Left-handed, left of center, & counting on being Left Behind. Left coast, natch. Utterly disgusted by brazenly corrupt GOP + weak response of many Democrats. Fascism incoming. 🤬 No interest in sales, self-promotion, & accounts that never interact.

Oh absolutely. It was completely out of character. Wishing everyone a “good” anything without taking the opportunity to bash a person or group? Heading to bed hours before his usual peak posting time? That wasn’t posted by him.

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.

Rhode Island passed a law banning mandatory anti-union employee meetings. Union-busting law firm Littler Mendelson held a webinar for employers about the law. And they essentially told employers... to break the law! We got the transcript and the PowerPoint: prospect.org/justice/2025...

(The 6:54pm timestamp was what those on the west coast saw—and, hilariously, what Gavin Newsom captured in his quote reply “night night grandpa!”—but the “good night” post was actually made at 9:54pm east coast time)

Leaders of several fed agencies together proposed Operation Warp Speed (OWS). Trump endorsed it, Congress passed it, & a task force + board were created. It was funded via CARES act. Fauci was a lead of the WH COVID task force. I don’t believe he initiated or ran OWS; he was a non-voting adviser.

Same photographer & agency are credited with couple other photos said to be from 8/30/2025. Another is here (though this time the source isn’t the photographer’s X account, unlike the red-hat one I posted). Note that “hits golf course” remains unsubstantiated. www.rediff.com/news/report/...

The one with the white hat is old, from the Scotland trip. However, the one with the red hat is from yesterday, based on the source of the photo on X being the photographer who shot it. Nathan Howard credited that photo to himself & Reuters. nathanhphotography.com/about-the-ph...
