This was today in Boston, btw. Thousands came out to the first ever Labor Day Parade.
Left-wing nut who believes in justice & equality. I know ridiculous, right? Cycling enthusiast whose spirit animal is a turtle. I keep going, but I’m slow.

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Solidarity forever!
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.
Bear’s repeating: join me and keytar bear and vote for @wutrain.bsky.social on or before September 9!
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
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 just can’t. So many choices. Which headline stresses me most? “Epstein’s former girlfriend told Justice Department she did not see Trump act in ‘inappropriate way’” “Trump administration orders work halted on wind farm that is nearly built” The liar or the absurd? Too many choices 1st thing.

Despicable action by a despicable excuse for a human being.
California. Illinois. New York. Pennsylvania. Let’s roll.
So I’ve noticed. Why is that?
#SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
Beautiful.
Abolish ICE. Defund the police. Free DC.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
#NeverForgetTheEpsteinFiles
Despicable.
The owner of a 125 acre Oregon cherry orchard will lose $300,000 plus this season. His cherries are shrivel like big black raisins, still on the trees…because ICE wiped out over half of his work force….and he couldn’t get them picked. The stupidest MF’r in America…is president.
People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25
We must listen to the survivors.

As a rare Black woman creating abstract art, Mavis Pusey earned illustrious credits, selling a print to MoMA in 1968, appearing in the Whitney’s 1971 exhibit “Contemporary Black Artists in America,” and landing teaching gigs at Rutgers and PAFA. (1/4)
Omg 😳
“Are you abandoning your jobs?” 🔥 🔥 TEXAS DEM REP. ANN JOHNSON: “Yeah no — abandoning your job is going to Cancun in the middle of a deadly freeze…” A+ answer from Rep. Johnson here. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social
Love this.
Hmmm, I wonder.
🚨TESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL: “He cheated on the golf course… He cheated on his taxes… He cheated on his wives… He cheated on democracy…” But then came the mic drop 👇
So proud.
Feelin' great yet everyone?
“Both of them.”
🚨BREAKING: The John Lewis Voting Rights Act (killed by Sinema & Manchin in 2021) was reintroduced yesterday by Sen. Warnock (HR114)! Almost no media coverage. Let’s change that. Call your reps. Make noise. Pass the damn bill.🗳️ More: www.hrc.org/resources/vo...
A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
Hey Bluesky, help me as I struggle with a dilemma. I love NPR, and am a sustaining donor to both WGBH & WBUR in my hometown. I am normally the first person to step up to give. But I am furious that I have to part with my hard-earned money so billionaires can be made richer. Got a different lens?
Keep her her locked up
So many good memories. Thank you, sir!
Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in “blind spots" not covered by cameras. No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice. Tell these stories! US media won't!
Epstein accuser Maria Farmer on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I’ve never met a more predatory, terrifying human being in my entire life. She’s a very dangerous person. The woman is not a victim, she’s a victimizer.” via @msnbc.com (ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social)
Really tired of being told Muslims don't share "my" values by people who in no way share my values.
Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?
they announced this on a Friday night in the summer www.ucs.org/about/news/e...
Thankful for the courageous leaders who paved the way.
Despicable. smh
ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
And this is why I’ll be out demonstrating.
John Lewis didn’t just walk across a bridge—he built one for every generation that followed. He shed blood so Americans could cast ballots without fear, without barriers, without suppression. We honor him not with silence, but with action. #GoodTrouble #VotingRightsNow
Welcome to the free world. Now give up Whole Foods Market and Audible.
Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.
Kristi Noem must resign now.
Shout out to Heather Cox Richardson! Thank you for your consistent and incredible work!
Vacationing next to a concentration camp is unacceptable. Cancel 👏 your 👏 #Florida 👏 vacation 👏
"[E]ven as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, FEMA officials realized they needed Noem’s approval before sending those additional assets. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday..." www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...
Sharing because we all need beauty to sooth our souls.
Let me introduce you to Col Pam Stevenson, who is running for Mitch McConnell’s Senate in Kentucky. She is a firecracker and a fighter. She’s also a quilter with some absolutely gorgeous pieces under her belt — wouldn’t it be nice to have an artist on the hill? open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Thank you. I needed that more than you can know.
Welcome to the USA of 2025, where condemning genocide is deemed antisemitism and can get you deported, but building concentration camps and calling bankers ‘Shylocks’ doesn’t get condemned by the news media at all.
I vowed to boycott Florida when DeSantis took power. I have good friends there, but can’t bring myself to spend money in a state that treats humans so inhumanely.
This nails it.
I have a vivid imagination, and I know my elected officials work on behalf of the people, but I can’t imagine this world.
The GOP's Big Ugly Bill is a WAR ON THE POOR! They're taking away healthcare, food assistance, and dignity from those who need it most. #VoteHellNO Call your Representative TODAY! ☎️ 202-224-3121
How do we stop this madness?
I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨
Hahahaha!
Let’s prove that orange bastard wrong.
This can’t be said too often.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE INSANITY. 👇👇
Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go. It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)
On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.
This must be stopped.
Oh ffs. My mother died from mesothelioma, a cancer of the pleura that robbed her of her breath. She didn’t work in construction, and yet somehow she managed to breathe in enough of those tiny particulates to kill her. How do we stop this?
Stein must veto concealed handgun bill ncnewsline.com/2025/06/17/s... (audio commentary)
It’d be a slap in the face for Congress to expand tax loopholes for Big Pharma companies that are making billions while overcharging Americans. These companies should be held accountable for prioritizing profits over people.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah should be investigated by the FBI for inciting violence against a sitting government official. #Mikelee #senatormikelee

Being an ally is important work.
These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸
When I owned and operated a restaurant I used to tell prospective employees that I believed in respect. I’ll respect you and I expect you to respect me and this restaurant, & guests and the team. A lot of the time that worked out, but sometimes people mistook that for weakness. Their mistake.
New analysis shows that loose gun laws contributed to more kids dying from gun violence. It's sickening. It’s time for Congress to pass common-sense gun laws that protect every kid in America from gun violence.
Double.
A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Remembering George Floyd ♾️ ❤️🩹💜
Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.
