DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.

You know. Even if he isn't dead it's sure weird he won't talk to reporters and we only get to see him Bigfoot style from a distance. Not to put on my tinfoil hat but maybe someone should ask to see him face to face because this is how puppet governments happen.
They're doing more to prevent another rainbow crosswalk than they are to prevent another mass shooting like the one that inspired the rainbow crosswalk.
😳 He's really dead!

This thread documents heartbreaking abandonment of morality and the fight against it.
Miscarrying and need a D&C? Good luck! Have an ectopic pregnancy and your life is in endanger? Good luck! Elderly/immune compromised and want to update your Covid vaccine? Good luck! Have a violent past and/or mental health issue and want to buy an AR-15 to kill people? No fucking problem!
Go on. Take a wild guess who was president both times.
John Prine's wife, Fiona, came to Tanglewood tonight, & Bonnie Raitt played the most beautiful, heart-wrenching "Angel From Montgomery" I've ever heard. Completely wrecked me & I loved it ✨️🎶
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?

BREAKING: Chilling words about Trump and the 2026 elections by Illinois Governor Pritzker: "He would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Since Trump entered politics, hate crimes upon LGBTQIA have more than doubled.

The biggest news story in the news right now is that the president of the United States hasn't made a public appearance or spoken to the protective pool in four days and the White House is actively lying about his activities, yet no news organization is covering it.
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
The thing about those 600 minors being deported is none of them were in the Epstein files like Trump is.
America doesn't need a lawyer playing doctor – let alone one who's a cult-following science-denier. Get RFK jr the fuck out of our government. Now.
These are Nazis in the worse sense of the term. Sociopaths and psychos. Hannibal Lector had nothing on this bunch. No wonder Trump obsessed so much about him.
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
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.
Underage means not old enough to consent to anything. Sex. Business arrangements. Contracts. These were victims, pure and simple.
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
That is not counting payouts on lawsuits for brutalizing prisoners and not limiting fed abuse of prisoners in their state.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
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
Never Stop Fighting If we ever lose touch, just know I’ll never stop fighting. If we ever get separated, I will never stop fighting. If we ever are detained, I will never stop fighting. If we are ever attacked, I will never stop fighting. If we are never free again, I will never stop fighting.
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
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:
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
Saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the Omni in Atlanta early 70's. Four sets, best concert I have seen. Encore was 20 min version of Southern Man.
In an act of resistance to Stephen Miller, I am curating a playlist for “old white hippies”. Would love your recommendations! Don’t hold back now. I’m dedicating: youtu.be/YdVMGKOFIwY?...

“Firefighter arrested by US border agents was on track for legal status, lawyers say. Lawyers say arrest of man fighting Bear Gulch fire in Oregon was illegal and demand immediate release from detention. “ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The GOP hates women and children, who are the most likely to be victims of gun violence.
The old sleight of hand. This is how they conduct business.
Trump is a man who only touches grass between the golf cart and the putting green. Ever in his life.
Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared
When the day comes that the Dictator in the WH is no longer on this earth, I will forever remember those who supported him, and/or failed to loudly oppose him. Accountability is a prerequisite to our societal healing and evolution.
How did things go for the seditious conspirators of Mussolini? It seemed they didn't hang around too long....
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
It certainly is not official duties of a president. Assume NG this was done via a connection to a New York bank, or other blue state, time far a blue state AG to step up with criminal charges.
Love this !
Actually, he thinks that he is the state, and that everything should be controlled by the state, as long as he's the state.
Take the putt, Donnie
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
Bill Cassidy is a physician who is being humiliated daily by Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s craven prioritization of his own power over the health and safety of his constituents and of the United States of America. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s powerlessness to stop him.

What, no "thank you for your attention to this matter"?!
Don’t act suspicious, don’t act suspicious….
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Dr Demetre Daskalakis is one of the big CDC officials who just resigned. He said RFK Jr never met with experts from his division, not even for briefings on measles, COVID, or RSV, in the seven months he has served. “He has never been briefed by any human from my center about anything.”
Fatality.
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
💀 Video of the destruction of Russian elevator from which they launched drones at people on the right bank of the Kherson region.
Blue states that sued kept most CDC grants, while red states feel brunt of Trump clawbacks nevadacurrent.com/2025/08/26/b...
It is clear that in his current state, whether mental decline, physical infirmity, or both, Trump is no longer presentable to the public. JD Vance stepping up to say he's ready to takeover the Presidency would not happen if Trump's situation was not a matter of grave concern.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
So, "no".
Labor Day was created to honor the contributions of workers whose labor built this nation. But I won’t forget that the foundation of America was built on the back of slavery. Black Americans, whose labor was stolen, whose lives were exploited, and whose sacrifice has never been fully repaid.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
Ah fuck my lawyer got drunk & kidnapped a woman & then her husband went to save her but he hit my lawyer’s car from behind when my lawyer slammed on the brakes to pull in to a gas station to buy boner pills 🇺🇸🗽
98% of those representing us in the LEGISLATIVE branch of government receive funding from the Israeli lobby. Yes. A staggering 523/535 of the combined US Reps & Senators of the PEOPLE are funded to support ISRAEL’s agenda. How is that a democracy?? This shit has BEEN dead.
What libs don’t understand is that the President has decided to go and live in a beautiful farm upstate where there are plenty of open green fields and he can run and run and run.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
Ex-U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul slammed Trump’s Ukraine strategy as “atrocious,” saying his push for talks while selling arms to Europe only emboldens Putin, who keeps expanding the war without consequences. www.rawstory.com/michael-mcfa...
Have a feeling Chicago ICE deployment may be an inflection point. It has to come at some point, and he's going to force every single American to pick a side.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
And took their money and gave it to billionaires, including himself.
Bottom line is should never be necessary. US Taxpayers find the CDC and related health services. These vaccines should be freely available to anyone who wants one, with only the CDC weighing in on any scientifically and medically sound cautions. Trump has limited access for taxpayers
Our country is being stripped for parts. That's far more important than the alcoholic Rudy Giuliani getting rear ended. Whoever did it should have rammed him harder.
So said "victim" was in his car at the time if the crash?
So, yes?
Trump equates "without tariffs, the rich would have to pay more in taxes" with "the country would be destroyed". Serious case of "let them eat cake".
How much is Musks bonus again? Funded by the local as of jobs of the blue collar workers just to make him a little richer. This GOP style trickle down, or trickle on.
CNN platforming Seb Gorka Martha Raddatz at ABC Interviewing Gov Wes Moore & being unhinged. Wes Moore needs to ask why she’s defending a rapist. Ask if her questions were written by Stephen Miller. Wes needs to pushback on a bought off press. I don’t get the constant defense mode. Offense only.
Classic Trump pay to play grifting, graft and corruption.
Is this where the homeless people they’ve already removed are? What are the charges? Where are their pets? Have their families been notified?
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Soon to be a new.ber of the Trump administration. Seems to fit right in with Stephen Miller and the gang.
Science is real
And - winter is coming.
