Trump did not write this! Who is in charge?
“El Norte” is where the jobs are, yet our country does not value the people who help build, feed, & sustain it. On Labor Day, we revisit this op-ed by Vanessa Trujano, published one week after a farmworker died being chased by federal agents during an immigration raid.

For all the MAGAts that voted for Yam Tits to have the brown people deported and are now upset that brown people they like are being deported.... Fuck you.
Just found out a neighbor, husband and wife were deported and left 3 small children here in Paducah Kentucky. Both were in the process of citizenship but deported anyway.
It's clear what they’re doing. However there is no moral high ground once you elect a misogynistic,felonious, treasonous, sociopathic, racist, psychotic, rapist, child molester then support everything he says and does. I would love to deport the real problem along with their female counterparts.
If the WH wanted to debunk the Trump is dead rumor, why aren’t they just putting him out there and letting his motor mouth go?
I'm not onboard with the "is Trump dead?" speculation/conspiracies, but after a full Biden term of constant "is Joe Biden too old/infirm to be president?" the media's seeming disinterest in the many weird signals we're getting about Trump's health is quite curious.
He talks shit and does nothing for the ppl of Kentucky
Labor Day LIVE: "Workers Over Billionaires": Nationwide Protests Erupt as Union Leaders Rally Across Chicago www.youtube.com/live/LYiIfjC...
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
Don't search Berlin
This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E
On labor day remember
Happy labor day, go thank a union

Germany abandons plans to send troops to Ukraine, opting instead for financial support, military training, and arms production. Berlin aims to deter future Russian aggression without deploying the Bundeswehr, following Trump’s refusal to commit and fading hopes for peace talks.

More than 1.2 million immigrants disappeared from the labor force from January through the end of July, according to preliminary Census Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center.
Trump is seeking nuclear talks with Russia and China.
And, btw, Trump having a childish fit with India has nothing to do with Russia-Ukraine and has actually already helped Putin by driving India closer to China and Russia. It was all because India would not lie on Trump's behalf and claim he settled their dispute with Pakistan.

It’s called bribery. In 10 yrs in the US, 5+ billion$ spent by foreign govs & overseas politicians to influence & push policy changes, according to the nonprofit watchdog, OpenSecrets. Including spending by more than 180 countries, led by China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Liberia, Canada, and Germany.
For decades, we’ve been reimagining economic justice and ensuring shared economic prosperity. Ever since our founder George Soros began his philanthropy in 1979 by giving scholarships to Black students in South Africa during apartheid, we’ve been dedicated to advancing rights, equity, and justice.
This week, @amo.house.gov & I travelled to Ghana and Liberia to discuss public health, trade, and security partnerships. Saw firsthand negative impacts of Trump Admin’s cuts to USAID & how America's adversaries are trying to seize the advantage.
Trump’s Labor Secretary in RI today. Hope she has better answers & not just lame excuses for Trump’s wind power worker layoffs that are putting people out of work & contributing to higher utility bills for homes & businesses.
Trump’s anti-vax HHS Sec. must stop spreading medical misinformation, hollowing out the CDC, & compromising the agency’s ability to protect public health. The Trump inflicted brain-drain at CDC puts public health at risk & undermines America’s public health response.

Body pulled from Lake Lanier identified as 66-year-old Hall County man
You forgot to tell anyone your back from the lake so I had to come check.
@teenvogue.com has become one of the bravest publications in mainstream journalism. Here's their well-researched op-ed about Lake Lanier.
The White House has undertaken initiatives to crack down on immigration, suppress speech, and curtail US public health efforts. These online tools are tracking the rapidly changing US landscape. Get details:
"I don’t know how to convince everyone that we can’t give up. So many people consider COVID to be endemic, or accept that everyone will eventually become infected, thinking nothing more can be done... but I know a better world is possible and we will move forward together."
"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy. It’s more than policy, though. It’s woven into the fabric of this country since its inception." Read our latest op-ed from @thetattooedjew.com ⤵️
For @teenvogue.com, I wrote about America’s favorite bipartisan pastime: starving people at home and abroad. As officials confirm what we already know, that there is a famine in Gaza, I hope we can all remember that none of this is unavoidable. It is a choice.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family’s ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.

‘It’s only going to get bigger’: Australia embraces the Japanese game that turns rubbish into sport
Rep Maxine Waters has urged the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Donald Trump from the White House.
This spring, the DOJ terminated $811 million in grants, $158 million of which was meant for gun violence prevention. In Chicago alone, seven organizations lost almost $16 million. The cuts, violence prevention organizers said, jeopardize the infrastructure they have worked to build.
The Supreme Court warned President Donald Trump on May 22 that he could not lawfully fire members of the Federal Reserve’s board of governors. It took him only 95 days to ignore them. trib.al/hnHmORP

Better cities are possible, and getting there involves subtracting bad stuff (e.g. cars, parking spots) as much as adding good stuff (e.g. frequent/reliable public transit, protected active transit, parks). Scarce bad stuff + abundant good stuff. Both, at the same time.
Abundant community space and retail business, achieved by regulating scarcity of cars.
Public programs that directly pay for some or all of people's utility or grocery bills are - and have been for many years - the immediate solution to this particular type of pain. Trumpists are of course gutting those programs, along with the rest of the social safety net. Unconscionably.
The USDA is giving the public just three weeks to weigh in on a key step of its attempt to scrap the Roadless Rule, which protects almost 59 million acres of forest land from road construction and timber harvesting.
This is the kind of thing I talk about — people say ‘battery’ and immediately think ‘lithium’, whereas I am always ‘it’s about storing ENERGY, not (just) electricity and there are an infinite number of ways to store energy.’
Public sand batteries could give the state new powers to set the wholesale clearing price for electricity.
I sincerely believe in the power of the local guy economy. Cherish, protect and serve as a local guy if you can. I got a guy who can do that tile backsplash. I am a guy who can hook you up with a yard of wildflowers.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Dr. Mandy Cohen, who still lives in Raleigh, served as #CDC director from 2023-2025. She said the current chaos at the CDC is putting the public’s health at risk.
A #SocialSecurity Administration official resigned from on Friday, days after submitting a whistleblower complaint alleging that U.S. DOGE Service staffers uploaded critical personal information for more than 300 million people to the digital cloud.
#SocialSecurity is on track to receive nearly four million retirement claims this year, up by 525,000. The main reason appears to be increased fear and confusion over the program's future.
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Kentucky) and members of his committee are slated to meet privately on Tuesday with survivors of Jeffrey #Epstein. It's not known which victims. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
