I am the endless cycle. I am Yin and I am Yang. I am good and I am evil. I am life and I am death. I am all that there is and all that will be. I am love and I am eternity.

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.
All roads lead to the great path. Let go of all that does not serve you on your journey.

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.
I asked myself this question in the past. Good catch, I completely agree.

Between acts like this, his inaction and non-committal to the defense of Ukraine and Europe, his threats to Canada, and his military occupations of American Cities... We have not faced a National Security threat to the United States as significant as Donald Trump in the modern age.
Trump is, once again, undermining our standing and trust within the NATO alliance. apnews.com/article/denm...
Why give China and Russia preferential treatment over our allies? China to this day runs state-run propaganda that insults and dehumanizes the U.S., labeling us as their enemies. Russia to this day engages in Cold-War era espionage against the U.S., which are acts of war. We deserve better

We must remember that all life is sacred, and that the universe did not take all that time and effort in our creation for it to be done in vain. We will overcome the obstacles standing in the way of our destinies and our purpose. Creation is always listening. Creation is always watching.
It took billions of years for the energy which makes up the matter of our bodies to finally come together in this form. Compared to the scope of the universe, our bodies are so small, our lives so short, and yet it is conscious beings like us that grant the universe the means to meaning.

Paying them for her participation in that coup attempt is sickening. Trump and all the maga politicians are traitors to the human race.
Disgraceful.

Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Perhaps making us lose the will to post is the entire point.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

We cannot allow ourselves to be intimidated into silence or inaction, for time is not on our side in this. I am reminded of the words of true presidents, telling us that the greatest thing to fear is fear itself, and to ask us not what our country can do for us, but what we can do for our country.
Everything Trump has done economically is bringing prices up across the board for people living in the U.S... He wishes to bleed us dry economically so that as many Americans are left destitute as possible when the day finally comes for the Billionaire class to crash the economy one final time.
And this is costing tax payers how much?!?!
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Or how about he's held accountable for police brutality?
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Thou shalt not let a racist fascist rapist pedophile become a dictator and ruin all your lives.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
And yet restaurants are all showing significant decreases in consumer traffic, because people are uncomfortable and afraid...
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

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.”

Gislaine maxwell's and Jeffery Epstein's victims deserve justice. The American people deserve the truth. Every life deserves a chance to pursue peace, and they have denied this of many of their victims to this very day. To the women who suffer from these crimes, you are not alone!

Despite being surrounded by darkness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to turn the corner in order to see it. Reach out. Branch out. Talk to strangers. Now is the time for us to come together and galvanize our communities, because together we can accomplish anything!
First they give tax breaks to the rich while stripping funding from vital social services, then they take the breaks*
Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.
Well, communism in its perfect form has never really been fully realized by humanity. It's normally communism in name only, and a dictatorship, Oligarchy, or kleptocracy in practice.
You probably pay more in federal income taxes than some of America’s biggest, most profitable corporations. It’s not right — and we cannot afford to let it continue.

We’ve posted about this before, but now it’s official a federal judge has made it clear: Alina Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney without legal authority for over a month.

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.
So arouse even more intense persistence for the attaining of the as-yet-unattained, the reaching of the as-yet-unreached, the realization of the as-yet-unrealized.

This woman is a traitor.
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Eight House Democratic members will be forced back onto the floor tonight after publicly tearing up the Republican-mandated “permission slips” required to leave the chamber. They will remain there, held against their will.
Be friend, be ally, be family to all things, including those who are not ready to do so in return. Look into the mirror: to see what was, what is, and what could be. To see that which is empty, to see that which is full, to see that which is ugly, to see that which is beautiful in all things.
I am truly grateful to call Gavin Newsome my governor.

My only wish was that it was in the Billions, not millions.
I only feel shame when I hear her name, hear her voice, or see her face.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
We need to read bible verses at them, and warn them that by the bible's words, they will burn in hell for what they are doing.
The outcome of the 2024 presidential election flies in the face of both historical precedent and statistical probability. Whatever tale the media told about the outcome of that election, the numbers tell a much different story.
Trump was the first presidential candidate of either party to win all swing states in the past four decades, since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election victory, in which he won 49 states. Even in the infamous 1984 landslide where Reagan won 49 states, a few red counties still flipped to Mondale...
Kamala Harris somehow managed to flip 0 counties? The last candidate to flip zero counties was Herbert Hoover nearly 100 years ago in the midst of the Great Depression... A man so despised for his catastrophic economic policies; the media started calling shantytowns Hoovervilles.
There is something deeply wrong about the numbers regarding the 2024 presidential election. These statistics could not have occurred naturally: www.thenumbersarewrong2024.com Democratic counties that voted unanimously Democrat on all down ballot races had 0 votes for their Presidential nominee?
Deport ICE.
I'm just grateful I've never seen his face while standing near an active woodchipper.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.
Ridiculous.

Traitors all of them.
If he breaks faith with the Nato alliance, it must be regarded as nothing less than an act of treason.
If Trump does anything further to undermine that alliance, those acts must be regarded as treason.
As far as I am concerned, breaking faith with the NATO alliance would be an act of Treason. We helped form NATO, and so much more than military security rides on that alliance. To undermine that would be to undermine our physical security, our economic standing, and our credibility the world over.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
