at this Labor Day gathering of some olds and some youngs, the musical median is wilco
Working people are under attack by the Trump administration and their corporate allies. On Workers’ Labor Day, I’m with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor at the Labor Day parade to say: we’re ready to fight back for workers and to build a country that ALL #WorkersDeserve!
Rallies were being held throughout Los Angeles County Monday as part of the nationwide Labor Day effort billed by organizers as "stop the billionaire takeover," while the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition 46th annual Solidarity Parade and Picnic Rally was taking place in Wilmington.👏
SOLIDARITY! UFW President Teresa Romero joined thousands as they marched with @thelafed.bsky.social at the Los Angeles/Long Beach #LaborDay2025 march. Labor knows when we fight we win. #SolidaritySeason
I don’t know what that is so no
yes the same way that today I leap out of bed for my morning sky-dive
you have literally always felt better my friend
one thing no eighty year old man can say is “never felt better in my life”
I was not
I see the democrats have decided it’s a cool day for a million texts
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
if there’s one thing I believe more than anything in the world, it’s that millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on a study that was commissioned because trump asked somebody why can’t they make the whole plane out of the black box
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
MOVIE PITCH: I have no idea what you did last summer. Honestly I saw your pics from Iceland like two years ago and was like “I gotta stop following her. She just makes me feel bad about myself.” Oh, you killed someone? So fun!

girl actually, sorry for the mislead when I said “man”
when dogs evolved out of wolves they said “we’ll be the ones who eat a refrigerator box worth of cardboard”
as the proud owner of a 4 month old puppy I would just like to say congrats to the whole dog species for its ability to eat absolutely anything come on man what the fuck did you eat this time
WGAW writers: Candidates Night is Wednesday the 3rd - hope to see you there! And I would still love your endorsement if you have a moment to read why I’m running (link below)
writing after lunch on a Friday before a long weekend is like working through an expanding gas leak
the reason people love period pieces is because no one wants it to be now
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
gavin has gone from “people actually like me for once” to chasing that high forever
Perhaps the national guard can be tasked with spotting mitochondrial challenged children after they’re done mulching.

Good stuff from @unikunka.bsky.social
1. The president is an obvious bigot 2. His administration is pursuing a panoply of racist and sexist policies 3. Lisa Cook is the first Black woman on the Fed board and has done research on economic effects of racism How are we not talking about this? paulwaldman.substack.com/p/can-we-ple...
I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Avid readers have probably already seen their favorite authors--many of whom rely on these grants to buy time to finish their books--posting in shock about the form rejections they've received from the NEA. Well, here is the obituary. www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...
Every win matters
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
a little worried that my dying words will be “you’re never gonna get my love”
I’ve had “Mr. Big Stuff” going through my head for 30 years
Oh good. So we're talking nationwide CRASH, Scorpion or GTTF type units, only with soldiers specially picked by a DefSec who thinks he's on a mission from God and defends war criminals, and no one involved has any law enforcement training whatsoever. Sounds like a foolproof plan.
the san diego padres have set 9/10 as the deadline to end bobbleheads
I've been wondering how long it would take for these cases to start falling apart www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/u...
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech
I used to find "DEI" to be a weak corporate counterpoint to "racial justice" but now I unironically want every business in America doing DEI as loudly as possible because the relevant counterpoint today is "overt racism." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/more-dei-l...
thanks
how come you’re so smart and this is so dumb

MAGA patriotism is getting very demanding. In other news: Tractor production is up in Volgograd! Un-American Activities Everywhere virginiaheffernan.substack.com/p/un-america...
MPD, FBI, and others with non-agency specific gear arresting a guy for — get this — smoking weed on U Street.
we’re costco experts now, only hit the specific aisles that we need to and when we’re done, we do a slow death march through the entire store futilely looking for something they don’t carry
A handful of Senate Democrats, by refusing to end the filibuster and make D.C. a state, “paved the road down which Trump is now driving armored vehicles.” From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/iKjImIM
This is just one person. And just one stupid, useless outrage out of thousands. But he’s also a free and living rebuke to people who say that the law has no power now and we have no recourse.
Unless Cracker Barrel has changed their slogan to "Damn, darkies, will you spend some money here now?" this is a non-issue.

One of the happiest days of my life was the day I sold the car I owned for a couple of years while living in Manhattan
We have to look in your house to see if you are committing any crimes is Stasi logic
This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.

marco rubio has a combover right?
Vance absolutely phoning it in and just going on vacation non-stop is probably the only thing I even slightly respect about him
My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky
come for the essay, stay for the chart
RFK Jr is defunding federal mRNA vaccine research, and justifying it with a bunch of irrelevant research while also lying about what that research says. not great prospect.org/health/2025-...
HUGE: A federal judge just struck down the Mississippi Supreme Court district maps, finding they violate the VRA by diluting Black voting power and must be redrawn. The maps cut the majority-Black Mississippi Delta in half, leaving no majority-Black districts in a 38% Black state.

This is full-on authoritarianism. Free Nicole Collier. #txlege
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Take five minutes today to read this piece by the essential Radley Balko, which offers an excellent gloss on the quality of justice in America today.

One of the great modern American film magazines needs your help! The best way to help is to get a 1 year subscription. The price -- $2.41 a month!! -- is bargain for all the great writing and illustrations it'll help pay for.
Thank you for the rec, love the stuff I just read. Subscribed!
Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
I agree with this writer
WATCH & LISTEN.
haven’t seen superman but I enjoyed this director/actor distillation variety.com/2025/film/ne...
amazing to see a man eat shit and take a shit at the same time
I really do need a good laugh and this hits the spot
deleting because of reporting about them never carrying it, very confusing to me, sorry
essential barnburner of a piece from Mr. Nolan
BREAKING: Washington D.C. is suing the Trump administration for its hostile and authoritarian takeover of the city's police department. This is a hugely important step in standing up to President Trump's wild and unprecedented abuse of power.
this is as infuriating as it fucking gets
Kevin Kiley is on MSNBC doing what I’d describe as gerrymanderingly shitting his pants

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"
This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone “just asking questions” for “women’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
"Look, you do not have to explain to me things like 'America was always corrupt!' or 'People have always just been trying to get rich!’ Yeah. This is not the same though. This is worse."
ah, there goes our pro-worker president
Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…
Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.
I deeply love august more than any other month and it knows that and plays with my heart
