I think sciences's major problem is that it cannot refute falsehoods fast enough. For example Trump's claim that Hispanics are the most criminal six times in the debate with Biden was a lie that plaid a major role in electing him president and what he is doing. 🧪 #Sociology #Population
The number for each state is the number of people in that state it takes to equal the United States Senate representation of one person living in Wyoming. It would be easy to equalize, simply count each Senator's vote as the number of people in their state. 🧪 #Sociology #Population #Demography
“in 1946, the avg life expectancy in the US was ~66 yrs. Today, it is 78+ yrs. While med advances have helped, it is public health that has played the biggest role in improving both the length & quality of life in our nation… [Now] each of us must do what PH does best, to look out for one another”🧪🛟
It's Labor Day. Did you have to buy your holiday with eels, like folks in medieval Littleport? In the 1250s they got out of their customary service to the Bishop of Ely by paying an extra 2,000 eels each year. Greedy bishop. Happy Labor Day. May you keep your eels for yourself! 🧪🗃️
Having worked with these whales for almost 30 years now, CRRU's ongoing studies are incredibly important for the future protection of these presently "data-deficient" (and still commercially exploited) coastal balaenopterid whales that we so dearly cherish and love. 🐋

Strawberry baskets made in 1930s by cooperators at New Llano, Louisiana, where free thinkers from all walks, places, & even survivors of the NY Haymarket Riot built a colony to provide for their needs. A small museum there. Longest lasting colony in Louisiana promoted education & workers rights.
Happy #LaborDay weekend! Brought to you, by #Unions
The group who brought you No Kings, the John Lewis Day Rally, and now the Hot Springs Labor Rising Rally is forming a formal organization called Hot Springs Rising. If we grow our organization enough, we can have pop up protests! Join us this Labor Day!! #arpx #LaborDay #arbluedots @arkdems.org

Thanks to @nilc.org, @childrenslawcenter.org, @florenceproject.bsky.social & others who fought through the night to stop this abuse of power—literally as planes taxied for takeoff. #LaborDay #ImmigrantRights #ActNow Read our statement: www.immdef.org/blog/trump-a...
It's #LaborDay in the USA. On Sept. 5, 1882, tens of thousands of union laborers marched from New York City Hall to Union Square to protest deplorable working conditions. Their demands were for an 8-hour workday and safer working conditions. This is largely agreed to be the first Labor Day parade.
💥 1,000 protests scheduled for Labor Day - 36 in #Texas The area in red shows how the numbers spread out when zooming in on the map for events in your state www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/ 💥 #MayDayStrong #Protests #LaborDay
Happy #LaborDay weekend! Like years past, I’m proud to stand with workers who collectively bargained to give us the weekend, 40-hour work week, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare and Retirement Plans. Thank you. #TogetherWeCan 🇺🇸
"The thing that we have to do as labor is show up, stand up, speak out to make sure that people know that... the fight for a good life, the fight for a better life is our fight, and it's everybody's fight." — @rweingarten.bsky.social #WorkersDeserve #LaborDay
1/ This Labor Day, a look at a key goal of the early labor movement: reducing work hours without reducing pay. A 2020 story by @jamiemccallum.bsky.social details how this fight remains highly relevant today. #LaborDay inthesetimes.com/article/labo...
The only way we change this is by demanding it, regulating it, and building social programs for the benefit of all. We had the pro-worker political will in the early 20th century to make this happen. We can do it again. Happy #laborday
"Animal Farm" and "1984" grew out of author George Orwell's concerns about freedom being threatened not just by totalitarianism, but also by poverty and oppressive working conditions. buff.ly/LB4Go7l #LaborDay
Today we honor the workers who built this country—not billionaires, not corporations, but everyday people who get up and get it done. Labor Day reminds us that the dignity of work deserves fair pay, safe workplaces, and the right to organize. When workers rise, America rises. ✊💙 #LaborDay
Hell yeah @terrigerstein.bsky.social with the most important labor day weekend article I've read. Adding ALL THE HASHTAGS! #SolidaritySeason #WorkersOverBillionaires #WorkersLaborDay #WorkersDeserve #LaborDayWeekend #LaborDay
This Labor Day, I stand shoulder to shoulder with the hardworking people who built this country, and continue to keep it moving forward. As a proud Firefighter, Paramedic, and IAFF Union Member, I know firsthand the value of collective action, fair wages, and safe working conditions. #LaborDay
🌊 TOMORROW ✊ Labor Day Protest — Laguna’s Main Beach, 10am–12pm, Monday. Sept 1. Bring signs, sunscreen, and friends. Stand up for workers’ rights and our people—see you on the Beach! #lagunabeach #laborday
On #LaborDay 2025, let’s resolve to change this current reality: 82% of U.S. households have no one in the household who belongs to a labor union. The inevitable result: our record U.S. #inequality. www.commondreams.org/news/support...
This year, #LaborDay is more than a barbecue. Billionaires are stealing from working families, destroying our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities. Join us Monday, Sept 1, at any of 1,000+ collective actions across the US. www.FiftyFifty.one #WorkersOverBillionaires
Are you organizing a #LaborDay Event and want to make sure it counts? Make sure every anti-Trump protest and every protester is counted in the record books at www.WeCountProject.com Together, we can show the true strength of this movement because protests count, and so do we! #50501Movement
Republicans and union-busting brands will post “Happy #LaborDay,” knowing damn well that they were the types of people Labor fought against to bring us: - minimum wages - overtime pay - 8 hr workday and a 40 hr week - end to child labor - workplace safety Support unions.
Your Sasquatch picture will not steal my joy. Have a groovy weekend🦋 #LaborDay
#LaborDay Remembering Utah Phillips He was an American Labor Organizer, folk singer, storyteller, and poet Always telling the stories of American workers and the struggles of labor unions Thank you, Utah Phillips #UnionStrong
If you have tomorrow off, if your kids attend middle school instead of working in a factory, if you have workplace protections, and if you have sick leave and vacation time, thank unions. Even if you don't belong to one, they're responsible for things we all take for granted. And happy #LaborDay.
USDA quietly said Friday it will, after a century, end the Farm Labor Survey (FLS), the only wage survey of ag employers. FLS is a critical input to setting local minimum wages for H-2A visa workers to try to avoid harm to U.S. workers' wages. #LaborDay #EconSky www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/Not...

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Take it from scientists: These are authoritarian lies. Trump and Project 2025 are destroying American science. They already have done great damage. American science has been forever changed and diminished. 🧪

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs

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.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
