Speak for yourself. Any number of us realized the moment it happened that our entire constitutional system had been destroyed when that accursed decision was issued! It, alone, justifies the immediate machine-gunning of the Extreme Six!

Of course they are! That’s the entire purpose of conspiracy theories! And why Putin and Moscow manufacture so many and push them so hard! They love the chaos and destruction they cause!

Meanwhile, we were treated to a long article in the NYTimes today about the opulence of life in Moscow this summer, while Kyiv burns every night. Can’t Ukraine see to it that Muscovites have a harder time? Cut off power to the Metro? Blow out all the windows in Moscow City? Bomb the rich suburbs?

Explosions rocked Kropotkin in Russia’s Krasnodar region as a UAV strike ignited a fire at a power substation, leaving parts of the city without electricity. Meanwhile, drone threats were also reported over Yelabuga, with locals hearing blasts.

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.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.

Oathbreaking should be a specific crime, and penalties should be very high, both for deterrence and for punishment! As a former fed I had to take the oath numerous times during my career and it was always an inspiring, solemn moment to be making such a commitment of service and loyalty.

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.
