SHUT UP! HE'S FINE! "I'VE NEVER FELT BETTER!"
Thank you on this labor day!!
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
As someone who has home caregiving businesses and several nursing homes, I understand Bruce Willis' wife's decision to put him in an assisted living home. It's never an easy decision but she's doing what she thinks is best for him and their children. Don't second-guess her.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
The wearing of AR-15 lapel pins by Republican representatives tells us just how much they care about children in the US. Ban the pins and the guns.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

No worries. I'm not going to fight to keep it. But thanks for the offer. I *did* search for one - naturally, they don't want you to find one. LOL
When "journalists" play dumb & solely *react* to what is happening *now,* remember their dereliction of duty on almost every front. From failure to correct lies to incuriosity about the "assassination attempt" to failure to analyze what his policies would do & warn voters, *they* helped create this.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
All I can think of is fear.
I'll never understand why, on a holiday, the owners of ABC & ESPN don't show US Open action on ABC for the "commoners" who don't have cable. Oh, I forgot, if you don't pay to play, they don't give a *. They're missing a big opportunity for ratings on the old channel. Gauff/Osaka would be a huge hit.
Instead of the preview photo for this, I wanted to show this picture from within. Our National Guard troops sleeping on a fucking warehouse floor. After a hard day of gardening, I'm sure. What an abuse of our troops. Illinois governor, hero. puppy assassin, zero. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...
The failures and false equivalencies of MSM have led us here. Now they publish all this stuff about effect when they were part of the cause as if they could not have predicted or done better in warning. It's a false "oh no!" They are as culpable as Rs and nonvoters and...
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
I tried - a 'no reply' email address. So bounced back.
🧵The visceral hatred so many GOP Voters have for Democrats have always puzzled me. I mean, what horrible thing did Democrats ever do to hurt them, ever? Not a damn thing, that's what. Meanwhile, Republicans ACTIVELY go around hurting people. (1/3)
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.
I have no idea why I'm suddenly getting this targeting, but it's similar to when I went off X. They sent an email "you're back on threads." Within 1 hour and a few posts later, "you filed an appeal on 9/1." Uh, no. I was using it again and... Anyway, what can ya do? LOL Have a great day!
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Was "allowed" back on Threads after a "suspension." I only posted a few things. Was back for less than an hour, I think. But I mentioned I was the same handle *here* and suddenly... I'm back to suspended. Not sure Zuck likes mentioning this site. Anyway....
I've been a union member for over 20 years. Even when work dries up, I pay my dues, because I know I'm supporting my fellow union members. Together we are strong. I was a Strike Captain w/SAG-AFTRA in 2023. I'd do it again. Without unions, you wouldn't have OT, weekends off, or today. #unionstrong
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Good meme, but feel bad for the lady in picture. She had no idea when this was taken she'd become this meme, I'm sure. I wonder if it's stock photography or just someone's picture of their aunt in her new car....
Not sure why everyone is doubting Giuliani’s spokesman’s story it sounds totally plausible and not suspicious at all

Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
OMG!! No one can stand this gross prick... Read the caption under him..
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

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. 🤔

Fatality.

Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
U.S. politicians' responses to mass shootings are "always performative," says @cameronkasky.bsky.social. "This administration... is so defined by tragedy, cruelty, and violence that something like children being shot dead while they are praying is not going to be a topic next week."
NYT: "We're so witty and cute, aren't we?" No, you're smug. And your little wordplays and such aren't cute or funny. They are numbing and normalizing the extreme and abnormal. You have a big hand in what has happened and what will.
In other words, "Stop looking at me! It's not MY fault. I have NO part in this. K??" We should never shut up about this and WHO has allowed this to happen. PS - They aren't rivals, they are Republicans, a wholly owned subsidiary of the NRA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR remnant in Moscow.
These cancellations reflect President Donald J. Trump’s apparent determination to kill off wind and solar power initiatives and to force the United States to depend on fossil fuels. August 30, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
Good night 🌙 and….
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
What a time for stickers in DC! #walkswithmaisey #FreeDC @joeheim.bsky.social
These are literally kids…
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
NYT has bothesidesed us into the spot we're in.
Why is the @nytimes.com planting seeds of ambiguity where none exist? Under the U.S. Constitution, presidents have no role in running elections, certifying results, or appointing election officials. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
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.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
He obviously knows where he’s going.
Call to Activism 🚨BREAKING: JB Pritzker just dropped a bomb, saying that Trump is putting military in U.S. cities because he might aim to stop the election in Nov 2026. Pritzker, who's Jewish, compared it to how the Nazis came to power in Germany: "Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
Jack is in Traitor Trash state, right? Sorry, not sorry.
"Tots and pears." Did I get that right? I don't speak their language.
Who knows what really happened in this extremely eyebrow-raising story, but even if it was in the approximate ballpark of what this says, imagine flagging down a car for help and Rudy Giuliani gets out.
the story for how giuliani got hurt is super sketch but it does include “911” so i respect his commitment to the bit
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Jessica Tarlov: “I also need to say about this idea that Gavin Newsom suddenly cares about crime because of Donald Trump and he’s imitating him — this partnership with California Highway Patrol is from 2023 from the Biden era. It was effective and expanded.”
Jessica Tarlov: “As far as Gavin Newsom, he is not imitating [Trump]. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Trump does and how he communicates — how ridiculous these three and a half hour long North Korean style cabinet meetings are.”

FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
Yes, I remember her. Quite a handy (and pretty) infiltrator. The Rs are utterly stupid and vainglorious. I'm sure she (and other females of her type) flattered and.... well, whatever was necessary - these guys to get access. Who knows what blackmail is going on?
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."
And that money has been rumored to be from Russia, laundered through the NRA to repugs. The Rs are owned by Vlad and co.
Alas, my retirement plans have failed. But no one else won Powerball, either. So there's still hope. 🙂
From what we've seen, we're moving more towards barbarism in this country now. Horrifying.
This just replayed on "CBS Sunday Morning." The documentation of the rooms of those children killed in shootings. All stuck in time at the moment they left for school for the last time. I will never understand how Rs can look at this and still be pro gun. Heartbreaking.
Correct. His daddy's name was how he got the governorship, then presidency. Gore got screwed on so many levels. But another moment when a Dem should have fought back but felt like they had to be the better person "for the sake of the country." Whenever we do that, it gives permission. Needs to stop.
This is an abuse of our National Guard troops. They have jobs, homes, families. They are not supposed to be doing this stuff. When will the military stop accepting this abuse? Are these troops feeling like they're doing what the signed up for? This is an abomination.
My Republican State Representative, Jeff Farnan, voted to sign away earned sick time after it passed by nearly 58%. He doesn’t care about the will of Missouri voters.
When he was 'elected' Texas guv, that is when I finally made the decision to leave the state. I knew that if a highly qualified, good female leader like Ann Richards could be "beaten" by the good ole boy network with a moron like that, we were going down. (Then he followed me and became POTUS.)
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
