Meanwhile, did you see? A federal judge on Friday allowed the Trump admin and the Oklahoma AG to use his court to subvert democracy through a sham lawsuit manufactured to get rid of a pro-immigrant state law they don’t like without needing to go through the trouble of actually repealing the law.
The day after Labor Day, the Trump administration is planning to implement 60 new rules that will take minimum wage away from millions of workers and make workplaces less safe. #MinimumWage #WorkersOverBillionaires www.politicususa.com/p/donald-tru...
Special Election in FL TOMORROW. VOTE!!!
Generations of workers in America bled and died to win dignity on the job. They stood together against those who refused to recognize their humanity. On Labor Day, as fascism rises again, we honor those who came before us and carry forward their spirit of solidarity & defiance. Fight like hell. ✊
Remember when we had a really kind person as our President and Leader?
In Democratic areas. They cut the polling places only in Democratic areas. It is my goal to do the same to them. I'm not asking for Republicans to be decent any longer. I am demanding we treat them no better than they treat us. Call your blue state governor and demand reciprocity.

What is going on here?
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
"Fun really is the name of the game for Trump & co. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence/deportation, to flood the trains/buses with armed law enforcement just because they can, to unleash troops who understand that they will not be held accountable."
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
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.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
It’s great to see President Biden doing well and warmly greeted by The People while leaving church. I miss his grace, decency, and compassionate leadership. You will always be the President of my heart and the architect of my path. May God bless and protect you and your family, Mr. President.🇺🇸
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
They're moving in an ideological direction & want to see the undoing of vaccination. Daskalakis disagreed w/ changes to recommendations on who should get a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, w/ new dosage creating confusion & uncertainty for those who want the latest shot. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.

You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... 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."

Trump & Vance removed Guatemalan children as young as 10 from shelters overnight with plans to deport them. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
This is the kind of disingenuous, both sides garbage that makes Democrats disgusted with the media Not only does Wes Moore HAVE a Bronze Star-whereas Trump dodged military service and regularly mocks veterans The issue is how Trump is shredding the Constitution and our economy-not this gotcha crap
This is an unconstitutional and authoritarian power grab. The constitution grants power over federal elections to the states and Congress - not the president.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
This is the “five alarm fire” people talk about. As a former CDC director said on CNN this morning: “This is endangering our lives versus protecting our lives.” WHERE ARE OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON THIS?? WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."
Trump’s regime is requesting a federal judge to nullify a New York law targeting fossil fuel companies for their purported contribution to climate change. #ProudBlue #DemVoirce1
I agree with everything here AND I really hope that red state people don’t become political cannon fodder because we just watched this happen three years ago with Dobbs and we can’t make the same mistake again…
Trump wants to get rid of Housing First, which has seen great success and doesn’t require sobriety to access. Critics don’t like it because they see it as a giveaway. But here’s what they don’t — or don’t care to — understand about programs based on compassion 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/30/m...

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

This is why Trump’s Big Ugly Bill increased ICE’s budget by $170.7 billion More than the military spending of most countries, and more than the US appropriated for the FBI, DEA, ATF and Marshals-combined Trump is amassing an army to employ against Americans in blue states And Illinois is up first
Why would a convicted felon, who took a massive crap on every cop in America by pardoning hundreds of people convicted of assaulting police officers on Jan. 6, treat our National Guard with any more respect?

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1935: The Revenue Act of 1935 becomes law. Also known as the “Wealth Tax” or the “Soak the Rich Tax,” it significantly increased federal income, gift and estate taxes on high earners and large corporations. /1
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
A leader who abandons his own words for power proves he was never speaking from conviction, only from convenience.

ultimately i think the central thesis of trumpism might be true nihilism, just the absolute disdain for the idea that anything matters at all beyond winning an argument in the eyes of your supporters. there is no such thing as competence. there is only loyalty and occasionally bad press. that’s it

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

Fascism-plus.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
