Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
ALL of these deportation camps must be closed down. They are an abomination to us law abiding American voting citizens.
Benzie County, Michigan - about 250 and a lot of support from drivers!
This was spotted on a protest sign today and is too good not to share. It is spot-on.
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
Thank you on this labor day!!
I desperately want to email this to a certain journalist
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Same here.
Those WERE the days, my friends....
His finger is pointing in the wrong direction....
I wish Moscow would come and pick him up....
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
The ones screaming for zero separation of church and state are the same ones losing their minds when anyone from the church says anything they disagree with politically.
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

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.
You raised your dad right. Good on you!
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein wasn’t just a story — it was a prophecy about hubris, recklessness, and the chaos created by people who refuse accountability.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
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.
How did we ever survive, let alone become the strongest economy and military power in the world, before his tariffs?
AFSCME Local 2798. Local 18-S. OPBA. our unions are working for you today, Labor Day, and every day. here’s to all who labor.
Wait until he learns that Bush, Reagan, and Eisenhower were cheerleaders. www.flocheer.com/articles/506...
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Just a reminder.....
I like Presidents that know that the Mail-In Ballots and the Paper Ballots are the same thing.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by one president, 219 House members, 53 senators, and the NRA.
His gormless son didn’t come to help his dad?
Science is real
This
why is he carrying clothing on a hanger?
We haven’t had a mass school shooting in the UK in my lifetime. We have the same issues regarding mental illnesses, etc… as the US does. The difference? Gun laws. Saying “it’s not the guns” is total bullshit.
Posted by a wise Canadian, “Another reason to not buy 🇺🇸 .” Second Post- As Lord Farquaad from Shrek says. “Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I am willing to take.” And one more, “Another reason is that they allow additives not allowed in Europe. Their "food" is a chemical waste soup.”
And I hope Rudi's at the wheel....
There are some good things about us Yanks...
I spent not-enough time in Tassie and I love to hear the Australian English.
Shoes and subs are our "weapons" in this battle, folks.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
Son of friends boarded a plane with another family; friends frantically looking for him, gate staff refused to let father on board to look. When father did finally get aboard, his son was sitting calmy enjoying a Sprite with the other family.
"veranda" and "commanda" are my faves from "The Folks Who Live on the Hill."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Love that museum -- the floor with the postage stamps in different color marble is a treat!
Let’s see- perhaps one of your staff would know. Let’s ask them. Your press secretary would know because they likely wrote a release about it. If Radditz did her homework, she would have that answer when he weaseled out of it.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

"I believe he's who the president picked"? You are a U.S. Senator. You CONFIRMED him!!!!!
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Get out and protest tomorrow -- join labor unions, workers, and your neighbors to make your voice heard to protect everyone who works every damn day to make our lives better - on the local, state, and federal levels. Workers do the work - billionaires, not so much.
It shouldn't matter what a meteorologist agrees with. All that should matter is if they're math capable of performing the task at hand.
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
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.
Best Molly Ivins Quote is a very tough category.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1935: The Revenue Act of 1935 becomes law. Also known as the “Wealth Tax” or the “Soak the Rich Tax,” it significantly increased federal income, gift and estate taxes on high earners and large corporations. /1
You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order BANNING Chicago police from collaborating with the federal agents, because Trump is "neurotic, impulsive, and out of control." HELL YES!! 😎✨
As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...

Better yet!!!
I almost wet muh pants. 😭
And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.
All the Southern states border the Gulf of Mexico, so that shouldn’t be a problem! 😁
Too busy protecting the Big Orange Jobbie instead of protecting our kids.
@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.”
So, let’s just draw a straight line from the Atlantic to the Pacific halfway across this country. Everything north of the line goes to Canada. Everything South goes to Mexico. We’re proving to the world that we can’t govern ourselves with this administration.
This he has time to do? His kvetching about the work took more words than his recap of his performance review with Putin.
