US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.

It could never not be great 😊 I think I’ll show it to my kids for movie night this wknd
As good of a takedown as I have ever seen.
Dear NATO: stop taking the piss and let Ukraine in
What could possibly go wrong?
I’m waiting for the movie about his life. Who could play him?
this is the kind of president I want to see. One who would hopefully prioritize legislation against guns, barring trading/stocks for elected officials, and overturning Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
💥 When the neoliberals go too far: #Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world & the government is a #neoliberal regime that caters to the wealthy. Indonesian parliament was set on fire by people protesting reps giving themselves salary increase 50 X higher than the minimum wage.

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.

Interesting to hear that GB immigration court system is also backlogged. I wonder if it’s as bad as here in the US? I think the backlog is intentional. Corporations benefit from hiring undocumented labor so they can underpay them. If the courts were efficient, wages would be higher on average.
Just 1.5 minutes, with minimal hesitation and repetition, and no deviation, of the exact opposite of what Reform has to say on people claiming asylum in this country. Good for BBC Westminster Hour to be making the space for these values - which are truly, really British.
encourage NG members to protest with y’all, I say

Honestly I’m more scared of vance. He’s willing to compromise morals, he’s surrounded by Project 25 authors/collaborators, and he’s healthy enough to go the distance letting them use him.
I like how since we can’t solve democracy, we’ve all turned into junior sherlocks trying to solve The Case of the Decrepit Felon.
it probably soothes him just to be out on the links.
mouth breathing.
it’s been too long since i watched this.
they’re scared of what he’ll say. …which is kind of remarkable, considering everything he’s said.
wtf is that evidence?
WH aide: Uhh has anyone seen the president Other aide who just threw out what he thought was a sack of old mashed potatoes: No

Screw this— let’s FIGHT #Labor Day #protest
Protest, remind them you have a duty,
Surprisingly no, it just takes a few more minutes online to make sure the site you’re buying from is legit/has good reviews. Reddit helps a lot.
The most urgent task for Congress is to shut the government down until the Executive can be brought to obey the law. Shut it down. No deals with an executive that will not honor them.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Ah well, we could pocket the idea for if it ever becomes viable
You can propagate moss by putting a small amount in a blender with plain yogurt or buttermilk, painting the "slurry" on rock, brick, or bare wood, in indirect light. Keep moist.
And it’s beautiful.
A woman is killed every 48 hours in Canada and whether she is Jewish or Muslim or Catholic or an Atheist etc. they are all important and we are not accepting national antisemitic panic from a government cutting supports for violence against women at 81%. Fuck off.

The other thing is, in a time when Donald Trump has won two presidential elections I simply don't believe that a candidate has to do this sort of too clever by half triangulation to win! If you're not good enough at politics to avoid throwing your own constituencies under the bus then don't run

i heard that if you kiss a union member in Chicago on labor day all workers in the city will find a shot of malort and an old style tall boy under their pillow tomorrow.
Unions should start partnering with neighborhoods and localizing education, produce, healthcare. Cut corporations and big govt out if they won’t listen
President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than one million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
anyway while you’re cracking your jokes about how much it sucks having to work your fancy job in my hometown this is what’s happening to the people who don’t get a summer recess from dc ❤️ bsky.app/profile/dcmi...

Happy Labor Day, Michigan! I was proud to join the Teamsters in today’s parade to celebrate the working people whose strength and solidarity built and keep our state moving forward. Unions built Michigan and I’ll always stand with them and put workers first.
this is controversial for the precedent it would set but… if the Supreme Court extended his immunity to his entire life span, but in exchange he agreed to step down, I would be all for it. My reasoning is that he’s compromised by Russia and endangering the entire planet.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Oh yeah, one more thing. When anybody tells you they know what God said or did or wants you to do they are lying to you that includes every priest minister, preacher, etc, etc, etc
I believe God exists… and I believe He’s nothing like what religious people try to say He is. As if they fucking know. It’s foolish and irresponsible. If you created the entire cosmos and you’re the only one, I don’t think you’d live according to human expectations either.
Me to myself: “Now is not the time to crack a joke about an old man in his pajamas opening the windows at his house and monologuing to the entire neighborhood…”
Happy Labor Day! I can’t believe it’s September. We had no direct sunrise today but we had several pre-sunrise configurations, including this very nice display to the north. It’s a narrow vertical so definitely tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
What’s up with the people who block replies on posts? It’s the social media equivalent of yelling something and then putting your fingers in your ears and yelling, “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!” I had a damn funny response that agrees with you, and now you’re going to die not knowing how funny it is!
Boston is UNION STRONG 💪 @gblcboston.bsky.social
my favorite thing is all the little moments discovering teens still have a soul and they’re still creating. Despite everything corporations are doing to them.
some teenagers at the park set up their stereo next to me and when the music came on i had this desperate, irrational terror that my bluetooth had somehow connected--but no. they had, in fact, gathered to practice couples' choreography to the 2013 great gatsby soundtrack 😭
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
#TheDoubleTax argues that BLACK WOMEN face the full compounded cost of racism and sexism so they are the group I frequently compare everyone in the book to. However, there are life milestones, e.g. retirement, where Asian, Latina, and Native women are worse off, hence why I say "women of color"!
I want to thank the Black women in my life who have just poured into me throughout this whole process. My friends joined me for an unboxing party and surprised me by sharing the kindest things about my journey. My heart literally couldn't take it. Whatever happens. I'm so grateful. #blacksky
CONGRATULATIONS!! 😮💨 That’s a seriously huge accomplishment, I am still trying to achieve it myself. May it mark the beginning of a long and beautiful way of life (not saying “career” bc I find that to be a soulless word) for you!! ❤️🍾🎉🙌🏽
It's official. The books that I wrote arrived. I am an author y'all. I AM AN AUTHOR. A childhood dream I never thought could happen is happening!!!!!! 🥹 In 15 days, #TheDoubleTax is coming to a doorstep, bookstore, and library near you. Please pre-order by 9/16: annagifty.com! #booksky #blacksky
We’re all being held hostage at the wealthy relative’s (corporations) cookout, where their spoiled 7 year-old is running around being rude and destructive.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
A Labor Day message from the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom:
is that a game or a screensaver?
I held out as long as I could 🎃🍁🍂
C’mon folks 19 states are facing occupation, let’s make sure this toolkit makes it around BlueSky 🤗 WE are the resistance!
Did I read that Netflix also contracted with Colbert with a most lucrative deal?
Also drop Whole Foods, if you can even still afford that place. I have a free Amazon student account and only use it to find products, which I then buy directly from seller 😅 they’re still useful as a search engine I figure
I wonder why Native American tribes haven’t detonated that whole cliff face yet. They should.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Protests in Indonesia. The people against the government. It’s happening all over. youtu.be/hsTLYrSdOHY
We need contraceptives for men honestly. Do the opposite of any “scientific” news coming out of the trump camp.
i hope they’re well protected is all i can say. Why are they waited til Sept 3??
Workers are the backbone of our state and our country. That’s why, since taking office, we’ve invested in apprenticeships and job training, protected worker’s rights, and prioritized building pathways to work, wages, and wealth for every Marylander.
this is satisfying
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
We need creative ways to peacefully hit their money. It all always boils down to money with them.

I like it. Being poor to begin with, simple’s all I can afford, anyway. Besides, grocery store produce has taken a major downward turn. Fruit and veg are either under-ripe or basically rotting, at this point.
It’s already destroying huge swaths of crops & causing farmers to abandon agriculture. You can tell bc oranges from the grocery store are largely flavorless. Other places in the world hang these huge nets over the crops, but only ONE of this species has to get in to completely ruin it.
there was a great piece on NPR (I’m sorry, I can’t remember which show) talking about an invasive species that is decimating citrus. There have been board meetings btwn companies on the issue. They estimate that citrus will soon be a delicacy. One lemon/orange will cost ~25-30 dollars.
The other day, my mom bought a tomato and it was completely rotten inside.
More of these natural human moments, whenever you can. I think some people need to see this, for multiple reasons.

My unrealistic dream is there would be enough liberals investing in the same companies that Congress members invest in… and they just abruptly sell off all their stocks so the value plummets.
Boycott Idea: What if local farmers only supplied to unions, who then dispersed the food to neighborhoods, and we all just… stopped buying groceries from major retailers and cooked simple meals? Could call it a “Cook-Out,” and do it until trump drops tariffs.
