Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve

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,”
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.
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Malignant narcissists fake empathy to profit and to hurt.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.
I'm no historian but...
Excellent ✨✊

A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I love it when Gavin holds up the mirror
“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Fatality.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
⚡️ There will be strikes deep into Russia. Forces and means are already prepared, — Zelensky The President also reported that Russian troops suffered the greatest losses precisely in the Donetsk region, while failing to implement any of their strategic objectives.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Top FDA official demands removal of YouTube videos in which he criticized Covid vaccines
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
I will ♥️ posts just because no one else has. #SomethingYouDidntKnowAboutMe
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Putin has not changed. In the last 25 years he started four wars. He can only be kept in check through strong deterrence. We must be precise and fast with the surge in our defence posture ↓ europa.eu/!wgH6QK
“I have faith in people outside of government. The professional organizations, doctors, nurses, and other providers—and also the parents…So I’m hopeful in that sense. I’m just not necessarily hopeful that the federal government is going to be the answer anymore…” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT A MEMECOIN OUT 😂
One of JD Vance’s political influencers argues that whites have a higher IQ than Blacks and has endorsed returning to slavery. His name is Curtis Yarvin. When Vance becomes POTUS (and he will), you’ll hear the name more often.

If you aren’t completely loyal to the regime or dare to voice dissent, you risk being removed. Time and again, anyone who stands up is pushed out. Most recently, the Environmental Protection Agency dismissed eight employees after they

Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
There should be mental institutions for dumbfucks. But you imagine the size.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
What a ridiculous person.

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
It’s time to take serious action at the State Capitol to address gun violence.
The Bondi family business. Charges dropped…for those with the right connections.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: Putin is a predator. Putin's proxies have been targeting our societies for years with hybrid attacks, with cyber attacks. The weaponizing of migrants is another example.

Chicago keeping art alive:
Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
Disgraceful.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.

A guy I went to grade school with is mad that a judge shut down the Florida concentration camp. He says, "we have a president to make these decisions. They should just ignore the judge..." I reminded him of something we learned in school: America doesn't have a king. People have lost common sense.
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
The American public must bring a class-action lawsuit against RFK jr immediately.
