Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!
I'm not suggesting that everybody should apply for these ICE jobs just to waste the recruiters' time and resources but it sure would be funny.
Who will file a complaint to dis-bar the attorneys who advised this?
Rhode Island passed a law banning mandatory anti-union employee meetings. Union-busting law firm Littler Mendelson held a webinar for employers about the law. And they essentially told employers... to break the law! We got the transcript and the PowerPoint: prospect.org/justice/2025...
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.
Trump is attacking unions, driving up costs, and dismantling workers’ rights. On Labor Day, we’re reminded that America deserves better. I’m proud to have helped author the PRO Act to expand workers’ rights & strengthen unions—and I’ll keep fighting to put workers first.
The lack of ego Rep. Nadler is showing is a perfect example of putting service before self. This deserves so many props and respect. Thank you, @nadler.house.gov.
Together with the labor movement of Maine, together with Bernie Sanders — We will defeat the oligarchy, and we will defeat Susan Collins.
In a democracy, this is what the party of the working class would sound like.
Another opinion: We can let Trump’s RFK Jr kill millions of us. That is the opinion and current decision of the GOP.
RFK Jr must go www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Thank you @nadler.house.gov for representing me and my family in Congress so ably for so many years. You have a great legacy, and I hope you can convince @schumer.senate.gov he can best protect your and his legacies by following your example before the 2026 midterms. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
RFK Jr is very knowledgeable...............about cocaine, infidelity, heroin addiction, and brain worms. And inheriting money.
I think any Pastor would enjoy these. Not just Al.
WATCH: Here's Labor Day inspiration & education! Candidate for US Senate for Maine Graham Platner at 40 minutes to 1 hour. Then, candidate for Maine Governor Troy Jackson. Followed by Sen Bernie Sanders at 1 hour 19 minutes. www.youtube.com/live/uOfE0vp...
An 83-year-old relative sent this to me today and said he’s so inspired by Starbucks workers and their fight for a contract that he sent this to his friends and asked them to share it with everyone they know. 🥹
Something is very wrong with him. We do not need to be physicians to notice that either there is something physically or mentally wrong with him. When this Holiday weekend ends, this MUST be at the top of the agenda (along with Wednesday's presser with the Epstein victims).
WATCH: Maine's candidate for US Senate Graham Platner's speech in Portland Maine on Labor Day....starts at 40 minutes in. INSPIRING and EDUCATIONAL: www.youtube.com/live/uOfE0vp...
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
RFK Jr is giving worms a bad name.
Trump is publicly considering a “development plan” for Gaza that can only be described as ethnic cleansing—an international crime against humanity. Publicly discussing carrying out a crime against humanity!

💫 Childhood Trauma Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and imagine yourself at a younger age sitting across from you. Ask: "What do you need?" Listen deeply The answers may surprise you. This simple practice begins building internal trust. #SelfParenting #InnerDialogue #EmotionalHealing
September is like a loving transition - it still carries the warmth of summer, but it is already donning the golden dress of autumn. Its days are softer, its light softer, and in its stillness lies a special invitation: to slow down, to breathe more deeply, to be more grateful.
The hummingbird is a reminder that even the smallest spirit can carry great light. It only comes for a breath, but in that moment it brings warmth, remembrance and the whisper of something eternal. Not to stay - blessings never do - but to remind us that life is meant to be savoured.
ICE detains green card holder—days after she passed citizenship exam. She was awaiting the official ceremony—when agents tricked her into coming in for appointment—only to arrest her. She and her husband have owned their Los Angeles balloon shop together for almost 20 years.
Ditto.
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.
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...
RFK's plan to kill us is ruining the reputation of worms.
RFK Repost (suddenly relevant again). We're not Anti-Vax .. .. we are Pro-Natural Selection.
USA Today reports on the upcoming Wednesday AM news conference in which victims of Epstein will speak and press for the release of the Epstein Files. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
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.
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.
Clearly, Princeton has educated you superbly in math.
Levi’s says anti-Americanism on back of Trump policies could hit brand in UK
"Levi’s UK arm, which employs just over 1,600 people in the UK according to the accounts, is one of the first US brands to openly raise fears about the impact of the Trump administration on sales, in comments first reported by the Daily Telegraph."

Will @governorferguson.bsky.social protect WA State residents from Covid, like New Mexico is doing?
The biggest news story in the news right now is that the president of the United States hasn't made a public appearance or spoken to the protective pool in four days and the White House is actively lying about his activities, yet no news organization is covering it.

wow
Do not come to Chicago but we're going to be ready for you if you do! 💙💙👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼
You are blaming RFK Jr., but his worms are responsible. Blame the worms. (Apologies to phylum Annelida---but facts are facts.)
Please don't harm the couch when shredding JD Vance. I know someone who needs a couch to sleep on.
This is the part of the article that says what's good about Trump.
A free lunch......in the U.S.?
I'm Abdul El-Sayed and I approve this message.
This is just an explicit roadmap to genocide. This is the kind of document that is going to show up in future textbooks documenting war crimes - if we still have future history textbooks, that is.
Do not look behind the curtain.

I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.
Similarities with Stalin? Nah. Trump's been Prez for 8 months & has only begun to dismantle our democracy, public health, safety net, free speech, independent media, judiciary, Congress's authority, universities, & has sent only tens of thousands to concentration camps. Stalin ruled from '24 to '53.

The typical elementary school child has more courage than a GOP member of Congress.
Sounds like a right wing meme.
The Trumpist Gestapo seized this physician from his work at Huntington Hospital. He's been here TEN years and filed for permanent status--married to the Chief of Staff physician at the hospital. This is an outrage.
The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared
Unions are shrinking nationwide--but not in California. capitalandmain.com/unions-are-s...
Disease has a powerful new ally. The GOP is now leading the fight against the public’s health.
@democrats.org in Congress must give Trump an ultimatum: Restore cut services & agencies, gut the ICE budget, & stop the illegal occupation of our cities, or @democrats.senate.gov will shut it down. Democrats must be willing to use their power to stop fascism & kick @schumer.senate.gov to the curb.
Well if we call it a memorial to the Confederacy, the GOP’ll enshrine it. “Slavery, yeah! Human Rights? That’s woke!”
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Fatality.
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
Thank you Commissioner Sean Duryee
The unvaccinated kid is more likely to be sick or dead —-as the evidence for decades shows.
It’s the Israelis. That’s what the article states. Israelis.
@murray.senate.gov: Democrats should not provide votes for a GOP budget that funds Trump’s destruction of our nation. The GOP controls every branch of the federal government. Schumer surrendered last time. Stand up in the Caucus to prevent this from happening again.
A great question. #nyc #nyclife #newyorkcity
As the GOP weakens & obliterates every institution making America great—-our top notch universities, scientific research, public health infrastructure, fair elections, safety net, Medicare & Medicaid, unions, civil rights, and free speech—-they tell us they’re saving our nation! They’re vandals.
Likely that Giuliani was drunk. Saw a woman by the side of the road—-a potential victim for him—-and a car rammed into him as he suddenly hit the brakes as he pulled over. He’s no hero.
Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.
Getting advice on “mental health” from JD Vance is rich in irony. Didn’t he change his NAME 3 times? He’s a complete fraud and perhaps even a copulator of couches.
