While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025
THIS! Is the plain spoken truth telling I was posting about the other day here, the sort that everyone from White House press corps reporters to the person on the street needs to see, here and say. Quite an excellent op-ed. Coudn't have written it better myself! @velshimsnbc.bsky.social
Nothing more needs to be said
Amazing work - Thank You for sharing, and Happy Birthday Gran
Thank You !
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
I want one of those….
Literally the one thing the dude did that worked was the COVID vaccine and he is considering dumping it because of RFK.
I’m not a Dead Head, but that is one of the All Time Great album covers, and a favorite of mine since my teens ( a long time ago…)
Yes…..I have had a wonder collie (+ corgi mix) for 11-years. She always has to have a job to do
It’s the little things that sometimes make everything else seem a little better….

It’s not the country, it’s their leadership Same problem that we have here in the US
Rare to see them this way - usually it is just the flash as they leave the room 😸
Most presidents aim to build a legacy that history will deem important. Some broker treaties or fund infrastructure projects. Trump cares less about his LEGACY than his LEGEND. If he cannot be immortal, he at least wants to sow the seeds that he was some kind of Demi-god. Forever the salesman.
Scary shit is in the plan….
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.
Science is real
LABOR DAY SHOW UP TO YOUR PARTY.
"Eight hours labour, Eight hours recreation, Eight hours rest.” Labor Day weekend in the U.S. and Canada commemorates the contributions of workers, rooted in the labor movement’s struggle for fair working hours and conditions.
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.
We are a police state….
The king is delusional….
Hero’s!
Lip service but no action to come “Thoughts and Prayers” There is too much money to had by simply maintaining the status quo
Decades of mass shootings and not a single step taken to prevent them. They’re not even trying.
Good on ya Paul !
Awesome, and factual
It would be rude not to….
We’re launching a new task force to clear encampments, restore public spaces, and connect people with shelter and services. California is taking action by reducing unsheltered homelessness and outperforming the nation in slowing this crisis.
Rather than take meaningful steps to stabilize our economy and ensure Americans can meet their basic needs, President Trump has slashed the social safety net and is attempting to paint the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's Board of Governors as a villain. Read more: https://bit.ly/3JEiBRR
A favorite for a long, long time
Looking at the lack of background activity this looks like an obscene over escalation and unnecessary use of force
👍🏻
When Team Trump points the finger at those they disagree with, three fingers point back at them, revealing their own lawless guilt
Stop the hypocrisy ! Feed the poor, welcome the stranger, and Love your neighbor Don’t cherry-pick the Bible to fit your own personal beliefs or agenda
Gotta love em - even though they can be such terrors sometimes… 😸
🥲
Ouch 😢
Yeah, you should.

❤️ now a member of the Pack
Keep showing people the Better Path Forward towards their New American Dream
😸
Yes, Russia IS a Terrorist State Take by force and cause as much death and destruction as possible along the way regardless of the cost….
Kyiv, This is russia’s reality for Ukraine: daily terror, daily attacks, daily pain. I’m asking again: who still believes that putin and russia want peace? Do you still think the same after everything they’ve done? Russia is a terrorist state!
🚨He told us you’d never have to vote again if you elected him in ‘24. When are people going to start believing who Trump is when he tells us? Maya Angelou taught us something about that.
Another shooting. This time in a Catholic school in Minneapolis. It shouldn’t be normal to see 5th graders give TV interviews describing seeing their friends shot. None of this is normal. This is not inevitable. This is a policy choice. Enough.
I believe in the second amendment, but there are just too many guns in our country, and many of them are in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them I believe in Common Sense I believe in Life and the right to Live even more….
Our State and National Lawmakers remain UNWILLING to take the action needed to stop these killings The answers are simple and easy Follow the money…..
Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, speaks during a press conference after a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. “There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act.” #GunControlNow
Trump calls for protest organizers to be indicted for RICO.
😂
My heart breaks so much This is beyond TRAGIC 💔😥

Ukraine did not go into a war, they were attacked by another country without provocation. Of course they are fighting - for the right to peacefully exist Yes, millions have senselessly lost their lives - on both sides Should Ukraine quit now just because some moron does not like their chances?
That was the one today - made my day!
❤️
Big fir-baby
Trump: "Windmills -- we're just not gonna allow them. They are ruining are country."
Meanwhile, across the Pacific, China installed more photovoltaic energy last year than the US (where photovoltaics were invented in the 1950s at Bell Labs) has in its entire history! So, America Second!, I guess... www.pv-magazine.com/2025/01/21/c.... seia.org/research-res...
Happy, Happy, Happy Goat
I feel your pain - anesthesia is always scary Trust your Vet - they want a good outcome just as much as you do
A hint of things to come - He will want to live up to the name God help us….
All my life - I have not always liked where I have lived in the state, but there is so much to love about CA. If where you are doesn’t fit, it is easy to change your scenery and environment. Today I see 50-mile views on my short drive to work, and beautiful mountain lakes are a 20-minute drive
👍🏻
Show of hands please - Is anyone in favor of a Dictator running The United States? Anyone ?? Anyone at all ??? Just as I thought, only one hand went up…..sorry Donald
Trump made the comment while attacking critics of his federal police takeover in Washington.
That was fun to watch
Yep I didn’t know I needed to see it, but it sure gave a lift to my post-lunch afternoon at work
Do this every day - your back and neck will thank you and you will feel very relaxed when you are through. I usually go for about 15-minutes, until my toes begin to tingle
I listened to your speech live - Bold, Honest, Factual, Direct and to the Point In stark contrast to the recent comments from the Whitehouse
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
California, the Eastern Sierra. A small town with a big backyard
Maggie is my pup - age 12 now and still enjoying the mountains
Very determined….
Thank You So Much for sharing their story this morning - a great positive to start the week
No more trophy hunting for big beautiful creatures says British Columbia
Thank You - I needed that reminder this morning….
#QuoteOfTheDay #Quotes #Pinks
The President is deeply unpopular. His agenda is stunningly unpopular. The Big Ugly Bill — with its vast cuts to healthcare to fund tax cuts for the rich — is historically unpopular. So Trump leveraged Republicans in Texas to try to gerrymander a majority in the midterms.
#ProudBlue Trump’s ICE detained Kilmar Abrego García this morning—snatching him without cause. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s political terror. Deporting him to Uganda is cruel and unnecessary. Ripping him from his family is next level evil. His family needs him. We must fight for him.
Few charts show our current American weakness like this one. The minute Trump came into office, Putin knew he had the green light to do whatever he wanted and kill as many innocent civilians as he wanted.
