A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
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.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
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!
When you cut the social safety nets, you can expect people to fall and land on the streets.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Oh just fuck off.
I'm sorry but if you take money from a source to push partisan talking points and don't readily disclose that to your audience OF COURSE you are going to destroy your credibility -- ESPECIALLY if that source is dictating or limiting your work. I'm not sure how anyone considers that up for debate.
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
What a ridiculous person.
Pure, unmitigated rage coursing through my body over a call in a game I have zero investment in…football officially back 😍
Ya think?
Shameful.
Excellent question.
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
Why would I be shocked that any of this is happening when my parents lived through being told to cross the STREET for white people? We know who yall are.
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
This guy is delusional and dangerous.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Another master of pounding reality into a shape that fits a personal agenda rather than adapting ones understanding to reflect reality.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
If you’re angrier over a thrown Subway sandwich than a school shooting then u really are a fleabrained excuse of human flesh.
I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?
You’re not immune from disability. You’re not immune from chronic illness. You’re not immune from homelessness. People always believe they’ll be the exception. That the bad thing won’t happen to them. That we aren’t trying hard enough. It’s not true. It can happen to anyone.
Someday I am going to write a book about how America managed to create a strain of Christianity that is completely antithetical to, well, Christianity.
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!
This argument is an Absolute Cinema... 👀😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky #animals

We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.
I know you, Chicago — and I know you’re up to the difficult time we have ahead, thanks to this President.
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
I guarantee you that none of the men who paid for sex with the girls Maxwell and Epstein trafficked were roofers looking for work at a Home Depot
I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but “the president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes him” is in fact very alarming
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
He cried, “Why are you doing this? I was just eating crabs!” as ICE & DC cops smashed his head into pavement, blood streaming down his face. FIVE armed agencies to gang up on one unarmed man. It’s cowardice, it’s thuggery, it’s fascism flaunted in the heart of our capitol. Contact your reps.
People need to understand what's happening today: Trump sent the FBI to investigate one of his most prominent critics, and then threatened to military occupy multiple US cities. He's trying to become a full dictator who makes it illegal to oppose him.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
J. Krishnamurti on education.
Honest to God the outrage of the day on the right? That Cracker Barrel is having its first remodeling and new logo. Not kidding
🚨 Doctors were not allowed to treat people being held in detention. Unacceptable.
“Come and play with us, Danny.”
BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity. The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.
one question to ask the editorial board is whether there is a minimum bar for what constitutes "american democracy." if most people in most states are gerrymandered out of effective political representation, is that democracy?
💙💙
Led by US senator Jon Ossoff, the investigation cites hundreds of reports since January, including accounts of miscarriages, child neglect, and sexual abuse at ICE detention centers in dozens of states. www.wired.com/story/senate...
🐥 Sending laughter your way to ease our political woes #Dogsky #Dogs 🐥🤭🤣
Launch The Pie Fighters! :-)
Exactly
Mortified that the leadership of... Europe... has to come here b/c we couldn't bother to hire a competent woman for the job & instead re-hired a child rapist insurrectionist felon who happens to be Putin's little lap bitch. What Zelenskyy must sit through is now our eternal shame. #SlavaUkraini 🌻
San Francisco attorney John Keker isn’t mincing words.
Russia is not the only nation using that playbook.
🏆
I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally
Tonight in Washington D.C. The sign reads: “The Bondi order is unlawful you are not obligated to follow it”
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.
Fox News hosts saying Gavin Newsom’s tweets are childish and unbecoming of the governor of the state of California shows that you can lead a horse to water but the joke will still go over their heads.
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
I expected a tyrant with an iron fist, not a clown with a spray tan and swollen ankles.
“He’s been here 25 years cutting the state’s grass, paying his taxes — never even had a ticket… we got a felon in the White House but these are the people they got in there. Without immigrants this country is gonna go down.” 🇺🇸
This Saturday, nationwide “Fight the Trump Takeover” protests will take place with 50 rallies across 20 states to oppose Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas. “Fight the Trump Takeover” is coordinated by Texas for ALL,
Bless these Alaskans!
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
Trump walked away empty handed after giving Putin a series of gifts. Putin said the underlaying conditions for the war need to be addressed to achieve peace. Those conditions are ending Ukraine’s sovereignty/ movement towards Europe. I see some harsh terms being proposed to Ukraine. Trump’s a loser.
So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
Just to hammer this in: I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country. Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.
Preach!
The key word here being “idiot.”
Looks like he just sharted.
Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.
Just when I thought I couldn't loathe Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) any more, I watch HBO's "Surviving Ohio State" and realize I was wrong. What a despicable person, laughing off the molestation of young men in his care.
This is how the world should be.
This President doesn’t want to serve the people, he wants to rule the people. I’m not kissing his damn ring and neither will millions of Americans.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Gangs in the streets.
