In honor of Labor Day, @democracynow.org presents Voices of ‘A People’s History of the United States.’
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
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.
Happy Workers’ Labor Day from America’s unions! Today, we celebrate the workers who make America run and make our labor movement unstoppable. We’ll keep fighting so ALL working people get the freedom, fairness and security they need and deserve. Join us: WorkersLaborDay.org
Some Hoosiers are sounding the alarm about what could be a harsh COVID-19 and flu season particularly following a significant change in federal vaccine rules this week. “Many people are going to encounter barriers in getting a COVID shot,” said Indiana Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany.
I would like to go there one of these days. Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to try the place out.
I guess it wasn’t so much they were against government tyranny; so much as they wanted to create their own.
Dear Gun Lovers & NRA Members: Where are you guys now that we finally have that tyrannical government you folks have spent decades warning ⚠️ us about?! Signed, The Rest of America 🇺🇸
Probably because too many in the Indiana State Bar Association have the same values and prejudices as he does. But that’s just me.
Not only is AI coming to take away your job. It’s going to take away your life as well. 😳😱💀
That’s why I put the term in quotes.
Indiana has no shortage of locally owned restaurants that have been open for years. In fact, one of those restaurants was recently named the most historic in Indiana. It just so happens that it celebrates 200 years this year.
Indiana AG Todd Rokita claims “illegal aliens” skewed the California census. Claims the Hoosier State must have a new Census to eliminate illegals from the data.
Pulitzer-winning historian Anne Applebaum is releasing a paperback edition of her book Autocracy Inc., on the autocrats who are eroding democratic freedoms around the world. Her timing is impeccable: she says Donald Trump is moving the United States closer to autocracy.
Our sacrifices.
It’s the protest 🪧 song 🎶 we all need these days. “Join ICE” by Jesse Welles.
They belong to the Church of MAGA. Their true religion is White Supremacy. And Donald Trump is their Prophet.
Donald Trump & Robert Kennedy Jr. want to kill you. Full stop.
And we were told it was the “libtards” who were snowflakes. ❄️ 🤭😂🤣😂😉
Who exactly was Jeffery Epstein anyway?
Mic drop! 🎤
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
It’s called “journalism.” Anything less is simply public relations.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said his administration has saved $37 million this year through renegotiated state contracts and more efficient vehicle expenses.
November 2026 is not too far away, folks.
Hoosier utility regulators “impermissibly applied” Indiana law retroactively when they let Duke Energy raise customer rates to recover coal ash compliance costs, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
Irony is dead in Trump’s America.
The Hoosier State deploys National Guard troops to support ICE!
José Evans, a fmr. GOP Indianapolis city-county councilor, resigned Aug. 22 after 5 months on the job. 2 former employees & contractors of the agency spoke during a public commission meeting in May about the work environment under Evans filled with "aggressive behavior," a "climate of intimidation."
Majority of Hoosiers say “NO!” to mid-Decade redistricting.
Hoosiers see higher gasoline ⛽️ prices due to Labor Day travel coming up.
Clark Co. IN syringe exchange program set to be eliminated due to Federal budget cuts.
Trump to send National Guard troops to the Hoosier State and 18 other states!
Why are MAGA targeting the Federal Workers? To create a strawman for you to hate.
AM Radio 📻 and the Right Wing Noise Machine trained them well.
😳😱🤯🤕
Local builders told Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith in Bloomington Thursday that too many costly regulations in the Hoosier State inhibit the construction of homes in the state and inflate the housing affordability crisis.
👏👏👏👏👏
So let me get this straight. A convicted sexual predator of young girls who’s seeking a Pardon from Trump says that Trump is not on the Epstein List. Got it! 🙄🫤🙂↔️😣
This is what tyranny looks like, folks! This is what a tyrant does. So where are the people on the far right who’s been warning us for decades about “the tyrannical government“?! Huh!! Where are you now?! Cheering 📣 them on. It was never about “freedom.” Was it.
Just in case you forgot…
Honestly, we’re better off renting. Because ultimately, the state owns all properties in this country. Property “owners” just rent from the state.
Jeffersonvile (IN) Police Chief resigns! He said city has been struggling to implement IN's new SB 1, which capped how much property tax bills can go up in the future. However, it also meant a large cut in revenue for local government services and schools who rely, in some part, on property taxes.
…or Winter when it’s not as hot as the Summer. 😂🤣😂😉

Dear Evangelical Christians: This your guy?!
Doesn’t this guy have his own private jet? 🛩️ Or maybe he could get him a Limousine to take him to the Capital? Why a government-owned Helicopter? 🚁 It makes no sense!
Fmr. IN State Police Superintendent Doug Carter believes someone close to the governor moved to block an investigation into a GOP ally. IN Board of Accounts found evidence which suggested Sheriff Tom Kleinhelter misused funds to purchase airline tickets for himself & his wife & grills for employees.
In his first 6 months as Indiana Governor, Mike Braun flew 11 times on a helicopter 🚁 between his Governor’s Mansion to the State Capitol building.
Several Republican lawmakers have already come out against such a special session, including Becky Cash (R-District 25), Jim Lucas (R-District 69) and Danny Lopez (R-District 39). www.wthr.com/article/news...
The Citizens Action Coalition, a consumer advocacy organization, studied data from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission and determined that from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025, most Hoosiers watched helplessly as their electric bill jumped up nearly 17.5%, or $30 a month.
A) I’m sure that the Timber Industry is giving the Governor plenty of cutbacks, to start with. B) Plenty of opportunities for development once those acres are cleared. C) Like Deep Throat told Bob Woodward: “Follow the Money.”
Tacky. He thinks he’s doing Louie XIV Baroque. Actually, it’s closer to Liberace’s Bathroom.
Oh, it was Trump. It’s always Trump.
Now Trump wants to eliminate mail-in ballots too?! I don’t think 🤔 it’s going to work out for them the way he thinks (as if he can think).
Sorry, Donny.
🤭😂🤣😂😉
All that depends on Gov. Braun. Unless he is finally willing to do the people’s will, and not just Trump and Braun’s donors, he’ll just bend over backwards and deny he ever said anything bad about the project. Personally, it’s not promising that he’ll do anything at all to protect our forests. 🌳
The U.S. Forest Service kicked off timber sales in the Hoosier National Forest despite resistance from advocacy groups & IN Gov. Mike Braun, who called the project (which includes prescribed burns on 13.5k acres of forest & permitting timber harvests on 4,300 acres for 10-15 years) “misguided.”
Indiana this is not over! It’s up to all of us to continue to make these phone calls now!!!
Even if it’s a “glancing blow,” it’s supposed to be Cat. 5 when it does so. The outermost edge of a Cat. 4 hurricane 🌀 alone can do serious damage by itself. My family and I survived a Cat. 4 (Charley) while we were living in Port Charlotte, FL. Plus, what if the path is deeper than predicted?!
Me neither. 😠😡🤬😤
It’s only “socialism” when the working and middle classes get theirs. It’s “capitalism” and “free enterprise” when the oligarchs get our tax money.
…and plus, they’ll just appeal you and your attorney to death.
They make money 💰 on the way up and they make money 💵 on the way down.
And here’s the irony. A lot of rural, ruby Red voters 🗳️ rely on mail-in voting (especially the elderly and disabled). If Red states remove the mail-in ballots, this might not work out to the advantage of Republicans like Trump’s thinking.
Remember. N@ź¡ concentration camps made $$$ off their poor victims too. Soviet gulags did the same (just as their Russian counterparts do now).
You’re probably right.
And the saddest part of all that? He’s dealing with a man who almost NEVER, EVER pays his debts! So what assurances does Gov. Braun have that the state will fully recoup the cost?!
I guess someone forgot to tell President Putin about Trump’s stinky rump. 🤫
Gee, President Putin. What’s that smell?! 😣😖🤮😵💫😵
You know what? I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that Q-Anon was actually a Psy-Op campaign coordinated by the Israeli Intelligence Service. I could be dead wrong, mind you. But I wouldn’t be shocked 🫢 if it turns out to be true. Just saying.
The billionaires and the GOP are pointing to the people they want you to blame with one hand ✋ while they’re robbing you blind with the other 🤚.
Yeah. We all know how Trump pays his own bills.
It’s so sad what’s happening to the journalism and print trade.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said the Federal government will reimburse the Hoosier State for all the necessary expenses in housing immigrant detainees at the state’s facilities. Translation: We the taxpayers will be paying for this!
You’re right!
Or maybe gather them together and get some good laptops 👨💻 and digital cameras 📸 and make a E-paper or E-zine. Reduce the cost of publishing physical materials and adjust for 21st century Internet 🛜 users. If only I had the time and the wherewithal to do that. But hey! I’m doing Meanwhile in Indiana!
