Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?

I think @nadler.house.gov stepping down in favor of someone younger is great. And I also think good longtime members like him who have always voted for progressive causes have earned the right to decide what they want to do.

Somewhere in Iceland.
Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.

Hand-painted celestial escape in the Méliès fantasy THE KINGDOM OF THE FAIRIES. The film was available as an entire presentation or as separate sequences. Fairy extravaganzas were big business on the stage but the movies made them available to all.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
You know how sometimes we find toxic waste that’s been haphazardly dumped decades ago and think, “what the fuck were they thinking?” That’s how the future will think about almost everything we’re doing in 2025.
Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
I love libraries and librarians so much. Here's why: When you request a copy of a book at a library, EVERYONE in that community gets access. For FREE. Which is why people who request #TheDoubleTax at their local libraries are EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA special. #librarysky #booksky
Medicare for all. Paid leave. Universal childcare. Break up corporate monopolies. Take on Wall Street greed. Get big money out of politics. Support unions. Raise wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda.

When the canary in the coal mine kicks, you don’t shrug, keep working, and put in an order on Amazon Prime for more vulnerable birds. You get the fuck out of the mine, and work on fixing whatever the issue so that it’s safe for canaries.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭

His career in public service should be the envy of any young person looking to change the world and do so with integrity. Well done, Congressman. Take a bow. And thank you for always showing up to lead the way to a better future. /thread
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
From today’s hike.
And whilst I'm at it, here's 4 of my favourite tree photos, from back along. I guess I'm re-introducing myself to people. Hi!
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

If the CDC was going to publish these guidelines its scientists had an obligation to review the evidence behind them. But HHS officials rebuffed repeated requests. “The answer was no—they declined to share any of the materials that they were using to support that decision…CDC has never seen it.”
Ditto.

For those LGBTQ people who are unable to spend Labor Day holiday with family due to rejection, please know you are worthy of unconditional love and acceptance.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Geoff Bennett: You say that poetry is not useful, and that's exactly why we need it. Why? David Duchovny: "We want to get educated to be able to work, to have a job of some kind, which is great and it's necessary. But we've lost sight of educating a mind on how to think or a soul how to feel."

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
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.

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.
lol accidentally writing a book that meets the exact political and economic moment was not on my bingo card. #GodsPlan

According to @epi.org, Black women are OVERREPRESENTED in the federal workforce. Black women makeup 9.2% to be exact. That's not an issue until you realize where the massive cuts are taking place and who tends to get cut from the workplace first. This is #TheDoubleTax. 🤷🏿♀️

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.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Had a random declare that movie people who name forgotten actors are being smug. You have no idea! I have so much social capital in naming Harry Liedtke and Ossi Oswalda! People rise when I enter the room, crowds roar, I never have to pay for my own drinks... Or maybe we're just having fun
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
