The state of America: Cyndi Lauper changes the lyrics to Girls Just Want to Have Fun to Girls Just Want Fundamental Rights.....
72 years old; pro-democracy. I hate Nazis and fascists: they desecrate everything/everybody they touch. Fighting so my daughter and every young person can have decent lives. Putin is an existential threat. We need a new New Deal or else we're done.

The state of America: Cyndi Lauper changes the lyrics to Girls Just Want to Have Fun to Girls Just Want Fundamental Rights.....
So Texas is going to invade Illinois
While maga celebrates the 30,000 jobs from the US Space Command HQ to Alabama what do you say to those in Colorado who are now unemployed.
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
There is only one reason Space Command is being moved from Colorado to Alabama: Donald Trump is a petty tyrant who doesn't care about Americans who didn't vote for him.
This is not ok, America. @anntelnaes.bsky.social
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
What food from your city would you throw at a federal officer?
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
This is the most important news of the day. Sending Texas guardsmen to Illinois is an intentional, unprecedented provocation. It should be immediately challenged in court. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news and updates on this developing story. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
When President Trump used 32 U.S.C. § 502(f)(2) in 2020, that was to have out-of-state National Guard troops sent to D.C.—which has no sovereignty of its own. Sending the un-federalized TX National Guard into IL without the latter’s consent raises *serious* Article IV problems that 2020 … didn’t.
Looks like Kristi Noem’s de facto Chief of Staff thinks he’s lined up the kind of “judges” that they want.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Many people are saying that Grab-Ass Grandpa’s announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today is a distraction from Wednesday’s press conference with 10 of Epstein’s victims. Well, duh. Thank you for your inattention on this matter.
The most Trump thing ever would be to show up in the Oval Office today with his pale, slack face painted bright orange, deny any health issues and gaslight the country about his extended absence, and announce the military occupation of yet another Democratic stronghold. We’ll see, I guess.
I speculated last night that Trump might be announcing today that he is going to send the military into Chicago, and his Truth Social account is posting rants about Chicago this morning:

Pretty damn good campaign launch video from Paige Cognetti.
2025 MAGA men are absolutely deplorable. This pile of white male predators are the new GOP. Child rape is their hobby, overthrowing democracy is the end goal. Because Anarchy is wonderful for their business: child rape. What will September bring?

HOLY CRAP!!! I’m coming home from the gym in The Villages and I drive by this Labor Day protest. IN THE VILLAGES!!! 👊🏼👊🏼
This Labor Day is one for the history books!!! 💥💥💥
He’s going to either try to discredit the Epstein survivors, deploy troops into Chicago, or go to war with Venezuela. Or all three.

If you think the bruises on Donald's hands are bad from last week, you should see his knees from Alaska.

OTD in 2014 I said I could conquer Kiev in 2 weeks. I can’t conquer Donbass in 4 years or Kursk in over a year. But I never actually said which 2 weeks. I remain a master strategist.
What will Donald announce today? A. "Russia has just two weeks" B. His successful defection C. A successful defecation D. His recent death E. A new crypto scam
Curious
Bless the governors who are coordinating this! 🙏💕🦋

The highlight of my #BostonLaborDayParade was chatting with a curious 8-year-old. “We are celebrating people who work together! And Democratic Socialists like that because we don’t think we should build big piles of gold like a dragon when we can all eat like hobbits instead.” Happy Labor Day!

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Half of all US workers have nothing saved in the back heading into retirement. 20% of seniors live on $15k a year. 50% of seniors live on $30k or less. Elon Musk hoards as much wealth as the bottom 50% of America combined!
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.
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.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

An 11-year-old boy who was shot while playing the “ding dong ditch” prank in Houston on Saturday night has died, the authorities said.
Even in this age of police bodycams and bystander videos, there are certain categories of footage that most media organizations won’t share with the public. But it’s hard to imagine today’s media suppressing, as they did in 1937, footage from the anti-labor crackdown that resulted in 10 deaths.

This is a series about jerks, blowhards, racists, creeps, narcs, petty tyrants, tenured incompetents, passive–aggressive underminers, Taylorist fussbudgets, Pinkertonish snoops, pious liberal union-killers, and sneering capitalist dickheads, which is to say it is a series about bosses. From 2021:

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
This is terrifying.
