Workers need an economy that works for us, not billionaires and greedy corporations. That’s what America’s unions are fighting for on Workers’ Labor Day and every day. It’s time that working people got treated with the dignity and respect we deserve.

Labor Day in Denver: many people gathered to celebrate Labor Day and to demand Trump’s resignation.
CHICAGO IS IN THE STREETS! #LaborDay #DefendHigherEd #WorkersOverBillionaires
Haymarket Memorial Chicago Peaceful protest, beautiful weather, and like-minded people
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
🤔 To be fair he is a giant asshole. I can understand why they wouldn’t want to talk to him.
Call to Action: Mass protest at Washington D.C. on November 5th. Plan accordingly. #3E #RefuseFascism
They need us, we don’t need them. If there were no workers, there would be no oligarchs, because they must exploit our labour to get rich. If there were no oligarchs, we would all be more equal and better off for it.
This gentleman is a hero But the story has an ominous post script I believe he then went on a national news program where he said that after the incident, almost all the kids stopped coming to practice Terrorizing children That's what ICE does
The economic cost of deploying the National Guard is even higher than it appears at first glance. At first glance people only look at the cost of salaries, equipment and support costs. But, for American society there is also the cost of these reservist soldiers not working their regular jobs.
Do unto others..
Whenever people say to me “would you push a button if-“ I interrupt with, “let me stop you right there. It’s a button. Of course I’m going to push it. I want to see what happens. I’m not just going to trust what someone says it will do.” Sigh. I love having ADHD. And it loves having me. 😍🥰
Trump is definitely the more dangerous of the two. Both are hateful and stupid. But, Trump is vastly better at convincing people that stupidity and hatred are virtues, and thus is better at maintaining and growing the cult.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
This! 💯

Those crackers don’t get mad about shootings unless the barrel is pointed at them.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

It would be nice if she'd hurry up.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
GOP Rep. Moore tucked tail and ran during a brutal town hall booing
There is a horrific irony to the fact that the undocumented immigrants are the ones actually working hard to make America great, while these thugs in masks are hunting down and destroying America's workforce while contributing absolutely nothing of value to anyone at massive taxpayer expense.
Speaker Johnson continued, insisting that now is not the time to “politicize these issues.” I am so sick of that bullshit line. After a tragedy like this is EXACTLY the time for politicians to get off their asses and fix the fucking problem. Passed time actually. www.alternet.org/send/trump-m...
Gov. Pritzker: “The president doesn't seem to understand that it's actually Republican states that have the crime problem. Of the 20 states that have the biggest crime problem, 13 of them are red states controlled by Republican governors.”
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Fuck DOGE.
ICE kidnapping a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her. Heartbreaking 💔 😢
A stunning admission by Tom Homan: "federal agents are wearing masks over their faces because it's what criminals do" Just spit balling here, but maybe federal agents shouldn't be fucking criminals violating international law and committing crimes against humanity. www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-w...
CNN needs to pull their head out of their ass. America is not "on the fast track to autocracy". There are secret police terrorizing and disappearing people. Opposition judges, politicians and officials are being investigated, harassed and/or jailed. America is already an autocratic dictatorship.
I'd be more understanding if it was the OLD logo Republicans were mad about. A White guy by a barrel beside the words Cracker Barrel does seem a little insensitive. But, it's getting rid of that that they are mad about. 🤔🤔🤔⁉️ I guess they don't care who it's racist against as long as it's racist.🤷♂️
“When I call Kennedy a ‘dangerous crank,’ I'm not saying that as an insult or as hyperbole, but honestly as the most economical way of describing the man's views,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on RFK Jr.
If we truly believe in freedom & individual rights the UBI SHOULD be a no-brainer! In a nation where .01% control 50% of the wealth we CAN AFFORD IT❗️ To secure choices of individuals we need to make their security a “right”.
Trump is continuing to undermine the integrity of the 2026 and 2028 elections. People need to protest, strike and demand the re-establishment of democracy. www.propublica.org/article/heat...
*must
Unfortunately, there is a vulnerability. The constitution says no one can be ELECTED president more than twice. It says a vice president most be eligible to SERVE as president. Trump has already floated the idea of running for VP and then Vance stepping aside. This corrupt SCOTUS will allow that.
Term limits will not save you. I'm in Canada. We don't have term limits. Russia, America, and El Salvador all had term limits. You know what Canada has now that none of those countries have? A functioning democracy. Protest, strike, demand the re-establishment of democracy. We need you.
Even having a free market requires UBI. One of the fundamental principles of the free market is that it not be coercive. When workers negotiate wages, by refusing a job they risk not being able to pay utilities, food insecurity and homelessness. That is inherently coercive. UBI removes that coercion
"Feeling trapped and facing eviction, the mother-of-one turned to a charity and asked for £600. The money came through almost instantly... Since receiving her grant, Laura Burns' life has been transformed – she now has a new home, a job and is about to get married." UBI will do so much for so many.
A Texas schoolteacher needs to make Ken Paxton write “Thou shalt not commit adultery” on the chalkboard 50 times.
Looking at that image, she has very bad cataracts and can’t see shit. We really need to start taking better care of her.
So let me get this straight. The old logo is a White guy next to a barrel, and the company name is Cracker Barrel… 🤔🤔🤔 I would think right wingers would be demanding that be changed.
Republicans: Gun violence is a mental health issue. Everyone else: Then why the fuck are you cutting mental health supports?
🇩🇰 Denmark summoned the U.S. envoy after shocking reports that three Trump-linked operatives were secretly plotting to stir unrest in Greenland, raising alarm over covert meddling in the Arctic. www.cbsnews.com/news/denmark...
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 Today's thread contains material that you will find disturbing, and rightfully so. Lynching Black people was horrific in and of itself, but what happened during & afterwards was gruesome. Pull up a seat.🪑 #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Straight up facts. It's the only answer that makes sense.
NEW: A federal grand jury has REFUSED to indict sandwich guy! I imagine the DoJ will keep trying. They have two weeks, at which point they’ll have to drop the charges or reduce it to a misdemeanor. 🥪 www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Trump is“addressing homelessness”in DC by spending 4x what it would cost to provide housing to these folks on a dehumanizing military assault. We don’t have enough money for health care, child care, etc but we have enough to spend over $1 million a day terrorizing a city? 💙 @cheyennehunt.bsky.social
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
I love the way Newsom trolls Trump. I just wish he wasn’t such a terrible human being. By “clearing” homeless encampments he re-victimized the most vulnerable members of society instead of helping the people who need help the most. The Democrats must do better than Newsom for a leader.
COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS. It’s ok if you’re uncomfortable, embarrassed, afraid, tired. You’re not alone in that. We all have our role to play. What’s yours? Let’s spread strength, together.
This absolute queen got officially voted in today. I'm overjoyed. Lithuania gets the most left-wing PM of any post-Soviet country. A new generation of rad, new left trade unionists. International support and coverage is a must, she's such a beacon of hope. 💞 www.politico.eu/article/poli...
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
Sigh. Sometimes vetting people that follow me is fun.🥰
I think you’re on the wrong app. You seem to be looking for X.
Why the fuck is that even a thing? The only reason for privatization is so that rich people can get richer by charging far more than a government run system would cost. Canada's socialist healthcare system is far cheaper and gets much better results than the private US system,
He's not very good at reading and misread the prompter. It actually read: "We're going to whine so much, you may even get tired of whining. And, you'll say, please please it's too much whining. We can't take it anymore. Mr. president it's too much, and I'll say no it isn't, we have to keep whining."
It's a cult,
By "starting to think" I assume you mean "been thinking this for the past 9 years".
At his age he should be very careful about using too much force on his valves.
The military is not a police force, and should never be deployed in American communities against their will. That the President doesn't understand this (or simply doesn't care) shows just how grossly unfit for office he is.
I feel like this might be a protest. Trump probably ordered a general to "clear the trash out of Washington", so they took it literally as a fuck you to Trump.
I'm beginning to see why Republicans think everyone is a pedophile.
It's important to realize that Chicago straddles the border. I have a friend who lives in East Chicago which is on the Indiana side of the border. He tells me that it is by far the worst part of Chicago when it comes to crime, and has bullet holes in his couch from a drive by to prove it.
Some people think the centre is best and somehow unbiased. It is not. There is a reason why scientists and those who value things like logic and evidence strongly tend to be left wing: The truth is on the left. 2/2
This website is an extremely useful tool for assessing the reliability of a news source: mediabiasfactcheck.com However, I would add an important point: There is no such thing as an unbiased source on politics. Bias towards the centre is still bias. 1/2
Openly taking bribes, blatantly abusing offices for personal gain, and making deals with child molesters to secure testimony favourable to the president for propaganda purposes is not what most people mean when they talk about transparency in government.
When Trump says that he is not a dictator, the secret police terrorizing the streets of America, and the military occupation of several American cities says otherwise.
I actually believe Trump on this one. But the article raises an important question: Which people are saying this? I would add a more pointed question: Are they members of the current American regime? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
This has to stop. Israel’s right to defend itself cannot justify this. This child was not a threat to Israel. Israel’s blockade is genocide through starvation. All nations need to immediately put trade and diplomatic sanctions on Israel and arrest Israeli officials complicit in the genocide.
Good morning all. Just remember that this nation made a choice. It chose ignorance, evil, racism, prejudice, injustice, and mistreatment over compassion and intelligence. SMH.
No people who did this to your ancestors can show you the way to eternal life … Just saying.
They believe they can seize control of our city. Washington, D.C., is currently experiencing a beautiful vibe and energy tonight. Free DC ✊
It also stretches the imagination to think that anyone in the Trump administration gives a shit about whales. This seems like a conspiracy theory spread by the fossil fuel industry to push back against climate science and to protect their profits at the expense of everyone else.
Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Thank you for including me.
