DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.
I still don’t understand why electronic bank transactions are subject to regular business hours.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Do I love tha it took the EU to mandate a charging cable standard? USB C is so ... unremarkable it's revolutionary. *works for power or data or both *can't plug it in the wrong way *6 months in and millions of tons of plastic waste averted www.theverge.com/24330106/usb...
Trump didn't release his tax documents. So, no.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...
Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.
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."
Lankford didn't answer the question. How politician of him to do so.
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
I climb the walls in the darkness of night. And to imagine that no one in the White House leadership, Republican party, nor hus smartest son pointed out the obvious flaws in the solution.
It doesn't help the myth that for many needing a loan to purchase there is only a break even point. Such is my case.
live your life in such a way that millions of people don’t joyfully await your demise
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Tesla said it had no data from a fatal Autopilot crash. A hacker found it. Back in 2019, a Tesla on Autopilot crashed in Key Largo, killing a couple. Tesla told the family there was no crash data available.
“Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” — Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Can the next U.S. president rescind this and claw back $5 million?!? What does the family need $5 million for?
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
So on brand for the customer base.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
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.
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
SPEAKER MIKE “HOOKED ON PORN” JOHNSON SAID I, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS NEWSOM BUILDER OF THE BEST MAPS, SHOULD FOCUS ON GOVERNING MY STATE. LETS NOT FORGET “MAGIC MIKE” SHUT DOWN THE HOUSE AND WENT ON EARLY RECESS BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE VOTE ON RELEASING THE ESPTEIN FILES! - GCN
also.... I do not repost picture-only posts because it displays as a URL. I get that it is easier.
Excellent question.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
All jobs, even C-Suite should be Silo hierarchy for salary instead of Pyramid hierarchy with pay bands being closer together than in the old outdated pyramid style.
Successful but cannot use a company designated resource is Not Succesful. Possibly over-Promoted.
True. My kids call me boomer even though my parents actually are.
There will be nothing surprising, or shocking, to be learned when all those books come out on the convicted felon when he is gone. All those 'insiders', who didn't have the guts to reveal damaging information in real time, won't get one cent from me.
I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
The Nobles made their own policies adjacent to the monarchy. They were the overlords of their own area and areas resources.
Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
I have a dream… That one day people will care about children the way they care about embryos.
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
As long as money is valued over human life, and the NRA is giving an abundance of $$$ to the politicians who make laws, these horrible shootings will continue. We need people in congress who truly represent the best interest of the people. This requires a high level of integrity.
And this is the world we live in. Tax dollars were wasted on this bullshit & Snopes has to fact-check it cuz it’s so unbelievably stupid. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...
At least the new DOJ’s malevolence and corruption is mitigated by its incompetence. They can’t even get an indictment on the Subway guy. meidasnews.com/news/d-c-res...
In a significant policy shift following the firing and departure of over 100 immigration judges, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday that temporary immigration judges will no longer need to have experience in immigration law.
The chaos at the CDC wouldn't have been possible without Sen. Bill Cassidy, a medical doctor, providing the crucial vote to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary. We should make sure he never forgets that.
When America mourns, Trump golfs. After the Parkland massacre in 2018, where 17 high school students & staff were murdered, Trump spent the weekend at Mar-a-Lago & was photographed on the course during funerals. The disconnect was searing: parents burying children, while the president hit the links.
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Xi quietly wrote to India’s president in March, just as Trump slapped tariffs on Beijing. Now Modi heads to China for the first time in seven years — a thaw that could redraw Asia’s balance of power: Here is your Evening Briefing.
10% ownership is Socialism.
The family was already asked. The kid wanted to thank his friend publicly for shielding him and give him credit for doing a brave act.
Normalizing bravery and gratitude. The kid wanted to thank his friend publicly for shielding him and give him credit for doing a brave act.
There is another redeeming reason behind this. The kid wanted to thank his friend publicly for shielding him and give him credit for doing a brave act. So many people in this thread are unhinged and clearly didn't hear the whole story to understand the situation.

Yes. The kid wanted to thank his friend publicly and give him credit for doing a brave act. So many people in this thread are unhinged and clearly didn't hear the whole story to understand the situation.
The kid wanted to thank his friend publicly. This isn't diabolical as you say.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
The oligarchy will not let prosecutions happen. The mext regime will deploy Merrick Garland 2.0. It is un-American to run our country this way. #Revolution2.0
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
Watching CNN & I have to ask, how in the FUCK did Dana Bash get her own show? She's not just naive. She's dumb. She can't believe that KIDS were targeted in a shooting. She doesn't understand how someone could be this depraved This is America, Dana. This is what we do. You cover it regularly
Why aren't Democratic leaders holding daily press conferences to list out every single authoritarian action he's taking each day? Please. Start now. Stop waiting for what the polls say. Stop looking to consultants for what language to use. Speak plainly about fascism now. START NOW!
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
It should be adjudicated as a crime but not a felony level. It was rude and disrespectful but no where close to the criminal actions of ICE as sanctioned by the current anti-Constitition government.
"Influence over policy?" Nobles MADE policy for their fiefdoms, other than the Kings and Queens above them.
Psaki: "If you have to keep telling people you aren’t a dictator, maybe your actions are getting a little dictator-y."
The Rich alao like Socialism when the money flows in one direction - towards them. You are correct. They have no principles other than gaining and hoarding money by any means necessary.
Yes, the Rich do like Capitalism but only in one direction.
Yes. there is a USA base there.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
And this is the problem/cause that Robin Westman was battling. It is a tragedy. It does not condone the actions. Catholics (& Christians) need to heed their leaders words. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. Unfortunately, many of them don't. This bullying action leads to mental breakdown & ultimately tragedy.
Both things can be true. Capitalism is exploitive. It is part of the problem.
Why can't the payment just be in taxes? What happened to taxes?
You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
and literally no one in government stepped up and stepped in. All the while, Trump hid his own taxes and other business dealings.
📌BREAKING: Trump officials put HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people's social security data at risk. 📌SOURCE INSIDE AGENCY: "This is the tip of the iceberg" of the problem's inside the agency right now. 📌Democrats need to call for hearings now. 📌RIGHT NOW.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Every single city that Trump is threatening to send troops to has had either record low or falling crime rates. Sending troops is simply a terror tactic and a test of what we will let him get away with. Once gone, freedom has to be fought for, hard.
We need more members of Congress representing us. Too many Representatives favoring the Wealthy!!
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
This. 100%.
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
The people around him are so afraid of him that they won’t even tell him how math works
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
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."
"Every truce with Putin is temporary. Every handshake comes with fingers crossed behind the back. Every concession is pocketed and used to prepare the next aggression." He has shown us who he is many, many times.
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
