BREAKING: Tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets nationwide to take part in the 'Workers over Billionaires' protest, reminding Americans of the power of the working class at a time when billionaires are playing an outside role in national politics. Happy Labor Day/Protest Day to All!
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Wow. NINE former heads of the CDC sound the alarm www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Hehe. I snagged it from someone else! It’s in the public domain now!
Where are the Epstein files? Repost this—keep the pressure on. Demand answers.
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."
My husband’s sign today at the #TeslaDinerTakedown in Hollywood. #ImpeachRFK
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧

The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
The Governor of Indiana's arrogant ignorance is staggering 👉🏼he apparently has never read the constitution doesn't understand habeas corpus and is dumber than a fifth grader! 🤨 👉🏼how freaking brain dead do you have to be to vote an ignorant moron like this into the governors office?? 🥴👇🏼
“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.
CHICAGO…
Good morning America! The California Highway Patrol will offer security protection to Vice President Kamala Harris after Donald Trump revoked her Secret Service detail. Please share to thank Commissioner Sean Duryee for protecting Vice President Harris!👀
Morning Bluesky. Tesla had its seventh straight monthly decline in European sales in July, dropping 40% to 8,837. Chinese rival BYD surged past Tesla with 225% sales increase, to 13,503.
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
Please help me welcome to Bluesky @drdebhoury.bsky.social - brave, brilliant, and principled. abcnews.go.com/Politics/vid...
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
Bring Senator Cassidy in also
Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS. ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out. Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.
I would not call the reaction “panic” 🙄
🤦♀️
I’m in CA and it’s a holiday weekend. But I have to admit this is the first thing I am checking
nobody knows where trump is, but here's a good song
Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Find a protest this weekend. Make a sign 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
"January 6 survivor and former MPD Officer Michael Fanone launches a campaign demanding that federal officers remove their masks, advocating for transparency." Check out our new D.C. campaign demanding federal agents take off their mask! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social www.wusa9.com/article/news...
It’s like an SNL skit - but unfortunately they are messing with public health. #ImpeachRFK
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
They are laughing 🤣 at him behind his back - and he doesn’t realize that. But we see it.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
This comes my political cartoonist friend Greg Cahill - whom I met at a #teslaTakedown. #notadictator
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
@mlauriat.bsky.social @moneill16.bsky.social @panetto.bsky.social
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.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
Don’t look away
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Over 125 economists signed the open letter calling on the President, Congress, and the American public to uphold the principles of Federal Reserve independence and not remove Lisa Cook without due process. There's still time to sign! And please share. #EconSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Keeping global heating to 1.5°C is now highly unlikely without radical action. This is not a sign to give up. It’s a sign to step up. Every fraction of a degree matters. No more delays. We #DrawTheLine ——— against climate inaction. Will you join us? 👉 drawtheline.world atmos.earth/new-study-es...
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Would give us another thing to take to the streets. Thinking about my sign already
Senator Cassidy - a doctor - was the confirming vote. Shame! www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
DOGE has apparently created a cloud database of gov’t data & personal info about almost every American … used AI to mine it … and, evidently, exposed it to grave security vulnerabilities in the process. This isn’t dystopian fiction. This is happening in the United States.
“Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot and killed by law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as she attempted to climb through a barricaded door to the Speaker’s lobby near the House chamber.” #INSURRECTIONIST.

Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
I’ll be there - not sure which day - but it’s a lively and jovial group! Follow @resistthecoup on Instagram- the organizer
Yup. I’ve been there every weekend for the past five
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
Join us - every weekend in Hollywood. #tesladinertakedown
BREAKING: Abrego Garcia just renewed his bid for asylum. Keep fighting!
The petition asks for home address. Don’t understand why that is necessary
For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
If Ukraine stopped to ask each other if they aligned politically to fight off Russia, they would have been conquered in less than 3 days. In times of crisis, swallow your pride and work with what you have and who you have. You are either fighting dictatorship or you are not. #3E

They are not protecting kids from sexual references. They are “protecting” them from asking questions about this 👇 #annefrank
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
🤣🔊🆙 Repost please or quote. Just spread the truth 👍
Thank you! Followed
What could go wrong? 🤔
See you today at 7001 Santa Monica Boulevard 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼. 5-8pm
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
NOT AS MANY CAPS AS USUAL. GCN WILL TAKE NOTE 🤣
