The Finnish government has submitted a bill to parliament that would increase the military reserve by 125,000 people. If the initiative is adopted, by 2031 Finland’s wartime army will exceed one million personnel, making it the largest in the European Union.
I opened my own Little Free Library today ♥️ Pittsburgh friends...message me for the address!
@arimelber.bsky.social NO TRUMP IN WHITE HOUSE TODAY … your show today was deceiving as far as I’m concerned..TRUMP did not speak from WH..
This painting was done by artist Craig Mullins, one of my biggest inspirations in my art career.
Huzzah to all of them.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
oh god there's ppl on Walter Reed watch now

If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

We have lost a good one.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

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.

Labor Day beach report for Eureka California. About as crowded as usual.

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
The WAPO published a leaked document outlining a plan to forcibly displace all 2 million residents of Gaza and place the territory under U.S. trusteeship for "at least" 10 years. In other words, ethnic cleansing, a "final solution" done IN OUR NAMES...Y'all think real carefully about that.
Not to worry, he will recoup it all from the education budget.
But we should all feel sorry for white boys. They are feeling disenfranchised.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Ooooohh! Gavin said “bull shit”
Umm, anyone know what he's talking about?
I kee asking too. No signs of life anywhere and remember, Vance said with all his on the job training, he was ready. Imagine if Biden had disappeared for 5 days while his friends were meeting in China? Wait, did he sneak off to ge with the boys?
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Terrible grammar but terribly true.
I view this as more than human rights abuse this is a crime against our very humanity! I haven't believed in monsters since I was a kid 🧐👉🏼 but now I think I've changed my mind! 👺👹
Putin spoke at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit. He blamed the West for the "Ukrainian crisis" and said that "the root causes of the crisis" must be removed in order for peace to come. Looks like Putin has made his choice: he's going to continue the war.

Spread this on ..great lyrics and captures the time perfectly! This young man should get a Grammy! Pass it on
Where’s Donald?
I'm thinking he is hurt that his friends didn't invite him to the party in China that he needs to be alone in his grief. If not, surely he would have a presidential statement about the danger of this potential coalition.

I graduated High School 1967 only 40 miles outside SF. Weekends were for hanging out in Haight Ashbury, “head” shops on Market, picnics at Golden Gate Park, concerts at Fillmore in Oakland. What a great time and place to be 18. Paisley shirts, bell bottoms, long hair, blue sunglasses. ❤️
Labor Day message: The working poor want to create unions to help protect and expand their stake in this nations wealth. The wealthy and the corporations, likewise have a union to protect and perpetuate their grip on the nation’s business, it’s called CONGRESS.
I was already pretty done with the news media but seeing clips yesterday from the Sunday shows where an anchor is like “but what if living in a Police State does reduce car jackings? Why would you be against that?” probably was the end
Is that a rhetorical question?
Scary coalition building.
Fact: When Dr. Jane flew over Gombe, she saw the contrast between the lush landscape where she conducted her chimpanzee research and the barren, deforested areas surrounding that spot. She knew then that she had to dedicate herself to community-led conservation. 🌿 📸: JGI Tanzania / Bill Wallauer

Miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. This #LaborDay, remember the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights we enjoy today. h/t John Koehlor
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Beautiful.

If you are in or near Baltimore you should know that the Walters Art Museum (which is free!) has a small but wonderful exhibit about cats in medieval manuscripts
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Good that they are speaking out. Are they also gathering to figure out how to repair the damage to the system ?
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
