Big Oil), but now the misinformation cauldron is seasoned with eugenics and techno-christo-fascism.
As would I - in a heartbeat! Instead we're on a long day's journey into eugenic night.
Nightmarish and then some. And so many of the future tombstones will be tiny ones.
Exactly. But Junior and the new director DO have extensive experience in disseminating disinformation.
Exactly. And many of those tombstones will be tiny ones for innocents.
I hate to dignify this line of reasoning, but in this case the person would have been receiving FEMALE hormones, not rage-inducing high dose testosterone like Batshit Bobby is taking.
Now I just call it The Center for Disease.
My Gov Gavin's got game!
😂
Thank you!
I needed that.
👍👍
Oh holy hell. Please investigate Batshit Bobby's gender-affirming testosterone usage and his danger to all American lives.
This regime is trying to dismantle the entire public sector and privatize our federal government.
Understood.
If only I had such power. We boycott, sue, sign petitions, march, practice civil non-cooperation. Next? I support a general strike.
May there BE a post-Trump rebound.
Right. SSRIs. Bobby won't stop the killings. He can't stop himself from killing.
Yup. But the billionaire class detests good education. And they're running this asylum for now.
Sheesh. I shouldn't be surprised.
Please trade 🙏
I'm not too surprised. The fascist part was what caught me off a few years ago.
😊
I'm so sorry.
😊 He's a Conservative, but sure. Trade ya?
Why not? Silicon Valley is the shit hole of my state, just oozing with amoral maggots.
Oh, holy hell. The creepy techno-christo-fascists' dream. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea...
😂
You're being very kind.
