This isn’t just a long weekend. It’s a reminder that every right working people have - fair pay, safe conditions, and kids out of the mines - was fought for. And too often, it was bought with blood. #LaborDay #WorkersRights #Strike #Ohio #Labor #Workers #LaborDayWeekend #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Nice.
This is just one example of how Convicted Felon Donald Trump has hurt workers with his tariffs. HIS tariffs. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #FuckTrump #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
By anyone.
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

Because democracy, I guess - Ohio Republicans "term out" and go switch to another safe seat vacated by their buddy. That way - the same tired 'leadership' stays in place and nothing ever gets better. You cannot earn a safe seat. End gerrymandering. #Ohio #Democracy #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Vacation Planner J.D. Vance may just be a privileged jerk taking advantage of the system, but something more might lurk behind his travels. open.substack.com/pub/erichens...
If you have a big Democratic voice and you’re not using it to CONSISTENTLY AND LOUDLY, belittle, berate and trash Donald Trump…you’re wasting that power. If you’re afraid of pushback, or being untraditional …you need to step aside. This is fight time, not fold time.
JD Vance is the least funny joke. www.axios.com/2025/08/24/v...
There are few Ohioans that even know what it's like to have a fair election. Every Ohioan that hates Dems has no evidence their opinions are true. Dems haven't held the seats to make change. Gerrymandering hurts us all by allowing the lazy and extreme to hold power unjustly. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Serious question - why do some people fear and mock Mamdani talking about government owned grocery stores in places without grocery stores then praise Trump's government owned chip manufacturing - taking it from an active private company? #Hypocrite #Trump #Socialism #Mamdani #PrpudBlue #DemVoice1
Yup!

It’s not Alligator Alcatraz. The incarcerated folk there received a trial, however classist and racist the decision may have been. Call it Alligator Auschwitz because it’s accurate. No one has been tried. No one is guilty. And only 28% of those disappeared by ICE even have a so-called criminal past.

This is a cartoon from PragerU, the White House's preferred replacement for PBS, with Christopher Columbus saying slavery is "No big deal" better than death. PragerU is already in schools and other lessons equally as jarring. #PBS #Trump #Education #CPB #America #Slavery #Ohio #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Texas Dems won’t be holding out much longer 🚨 Multiple sources have confirmed that House Democrats will return to Texas. They say they’ve done what they came to do—kill the first special session and put a national spotlight on the mid-decade redistricting power grab.
Progressives must re-examine strategies to defeat Trump and fascism. Here is how to use a classic text to inform how we change to fight the good fight and teach Democrats what they should be doing to win. open.substack.com/pub/erichens....
There is so much outrage everyday that we must be more organized in our responses. In DC now, Trump is spoiling a Insurrection Act confrontation amid all his other chaos and larceny. He should get something else instead. open.substack.com/pub/erichens...
Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies. Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.
Yup
Get checked!
As of September 2024, 36 million voters are registered Republicans and 45.1 million are registered Democrats. I couldn't fit all the nuance into the small space at the top of a video I made to make fun of Vance.
The Epstein file has Trump more rattled than anything actually happening in D.C. This is a smokescreen!

Fixing gerrymandering isn't about electing more Democratic Party members for me - it's about fair representation. A safe seat is a bad seat. Gerrymandering leads to comfort with power or comfort without it. Either way, useless to the people. #Gerrymandering #FairMaps #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
I'd rather see a nationwide ban on gerrymandering but for now, tit for tat.
Agreed.

The Secretary of Defense is out here promoting Christian nationalism. Imagine being a Jewish or Muslim servicemember right now. In any other Administration this would be a fireable offense. In this one, it’s applauded.
Yeah, it sucks pretty bad.
I appreciate the offer and I am sure my friend would too. There isn't a fundraiser, as everything has been taken care of.

Did they relax the health standards along with the age standards?
If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.
You may be low balling that.

This is why so many in Gen Z don’t believe homeownership is part of their American Dream. They saw their parents lose homes in record numbers during the Great Recession.
Yes. I included a link. Here are a couple screenshots of where they should be.
Seems truncation of the Constitution at constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ is still a work in progress. Not only are parts of Art. 1 Sec 9 and all of Sec 10 missing as pointed out by the OP 👆, now half of Sec 8 and all of 9 and 10 are missing.
Yeah, "issues". Someone deleted it.
US Congress removed part of Article 1 Section 9 & all of 10 from our Constitution on the website - they still exist. They're all willing to do stupid, terrible, unAmerican things. constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ #Constitution #Republicans #Democrats #Independents #America #Corruption
Escalate until SCOTUS stops partisan gerrymandering I suppose. If anyone has a better idea, I'm all for it.

🚨 Ken Paxton wants Dems arrested for refusing to help rig an election. That’s rich coming from a guy indicted on three felony counts of securities fraud, accused by his top deputies of bribery, abuse of office, while allegedly using burner phones, secret emails & fake names to dodge accountability.
Why is there no federal privacy law? “We really need to atone for the sins of the 1990s… which resulted in the dependence of governments on these companies for surveillance It created actors that now have… more geopolitical power than individual nation-states” - @meredithmeredith.bsky.social
The bronzer-in-chief knows he’s on that list. This “investigation” is just another smoke bomb to change the subject. Drop the damn Epstein files already. 🚨 NEW: The Office of Special Counsel is investigating ex-Trump special prosecutor Jack Smith for alleged illegal political activity.
No.

There is a reason they're trying to gerrymander Texas - they know it's going to go south.
This is my friend. His name is Christian Smalls. He founded the Amazon Labor union Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough. Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF And no one in the MSM is talking about it. paydayreport.com/amazon-union...

Ohio Senator Andrew Brenner's defense of being ok with protecting ped0s is that 100 years ago Dems supported slavery. He's never heard the realignment, nor does he know what a transgender man is. #Epstein #Trump #DemVoice1 #Transgender #Ohio #ProudBlue

Who’s in the Epstein files (hint: it’s all of them) is less important than the Trump decision to criminalize and disappear anyone who does not have a house or has an addiction or “mental health” disability. In fact, 20 years in, might these files mainly be a sensational distraction?
It doesn't feel good when worded that way, but they've always been honest with their feelings which is more than most can claim.
Never fold at the mid-point of your leg.
Never bend the knee. #SouthPark #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Trump
I don't.
Cold, hard, blue…, facts, like this? Obama isn’t in the Epstein Files. But Trump sure is!
Because it's all theater and the cost is human suffering.
Human rights org director Noah Bullock points out Kristi Noem posed with Salvadorian inmates with gang tattoos on their faces, who were held in other prisons & moved to CECOT. She picked the scariest looking men - NOT the ones she deported! The photos are a LIE.
