It’s right here folks, in plain sight! “Trump Named in Jeffrey Epstein Files, Justice Department Confirms” WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO CONFIRM? Just run with THAT!
Happening NOW! Thousands of protesters gathered in DC, right now at 14th and UNW, to protest against Trump's takeover of DC

IT WONT BE CRIME FREE UNTIL YOU DON’T LIVE THERE THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in D.C. convened an emergency hearing on Sunday and ordered the operation to stop.The court made it clear— >> No child can be removed without proper legal process. >>The government must return the children to shelters, and deportations are suspended until further hearings.
ICE agents, or the mall cops of immigration, make more than most teachers. How wrong is that?
C’mon everybody! You ready for field work?
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Let's help each other. 🥰
Happy Labor Day & thank UNIONS for the weekend!
#RobinWilliams #filmsky #moviesky 💔🔄
One of my fave guys (you) wishing one of my other fave guys (Colbert) well makes this a great day in my book. #HappyLaborDay to you too @markhamillofficial.bsky.social! 💜
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay

Agreed! Generally, I don't ask for support on this platform, but if you're looking for an org to support, make your gift to the #NationalImmigrationLawCenter. They're fighting this, and many other illegal kidnappings, in court right now. (BTW, I am not affiliated with NILC in any way.) nilc.org ✊🇺🇸💙
She sure does deserve a prize!👇
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:
Wow, love everything about this. @ppfa.org #TattooThis #mythbusting #breakingdownstereotypes ✊🇺🇸💙
Not all hero’s wear capes, some wear tattoos! Tattoo shops in Bellingham, Washington held a fundraising event for Planned Parenthood. People started lining up at 4AM. 100% of the proceeds went to PPGWNI. Planned Parenthood saves lives! #PlannedParenthood #NotAllHerosWearCapes
#BelieveThem #IStandWiththeSurvivors #ReleasetheFiles
Still Talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump #epstein #sextrafficking #abuse
Would definitely do this, thanks for sharing @porpentina2017.bsky.social! 💙
Timeline cleanser (as we all collectively bite our nails) THIS IS A THING? I WANNA DO THIS!! I would definitely exercise more if I could do this!! This looks like a gas (and low impact)!
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
It absolutely infuriates me anytime the GOP says they stand with the military.
Did you know that the real crime problem...the real violence problem is in red states, not blue states? Watch Governor Newsom school Trump & push back!
Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days. That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that. And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people.
#FreeDC #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike ✊🇺🇸💙
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
Only after revolution will any of that happen

So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.

@politicaled.bsky.social @bill-maxwell.bsky.social @sydfish.bsky.social @murielvieux.bsky.social WELL, IT'S "WAITING AROUND TO DIE" SUNDAY ACROSS TRUMPFUCKISTAN AMERICA #NoKings #NoDictators #NoPedoPresidents #2028Bitches #ProtestThePresident #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp #TACO
I stole the comment of the day. "I’m from San Diego. My mom was back home visiting my grandpa and some lady screamed “Speak English” to a gentleman speaking Spanish. My mom (a stubborn old white lady) goes “Ma’am. Say San Diego in English. I’ll wait. I’m retired and have the time” 😂"
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
Somewhere in Iceland.
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Just sayin’.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Virginia Giuffre should have turned 42 this year, but her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child and as a teen. She was brave, resilient and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight and demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/WEVRrXIk
Thank you for this spot-on message @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and #HappyLaborDay!
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
I ♥️ Stephen Colbert
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Over a million immigrants disappeared from the workforce this year, and Americans aren't rushing to fill the openings. Pew Research found immigrants accounted for: -45% in farming, fishing and forestry -30% in construction -24% in service -43% in home healthcare Labor Day without the laborers.
Thank you for sharing @nortygirl.bsky.social. Folks, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-post this far and wide. EVERYONE should watch this to bear witness, support the survivors, and ensure that they #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles. ✊🇺🇸💙
This Wednesday..... let the truth come out....
Thank you for sharing @henshinhal.bsky.social and thank you Representative Garcia for taking action. This, plus tomorrow's press conference with the survivors, gives me hope. 🤞✊🇺🇸💙
We must take our country back no matter by what means!👊😡👊😡👊
Yesss! Thank you for speaking truth to power @kamalaharris.com and #HappyLaborDay! ✊🇺🇸💙
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
Thanks @victinibcn.bsky.social and keep it up #DCpeeps!! With you in spirit, physically be with you soon! ✊🇺🇸💙 #GoDCGo #NationalGuardners #GetOutAlready
Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
Amen to that. Netflix is #ontherightsideofhistory and then some.
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.
What if most ppl arent actually still seething about an event from five years ago and the only ppl that are are extremely online weirdos and the reason why a lot of our news media & our political class cant see the forest for the trees on this is bc they too are way too online?
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
California stepping up.
This is how I'd like to see him go
♥️ me some #Buster&Kitty! Made my day, thanks so much for sharing @niallharbison.bsky.social! 🐾
Buster is still one of my all time favorite rescues. He spent his life living on a short chain on cold concrete because he was too "vicious". His love affair with his mum Kitty is a thing of pure beauty
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
Amazing. Reminds me there is still some good in the world with good people in it. ♥️ #thisistheway #rightsideofhistory
#FreeDC #NationalGuardners #GTFOutAlready
Chanting #FreeDC with 16,000-ish #WashingtonSpirit fans at Audi Field. Elijah and I expressed our concerns to these armed soldiers about militarized policing in a nearly-empty Waterfront Metro station. Nothing going on here...why the need for armed soldiers...
Wow. Same. And de nile truly ain't just a river in Egypt. 😉🙄🤪
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
🎤
I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
Calling the day done it is like the last two weeks fell on me. Yet no matter what is going on I will not fail to remind you that you're loved by someone on this blue/green marble.
Same as his actions in DC! Where are the Epstein files?👇
💯
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
