Dump’s Pardons of January 6th Insurrectionists are Null & Void, as the President is not granted the Power to Pardon People in cases of Treason Appoint me to the Supreme Court, as I clearly know more about the Intent behind the Constitution than the Old Fart Traitors current serving #SAD
An 83-year-old relative sent this to me today and said he’s so inspired by Starbucks workers and their fight for a contract that he sent this to his friends and asked them to share it with everyone they know. 🥹
now try to unsee it
Denver, CO showing out! 9/1/25
Thaaaat's the bathroom off the Lincoln Bedroom. WTF? Who is throwing what out the window of the White House?!

National Nurses United Called For Firing Or Resignation Of RFK Jr "RFK Jr's tenure at HHS has been one disaster after another, dangerously eroding public trust in the institutions critical for the health and safety of all Americans. Time for him to go.” www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nation...
Everything changed November 2024. Words are no longer good enough, only action. Put yourself between ICE and anyone.

🚨👇😲 What the Orange Idiot has done to America. You all need to watch this!
I've been gobsmacked at food prices. We need to talk about them more – about how folks are getting squeezed from every angle with no relief in sight. That's why it's so important to have regular folks with regular experiences in these races.
Lock him up!
I just find it weird that so many people are fine with Abbott gerrymandering Texas but they are all totally against Gavin doing the exact same thing in California. I mean, could you be any more transparent about your willingness to cheat to win? #USDemocracy
Russia is a terrorist state, and that's the team Trump wants to play on.
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
What a shithole 3rd world country we've become. Instead of concentrating on searching for possible school mass murderers in our midst, we're spending $500,000,000.00 on a ballroom for the entitled rich. =====================
i'm a california girl through and through but this guy makes me wanna move to nyc just so i can vote for him
I have no idea one way or the other, but if the president was gravely ill & dying, this is exactly how it would play out. Any president, not just him. We wouldn’t want hostile foreign powers to know we were vulnerable. Especially when the leaders of said hostile foreign powers are all together.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
#USDemocracy NEW: Veterans have been BLASTING a speech from General Milley for over TEN HOURS to the National Guard: “We don’t take an oath to a king, queen, tyrant, or wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution – America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.” 🇺🇸💪
Private institutions are profiting from ICE detention centers just like they do prisons. States that align their police departments with ICE benefit from financial kickbacks; it’s a business model built to generate revenue. 👇🏾

journalists are being threatened and jailed. media outlets are paying settlements to THE PRESIDENT. but gosh golly gee, is democracy under threat? who can really say!
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
It’s not “if we go to war with Russia” it is “when we go to war with Russia.”
This does not make America great.
Seriously! Way better Journalist 💥
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
BREAKING: Tens of thousands of Americans are taking to the streets from coast to coast to take part in the 'Workers over Billionaires' protest, hoping to remind Americans of the power of the working class at a time when billionaires are playing an outside role in national politics. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.

Americans turned out across the United States on Monday for more than 1,000 demonstrations against Trump and other oligarchs "to reclaim worker power against billionaires who hoard unprecedented wealth and power." www.commondreams.org/news/workers...
ICE had a JOB FAIR in Texas and protesters were the only people that showed up. 💪🏼
Good to hear 👍

This Labor Day is one for the history books!!! 💥💥💥
All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.
BREAKING: Tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets nationwide to take part in the 'Workers over Billionaires' protest, reminding Americans of the power of the working class at a time when billionaires are playing an outside role in national politics. Happy Labor Day/Protest Day to All!

Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.

Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
The lack of ego Rep. Nadler is showing is a perfect example of putting service before self. This deserves so many props and respect. Thank you, @nadler.house.gov.
It's easy to keep a straight face when your face has more plastic than a landfill.

Now THIS is interesting. Especially that last bit about Melania making an unscheduled visit to “tour” Walter Reed….
Again, people complaining about "Dems not doing anything" and Dems keep doing things. Well done, @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social! You are appreciated!!!
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?

Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
Robert Kennedy jr. needs to go. His quackery is lethal and it’s spreading, causing deaths across the world. He doesn’t have a medical degree, his policies have no relation with science. We won’t be prepared when new viruses attack us. He needs to GO! Call & write your Congresspersons and Senators.
Holy smokes This is the crowd at the Bernie Sanders/Graham Platner Fighting Oligarchy event in Portland, ME tonight Platner is the oyster farmer challenging Susan Collins; Senate seat👇 Overwhelming turnout! I feel like maybe Susan's number is finally up ..

Mom worked for the phone company through NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, & Verizon and went on strike for all three. I rollerskated the picket line with her at 8 y/o for the big ‘89 strike. We got food pantry things to get through it. Her union is why she died with good insurance.
Labor Day in Nevada County! Powerful message 💙

Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Mississippi is having a 2nd ammendment gun sale weekend?!?!? You get a whole 7% off your gun purchase🙄😵💫😳 But a gun shop can offer 20% off & people will wait for the tax break of 7% off😏🫣🙄🤭 Bible belt of stupidity(pawn shop commercial just a FYI)...
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
They wouldn’t be laughing if Harris was President.
Just for the record, Giuliani was always a POS. Horrible mayor, horrible, mobbed-up scumbug. Also, he disrespects the Oxford comma.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Everyone knew RFK Jr. would be a disaster, he hasn’t disappointed.., Every American should be alarmed at what’s happening to the nation’s public health system under HHS Secretary RFK Jr., 9 former leaders of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention are warning. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
