interested in being a good human, political science, economics, photography, animals, did I mention the thing about good human; just trying to survive this move towards the Code of Hammurabi which places me in the turd pile.

Family businesses went under because of him. It was cheaper for him to pay lawyers to figure out/ how not to pay a contractor, than to just pay the contracted price. He bankrupted families in AC before he bankrupted his casino. Let that sink, he bankrupted a casino!! When they were a new idea
Provide a copy of the story to every family you know with someone in the military. Let them know there is no protections for following illegal orders. No pay, no respect, no protection is the price of loyalty to Trump. Ask them what good is he doing for them
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
One minute, you're just living your life, and the next, you're mimicking bird calls. Here’s how it happens.
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
How about @padilla.senate.gov What happened to him was horrible thanks to Ice but he has @governor.ca.gov
Dogs are amazing! ❤️🐕🐾 #dog #dogday #bluesky
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.

“This is unacceptable, and it should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings.” Nine former CDC directors sound the alarm about RFK Jr.’s dismantling of America’s public health system.

Makes not one damn bit of sense.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
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.
Truth - they don’t need Trump anymore Vance waiting in the wings
But the Project 2025 team are still beavering away and causing evil & mayhem.
Nothing has been normal since this escalator ride.
This guy…!
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
I bet the White House staff is busy setting up a bunch of cardboard cutouts in the Oval Office like in Home Alone
While nobody wants crime it seems odd that Trump and his cronies refuse to address mass shootings including those that kill children BUT are sending the National Guard to blue cities to manage sporadic and random shootings.
While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Bingo ✔️
A Florida Judge tried to strip me of my law license after I objected to ICE fascism As major law firms capitulate to Trump & offer up $100M in free legal services to appease him—I am refusing to bend the knee to intimidation & instead speaking out publicly. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/a-florida-...

The fact that the courts continue to uphold the enforceability of Scientology’s arbitration agreements is a complete sham and a total Miscavige of justice
I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
Blue state Governors need to order the arrest homan, noem, miller, bovino, all of them if they step foot on blue state ground. Take the game from them, do not play.

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.
Advocates for immigrants and low-wage workers said the companies owe it to their drivers to speak out.
"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.

The Epstein Files: She was 17. A ballerina. Her mom was battling a brain tumor. Danielle Bensky was recruited into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, where she says there were eyewitnesses everywhere — housekeepers, security, friends, even a maid who walked her upstairs. #EpsteinTrump
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
“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
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
I assume that’s exactly what the founders intended since they could have explicitly required someone to be US born like they did with the role of President (Art. II, Sec 1). They intentionally didn’t include this requirement so yes, just as the founders intended.
His name is Kashyap. I want everyone to call him "Yap". With affection, of course.
Nobody griped about Kash Patel's given name. It's his garbage resume and unsettling gaze that gives pause.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

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.
I watched Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) over the weekend. It’s a lot more nuanced and cynical than I expected. A lot of it is about how there were Americans and Germans who didn’t want Nazi war criminals punished. They wanted to put the past behind them and move on to post war reconstruction.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Please don’t make sweeping generalizations about veterans. I did not vote for Trump, & I know many fellow veterans who did not.
Shame on these enablers of fascism. Glad the veterans are putting them in their place!
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
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.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
In anticipation of the next few days I want to make it clear that the ICE Permit revocation issue is a land use question which means that city councilors will be operating in a quasi judicial manner when it gets to us after the investigation. We can be exempt from voting on it if we r deemed biased.
If he was half-way serious he'd fund enough for additional police for 30 years Each new Officer costs tax payers $5 million to $7 million for a 30 year career plus full retirement benefits. So how many does D.C. need ten 30 50 ???????????? Do the math
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
At a million dollars a day, the Guard are being misused. A battalion-level policing of parks and medians is a terrible use of the funds and the manpower.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

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.
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.

My father worked hard when he worked at the Ford Glass Plant in Nashville, TN. He worked various shifts. He participated in Stikes, and because of him, we grew up in the Middle Class. #LaborDay
Is PepsiCo contributing to the war effort or is this just a crass marketing joke on your part!!????
Yeah… per the Fox Faux News chyron: “(the traitor felon’s) crime crackdown” …God forbid J6 is brought up because that’s a day that will live in infamy, the day Drumpf instigated and cheered on his “big, ugly” insurrection! 😡 And, J6 reminds us of the traitor felon’s pardons for all the cop beaters!

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Sometimes, they just want scratches
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
The reggae question- Peace officer are you a warrior? Successful policing has officers members of the community at large, live there, family lives in community. When they have a stake in the health & safety of the people they are serving, they have better success solving crime
Examples of Washington's city police department enthusiastically and energetically cooperating with ICE will destroy trust—a vital ingredient of successful law enforcement—for a long time.
