Funny how I’ve seen 1000 articles bemoaning the horror of young men’s prospects since I was young, yet never once have I seen a piece on how young women view the job market/economy Even when they’re the ones going to uni, holding down dom labor + traditional jobs You’d think one might like to know
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.
Hey, Squeaker Mike, show me some results from prayer...🤬🤬🤬
Trump's Dangerous Militarization of DC! youtu.be/MCJPCbMSIg8?...
In honor of all the speculation going on over the last couple of days, tonight’s moving recommendation is The Death of Stalin.
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.
After the deadly 2016 floods, West Virginia lawmakers created an office responsible to mitigate future damage from similar disasters. But it has remained under-resourced since it was created.
As good of a takedown as I have ever seen.

colleagues in an email Friday that he was submitting what he called an “involuntary resignation.” He explained that ever since his whistleblower complaint became public, the agency’s actions against him amounted to retaliation that ultimately drove him out of his position.
BCGEU president Paul Finch said at a press conference that about 93 per cent of union members voted in favour of a strike. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
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.
Trump regime operatives exposed in plot to undermine Denmark and overthrow the government in Greenland. Regime operatives attempted to disrupt democracy through misinformation and disruption operations aimed at recruiting traitors and collaborators to help sway public consensus towards the US.
Don’t look away
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.

Reminder: The last public appearance by Shelley Moore Capito was at a coffee shop in Follansbee WV. The shop was open roughly three weeks. Senator Bernie Sanders made three WV stops. When will we get to make our opinions known to our elected leaders? mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/08/24/w...
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
Shelby County, where Musk’s xAI facility sits, has Tennessee’s highest rate of ER visits for asthma. For the majority-Black residents of the area, emissions from the company’s methane gas turbines exacerbate longstanding public health concerns.
NO SLOWING on the gun violence this week as there were seven separate mass shooting incidents in the United States where seven people were killed and 31 were injured. My Sunday recap covers this AND all the critical legal and political details of last week: shero.substack.com/p/shero-on-s...
Exactly. A central component of present-day American Christianity is a backlash to the kindness, tolerance, and pluralism taught by Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street. Nothing worse than helping a stranger in need or having Black neighbors who you treat as people.
If you’re in Chicago, pissed off at the thought of a military takeover of our city, and want an outlet, come to my campaign’s punk show this Thursday at Gman Tavern. God knows I need it: katforillinois.com/concert
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Vacation-prone frauds with armed entourages preaching virtue? Boo them louder. Hypocrisy deserves an audience.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
Good to know, and I just learned about making one....

Did they find those pesky Trumpstein files?
M.C. Escher fans would agree....
Solidarity and acting in solidarity are the only guarantees that union members have. NLRB has been hamstringing union organizing for years.
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
That fvkn sob.
Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Mexico Pacific wants to extend their destructive LNG project in the Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Their request should be denied in order to protect this biodiverse space.

"Here legally, engaged in a sanctioned process to determine their eligibility for asylum, they have committed no crime. They are arrested anyway, and the lives they’ve risked to come to the United States are thrown into chaos."
A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.
NEW: A new cryptocurrency promoted by Kanye West’s X account soared in value—then crashed, inflicting losses on the majority of investors. The majority of traders have recorded losses, collectively losing more than $20 million, says blockchain analytics company Nansen.
www.rawstory.com/ceo-compensa... More reasons to elect a CEO as President is that they can run the country like a business is the dumbest statement ever! They will make us all employees, rather than citizens.
Love this!
Private prison and surveillance companies like Geo Group, CoreCivic, and Palantir just reported massive profits last quarter thanks to lucrative government contracts for Trump's mass deportation machine. All of course donated to Trump's inauguration. They're getting rich off cruelty.
driving 14-ton up-armored military vehicles around a peaceful city at all hours of the night isn’t just hostile to democracy and civil society, it’s reckless as well
It’s not “radical” to demand fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. What’s radical is thinking workers should struggle while CEOs rake in record profits.
Not now, Caesium-137 contaminated shrimp.
I'll say it again. Pete Ricketts ran Nebraska like a mob boss.
If you have friends & family in DC, check in on them. When the military + local police presence + curfew hit its zenith in DTLA, I got so down.. Familiar spaces & walks were not the same, & at times it felt like my home was not my own. Community, both near & far, is really important right now.
A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.
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.
James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”
Holy shit.
Editing, the most important part of writing, aside from throwing out crap that you wouldn't say or show someone else 🥸
ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They don’t want you to know how they’re treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVS…
Let’s make a whole Godzilla Day out of this, huh? Who doesn’t love Godzilla?
We may have to do the same! Censorship only wastes the minds of everyone who can read.
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
My take: TACO vs Putin We get Russian oil Putin gets Ukraine Brief break in fighting to restock, regroup
Not normal, but I cannot stroke out over every single reactionary shit show, just underline some of them
Guess what? Rep Carter still doesn't care about you. That's why Coastal Georgian's gather every Wed. at 10am to remind our community that we deserve a rep. that cares about us - those who need Medicaid, SNAP, healthcare coverage, civil rights, and to live in a country that respects due process.

In Morgantown, volunteers have been using federal emergency funds to put people and families — typically single mothers and their children — in hotels, helping them avoid sleeping in their cars or on the streets. A freeze on those funds will likely end the program, reports @amelianews.bsky.social.
Just another parade?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer prices rose in July and the core CPI rose 3.1%, up from the prior month's 2.9% increase, another sign that inflation is starting to heat up as the effects from Trump's tariffs ripple across the economy. www.bls.gov/news.release...
i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

"Fear narrows the aperture. It makes clever people average…brave people quiet…and decent people useful to indecent power. That’s not a judgment; it’s biology. Your nervous system’s job is to keep you alive…not to preserve a republic. Left unchecked… that wiring becomes a tyrant’s best friend."

Trump vowed to punish Russia on Friday (July 8). He failed to follow through — repeating a failure from January, March, and May. But now, Trump isn’t just failing to punish Putin, he’s also finding new ways to reward him. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
