This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
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

Utah Rep. Trevor Lee (R-Dunning-Kruger) attempting to be clever with a hackneyed “childless cat lady” post. Who are “they”? Are “they” in the room with us right now?
Read someone calling him Vladimir Futon today.
The Tribune learned the BYU police were taking privileged information from Utah police agencies and feeding it to the LDS church via BYU’s Honor Code Office.
Until 2019, the BYU police department, with statewide jurisdiction, had been operating as a private police department for the LDS church completely outside the visibility of the states open records laws.

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,”

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Karen McDonald @karenmcdonaldmi.bsky.social "Strong labor unions = strong democracy. This Labor Day, I’m honoring all those who keep our democracy strong by standing together. That’s what unions do. And that’s why I’ll always stand with them. Happy Labor Day!"
I’m consulting with a nonprofit on e-bike safety and this hit home. We’re desperate to prevent tragedies before they happen.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Hey I’ve played golf my whole life, never have gotten very good at it. Time suck that it is. But WTF grip is Gruden supposed to be using there? Is that the misogynistic racist prick mother fucker special? Or AI fart?
Point being, of course, that why the fuck are we wasting one moment talking about 2028 before 2026, or even November 2025?
My hot take on Gavin Newsom is there’s over 30 special elections coming up THIS year alone. secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton
I have been saying this for something like 15 years and I am so tired, folks: the tactics. Of the right. Don't work. For the left. Because their politics are divisive and anti-community. Ours aren't. They win when politics is toxic and vicious. We win by building solidarity.

We had moved to a ski town, and I was a bartender. The barter system was alive and well. We were broke, but we always had something to eat and drink! Take care of each other, whenever we can.
lol When my brother and I moved west, we had a friend in’87 that opened a Subway franchise in Chicago. He gave us a stack of old Subway Club punch cards fully stamped. There was one subway in the town we moved to, and they were like “damn, you guys sure did eat some Subway back at home”.
Starts with just a sandwich, next thing you know, you’re throwing a super sized combo. Just wait.

A lot of badassery is innate. Some of it is from the badasses that came before us. You have both.
@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social can I have a beer with your Grandpa?
Another observation from my 101-year-old grandfather, since he's tickled pink that people enjoy his points of view. He says he listened to Father Coughlin's radio show back in his youth and that nothing reminds him of that infamous antisemite and bigot as Tucker Carlson's commentary today.
Federal agents deployed tear gas during an immigration operation in the Westlake District on Thursday morning, witnesses tell CBS News Los Angeles.
It is of course extremely important to put front and center that Robert E. Lee was literally a traitor and he was a traitor on behalf of the institution of slavery which he strongly supported. But in the battles we have over public memory - which is what the statues and portraits and base names ...
"You got a promotion? Worked hard and are earning more money now? Congrats! Your power bill just somehow doubled and grocery prices are rising higher than your blood pressure. Tough luck, peasant. You should have sucked a rancid sugar daddy dick like our esteemed Press Secretary"

When 16-year-old Adam Raine wanted to leave his noose visible so someone might stop him, ChatGPT said don't. When Stein-Erik Soelberg thought his mother was poisoning him, ChatGPT agreed. OpenAI calls these tragedies. They're choices. www.readtpa.com/p/chatgpt-wi...
My statement on the limited Epstein files release and continued White House cover-up:

Listen to @kendallyb.bsky.social she's talking about how a 10 year old took a shot gun blast to the back to protect his friend! She says we now expect more from CHILDREN to protect the selfs then we expect the people we elect to office! Common sense gun laws work all over the world.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

"end run around Congress' funding power" is quite the euphemism for "blatantly unconstitutional."
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
🚨 While kids in MN were gunned down at school, Rep. John James starred in a gun-fetish video with right-wing tabloid Michigan Enjoyer. Spraying bullets & “joking” that K-12 kids need weapons training. Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America—and James thinks it’s funny. No wonder they deleted it. 👇
The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

A reminder that Rep. Derrick Van Orden celebrated voting to rip away access to health care, school meals, and food assistance from his own constituents. He might do cartwheels in the street after he finds out how much his vote cost the state. #WI03

When you understand that everything is *zero sum* to them, their actions & end game make sense Zero sum means you can't win unless someone else loses. No concept of win/win. You can't enjoy success unless someone else fails They see no point in Heaven, unless others are condemned to Hell 1/x
Reminder that they won't stop because they won, they will keep going until everyone else has lost
It was the 70’s when I attended my first baseball, basketball, football and soccer professional games. Saw Payton, the Fridge, Jordan, Sandberg and Maddox in the 80’s. Now if I go, it’s because I was able to get a free ticket. Then, I don’t feel so bad spending $20 on one Modelo.
