Wow #LFC spending huge money but no one will accuse them of buying a title 🤷🏼♂️
Together, without exception. “…with the wisdom of Malcolm, and the soul of a Panther -so by any means is the answer” There is a light and it never goes out. Poverty is violence MAGA is destroying our country. The chance to rebuild is a gift. SEIZE IT!

Thank you, og
Elite 😉👌🏻
This #LaborDay isn’t just about rest—it’s about celebrating worker power. Workers built this country, and it’s workers who’ll shape its future. Today, we reflect on progress made and recommit to the fights still ahead. Wishing you a #HappyLaborDay.
Clyde Drexler sold sneakers for Puma. They still sell Clyde’s.
This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
It’s all selling a product. Star players don’t just endorse sneakers, they endorse their team.
Like Joe Namath and Roger Staubach before them
I know these talking heads all took classes where they learned better and are lying/deluding themselves, but now I really want to see a thread of their historical counterparts in the late 1920s also insisting the economy is fine and pointing to the stock market as evidence.
I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
Labor creates both the world of goods & services in which we are enmeshed, & also the communities that purchase & give meaning to this landscape of commodities. Without Labor, none of this exists.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Assume the Portuguese Leader correctly spoke of Trumps true purpose. Trump’s tariff paved the way for this alliance on purpose.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...
He will return to fire RFKjr.
It’s almost like Trump is an agent of the BRICs nations
A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was hit by GPS interference yesterday, with Russia suspected of being behind the attack.
Schabas (Prof. of Int. Law, with, i.a., incomparable work on the prohibitions of torture and death penalty): "In my view, South Africa’s case is exceptionally strong—arguably the strongest case of genocide ever brought before the ICJ." 1/20
This morning 9 former CDC Directors, whose tenures date back to 1977, published this warning in the NYT: RFK Jr is a danger to public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
Spent the day driving around Manchester, New Hampshire, a city for 80-something New Yorkers in deep debt apparently. I was driving alone, something I’m known to do. I saw a woman fleeing domestic violence. I “rendered aid,” vaguely. Minutes or maybe an hour later I was walloped by a Mack truck.
Who’s coming in?
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!
Police must be disabused of the notion that “they have to assume that everyone they're interacting with has a firearm”. It’s a logical fallacy. The truth is that a relatively small number of people own a ridiculous amount of firearms.
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.
Ruben is too slow if we depend on Khusanov’s speed and OReilly is no substitute for Silva or Marmoush
Nah this is just the end of a rebuild that’s lasted two seasons. Now they have to learn to play together.
Ruben is however much slower than Khusanov. And OReilly is no substitute for Bernardo.
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."
Khusanov would have gotten back. Ruben was very late. #MCFC
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
7. According to a new study by a Dem pollster, Trump’s attack ads largely explain the outcome of the election. The report calculated the % of swing voters who voted for Trump in the belief that Harris supported funding of transgender surgeries on undocumented immigrants. It was a whopping 83%!
In light of Third Way's now infamous memo advising the Democrats to avoid using certain words that sound “elitist, divisive, or confusing” to "ordinary" voters who care about "what really matters to the American people," a THREAD.

RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
Eugenics and the elimination of “weakness” is very literally at the core of every fascist regime that has ever existed. The Nazis were famous anti-science and the very first people they imprisoned were the disabled and chronically ill. This is absolutely classic fascism.
White leftists on here love the class not race narrative but not because of all the bullshit leftist crap they're reading. The narrative gives them an out so that they don't have to admit that they, the leftist orgs they belong to and their families are racist as fuck.
Did Putin give him a hot-handshake?
Even if he isn't, I suggest we take a page out of the Republican playbook: Just keep shouting that he is and move forward based on what we want to be true.
A real mental confrontation with the fact that our global society is based on the systematic enslavement, terrorisation, torture, and murder of millions of sentient, feeling, emotional living creatures... even starting to think about it starts one on a potentially life-altering journey.
As I said earlier this year… www.editorialboard.com/unsaid-make-...
“I think that’s wholly appropriate and certainly comports with my understanding of the law,” said C. Fred Bergsten, who helped negotiate IEEPA in the 1970s, “and hopefully it will excise lots of the damage that his tariffs have done.”
This is trickle down aggression and an example of the full militarization of law enforcement against its citizens. Now we are starting to understand how the rest of the word sees us. Because this how we've been treating their children. Schools were the last remnants of community policing in America.
How does that cops dick taste? You like it? You’re babysitting that cops dick all up and down this thread. Yeah he’s a hero.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
I watched Fox News for 2 straight days at my Mom’s house. By the time I left, I could easily see how, if that’s all you watched, you could be completely swayed. They do an incredible job of taking context-free facts, and beating the hell out of ‘em, over and over and over.
I’m a leftist who works towards class solidarity. All I see with other leftists is a gatekeeping and shaming others who don’t adhere to their purity tests. Solidarity=working together, not showing off how “right” you are. You want to unify others? Stop bullying people who don’t agree with you.
A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge. This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest. After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
Trump is not draining the swamp, he’s draining the US Treasury.
Trump is once again stomping all over Congress’s power of the purse, invoking a rare “pocket rescission” to claw back roughly $5B from the U.S. State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development. It’s the first time anyone has used the maneuver in nearly 50 years. trib.al/URbqygD
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
I ordered a churro donut and the baker said, “they are pumpkin churro. I hope that’s ok? I don’t want to jump scare you with the pumpkin.” And now this.
This could easily become an AI horror film classic. But also, if you run into a "Cracker Clarence" at the Cracker Barrel, I would probably walk right on back out. I'm safe bc I like to eat comfort food, in the comfort of my home, where I can make it🔥🔥💯 #SheShed

Two unnamed companies spent $10.7B and $7.5B respectively on Nvidia chips last quarter. These two companies are essentially carrying the entire US stock market.

A Nobel Prize-winning economist argued that the United States may not see the damage of President Donald Trump's economic policies until it's too late.

Overnight, this extremely well-funded tech company run by a billionaire has gone from “There’s no way we can possibly stop our plagiarism machine from convincing children to kill themselves” to “If you type anything we don’t like, we’re calling the cops.” Either way, they take zero responsibility.
Experts on voting warned that Heather Honey’s appointment could erode trust between state and federal officials, prompting states not to share information with the agency. One election official called her involvement with DHS “deeply troubling.”
Tulsi Gabbard released the names of CIA OPERATIVES! “It could potentially put CIA cover procedures at risk. It could put relations with foreign governments at risk.” The Predator in Chief picks all the best people...right? Not! www.thedailybeast.com/intelligence...
@markwarner.bsky.social
JB Pritzker's speech about Trump's threats to Chicago was great. -Called out the lie, didn't treat the BS pretext with respect -Cast it as a threat to his state's people -Threatened prosecution of personnel who break the law @brianbeutler.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social break it down here:
Democratic voters are not a monolith is a MAJOR part of the issue why there isn't a "Fox News of the left." Once we hear a message we don't want to hear, we turn off that outlet, rather than guzzle it down uncritically like right-leaning audiences do.
“We know the lack of open carry meant that the individuals who participated in that January 6 insurrection did not have firearms. If they had, we would have had a potential bloodbath on our hands,” says Kris Brown, president of @bradyunited.org.
An Israeli security source confirms that the IDF is currently striking Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes are coinciding with the weekly speech by Houthi leader AbdulMalik al-Houthi.

Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they weren’t busy tracking down America’s most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.
I sure hope that courage is contagious.
The utter dog-stupid irony of crying fascism w/regard to Covid, only to turn around and vote for this administration! It feels like a nationwide psych experiment being administered through the internet.
Antivax and anti-public health were in the ballot in 2024. They’re not springing this on the public by surprise, they campaigned on it—along with anti-science, and at the highest level anti-truth—then a plurality elected them. Some explicitly voted for it. Others didn’t care. But this was a choice.
Research shows that criminalization and encampment clearing doesn’t solve #homelessness. In a new post, Urban #research experts highlight evidence-based solutions like #housing vouchers and supportive housing to address homelessness in DC and beyond.
The fact that "identifying AI use" is a market is so symptomatic of technofascism--invent something nobody wants and sell them how to detect what they don't want.
Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...

“Death panels” but make it AI
Both-sides-ism, but for blame 🤷🏼♂️
RFK Jr. will be outed in the Epstein files. I have a strong feeling they will offer him up as some sort of initial sacrificial lamb. The estate knows quite a bit and they think Trump killed him. The light at the end of this particular tunnel is, in fact, an oncoming train.
OTTAWA – A new poll indicates an overwhelming majority of Canadians are in favour of regulating artificial intelligence.
I think at this point the best health advice anyone can get is do the exact opposite of whatever RFK jr says or does. Drink the fluoride, vaccinate your kids, don’t eat the roadkill
These are really insane numbers. Even if we only look at formal political offices, billionaires are more than 10,000x more likely to hold a national political position than the average person.
The U.S. government is holding a massive fire sale for mosquito nets, water towers, printers, generators, textbooks, agricultural equipment, and motorbikes that once belonged to USAID, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports.
Let’s take maybe an easier case. I’ve seen cases where somebody asks for regular advice doing a household task and an AI chatbot returns advice that looks knowledgeable but basically reduces to “fill your home with deadly chlorine gas.” Are we saying that there is and should be no liability there?
Every American has to decide what they are going to do now, because your government is out to kill you. Perhaps in January, this might have seemed like hyperbole, but in late August, it sounds like just another Thursday morning in the United States. 9/
