Good night, Bluesky. 🦋💙
I live in Rep Gerald nadler’s district. With the news he’s not running for reelection I — like many others- now have a lot to think about. We are at war. We need more fighters. I would be ferocious.
My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Good night, Bluesky. 🦋💙
Sometimes when I’m writing a book and being harsh with myself I’ll be like “You can’t mention owls in this one, you mentioned owls in quite a few of the others” but then I’ll be like “Who are you to tell me what to do? I’m the one who makes the rules here. Fuck you. I’m mentioning the owls.”
Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
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.

Please do not conflate having mental health issues with having a bad character and no moral compass.
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
When is the American media going to realize that the failure in the American economy is the goal of the Russian asset Trump,intention is to usher in a depression allowing China & India to takeover the power in world’s economy Donald Trump is a success for world authoritarians
Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

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...
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
I love this guy
Gavin Newsom trolled Trump big time 😂
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasn’t for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.

We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
Before the 19th century there were no vaccines. More than 50% of children died before reaching 2 years old, almost all from infectious diseases, now it is 0.02%. The average life expectancy was 32 years.
Some people are completely indifferent to what Russians are doing to the Ukrainian people Even with modern technology & 24/7 news they act like the biggest war in Europe 80 years isn’t happening BUT if THEIR city was under attack or occupation wouldn’t they want others to help?
😂
I am so proud at the folks in my little town who came out to stand up to Fascism! This is a tribute to the folks in California who did this, wearing black outfits, covering their faces. It was an honor to film this for my community. If you look carefully you'll see my mom waving.
A must for reposting.

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.
Many good people are justifiably outraged by serious wrongdoings, not trivial matters, and they demand justice and accountability.
Fake Trump talks about trade policy. Real Trump talks about crowd sizes, hamburgers, and toilets that don’t flush.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
every time they curse our names it makes us stronger
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...
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.
MASSIVE ICE SURGE COMING STARTING TOMORROW
What could possibly go wrong?
To all those that are protesting today. Keep fighting fire with fire. This wanna be dictator regime will fall.
That is how this criminal administration works. Only benefit billionaires. The republicans are killing their constituents in red states most have Medicaid. And they are losing it all to pay billionaires.
What would great is if everyone just acted like he was dead anyway. Publish obituaries. Just act like he isn’t there anymore. Front it out like they did with the whole “We won the election” thing. Think how furious that would make him.
This. These people. Thank you for including me. Let’s go!
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!

Thank you on this labor day!!
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.
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Happy Anniversary! ❤️
Von der Leyen’s plane affected by GPS jamming over weekend, says European Commission – Europe live
You have to wonder what classes as escalation in Europe these days🤔
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive arm, suffered from jamming of GPS navigation while flying over Bulgaria. The authorities believe that Russia was behind the operation, European officials said on Monday.
Very-very final wake-up call for Europe.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
World War II began in Europe #otd September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded #Poland. How horrifying that 86 years later #Europe must gear up its defenses against an invasion from #Russia. Russia launched a full scale invasion on #Ukraine 2/24/22 And the #US sides with…? www.npr.org/2025/05/12/1...
US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.
France preparing for war with Russia, has ordered doctors and hospitals to ready themselves for an influx of wounded and casualties, they have only until May 2026 to get ready, must be able to treat hundreds if not thousands per day. Also urges citizens prepare emergency survival kits.
Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.

It kills more people in Latin America than malaria each year, and researchers think roughly 300,000 people in the U.S. currently have it but are unaware. That's because the illness tends to lie dormant for years, only making itself known when its victim keels over via heart attack, stroke or death.

In response to DeSantis anti-LGBTQ+ policies and attacks to the Pulse Memorial, many citizens started to paint their driveways in the rainbow colors in support of the community.
