Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
I'll take "The Epstein Files" for $500 Alex.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

The traitor fled the White House, a cowardly escape with Mely in her beach towel dress, 😆 and could not attend Joe Biden’s Inauguration. Good riddance! That was a great day.
I can't believe the country we live in. A felon, fraudulent, pedo, insurrectionist, violent criminal pardoning POTUS has his cult believing he is for law and order.
Excellent job! They can't compete on facts, ever. "Old tired argument" 🙄 #NoJustice bsky.app/profile/chri...
Yeah… per the Fox Faux News chyron: “(the traitor felon’s) crime crackdown” …God forbid J6 is brought up because that’s a day that will live in infamy, the day Drumpf instigated and cheered on his “big, ugly” insurrection! 😡 And, J6 reminds us of the traitor felon’s pardons for all the cop beaters!
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
“…Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are May Day Strong, working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement.”
Can’t join a protest? Here are some alternatives to resist:
“Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Billionaires are stealing from working families, destroying our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities.”
Tomorrow (9/1). Stop the billionaire takeover. More than 1,000 protests nationwide. Find one near you. MayDayStrong.org.
I can’t make his big ball cap white but, OK! His white shirt looks white… 🤔 WEIRD, as usual
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Id heard that Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street firm formerly run by Commerce Secy Lutnick and now run by his sons is one of the big buyers of these refund rights. Turns out it’s already public back in July when they were buying them at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. www.wired.com/story/cantor...
Weirdo’s wearing a too-large (Fidel Castro?) hat… so he doesn’t mess his cotton-candy mess of a ‘do? WEIRD 😬
I’m sure Jake will be right on this story. 😒
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
I believe in due process. Sounds like you know everything. Thx for sharing.
Big Brother BS! 😡
“…This involuntary resignation is the result of SSA’s actions against me, which make my duties impossible to perform legally and ethically, have caused me serious attendant mental, physical, and emotional distress, and constitute a constructive discharge.”
“…Minutes after the email went out, it disappeared from employee inboxes, two SSA sources tell WIRED. “I am regretfully and involuntarily leaving my position at the Social Security Administration (SSA),” Borges wrote in the resignation letter to staff obtained by WIRED.”

colleagues in an email Friday that he was submitting what he called an “involuntary resignation.” He explained that ever since his whistleblower complaint became public, the agency’s actions against him amounted to retaliation that ultimately drove him out of his position.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told

Oh, look, it’s dumb Jake Tapper! Write a better book now, Jake, about the real clear and present demented danger to the country that’s occupying the White House now! 😡
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Our country is being destroyed. But hey, look at these eight Maine Coon kittens.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
What we’re hearing — Mayor Brandon Johnson said Trump's deployment of federal agents to Chicago could begin as early as Friday, Sept. 5. thetriibe.com/2025/08/mayo...

Lies! Evidently, “the best health care” = NO toothbrush for 13 days! Let us call BS!
Local news tells the stories. Not sure why national news skips over them except that they’re too busy referring to our occupation as an “immigration crackdown”.
Not only is Mr. Othmane’s life threatened, but it affects his entire family. Anxiety, depression. And the costs for attorneys to try to obtain freedom. This tears up the fabric holding lives together. Appalling & inhumane. This could happen to any of us.
That's my whole arse problem. This is not good at all!!! I can't deal with this at all. These are crimes are against the people. Wth? Where are we? USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸
If ICE’s $27.7 billion annual budget were entirely redirected to immigration courts: Maximum theoretical hires: 1. 53,269 judges $250,00 2. 159,807 staff $90,000 (1:3 ratio) #BlackoutTheSystem Sept 16-20, 2025 Fascism is not a club you join, it’s a disease that you enable! ~ Defiance13
This is inhumane treatment. “No sleep, snacks only, no toothbrush. I didn’t brush my teeth for 13 days,” he said. “I was worried that I’m going to die.”
He is absolutely right! What gave the ICE goons the right to snatch a green card holder off the street and hold him in detention for 13 days?!
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
More taxpayer dollars wasted on a sterile paving over of the beautiful Rose Garden bwcaue of “fine footwear” by the yelling “builder”-Felon-in-chief who thinks he need to introduce himself to us 🤮
A NeoNazi news bulletin from Opposite World!
And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.

Wonder if the crazy old MAGA coot sleeps in his crazy hat? Mely would not know 😆
Automatons, non-human creatures 😡 Look at the poor frightened man they’re kidnapping! America is in the toilet because of the WH traitor felon conman whom we must rid ourselves of, one MAGA GOP goon in Congress and in every state, one at a time, until BLUE represents us again 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻💙🇺🇸💙

Better late than never, horrible excuse for a Senator, Joni Ernst. You “won’t run for reelection” because you would go down in flames at the ballot box 😡

He is a clone of the felon, a dick tater. The people voted to reinstate abortion & he overturned the will of the people.
“Suspended indefinitely” (bathroom remodel without an end date?) is what we want for the WH traitor felon!
That explains why he is shutting down public access to the White House in September and having his staff choreograph appearances which can't be accessed by the 99% who despise him. tinyurl.com/2p9uyvwb

I found this dude on patrol, he was hiding in someone’s car engine, like my last foundling!
The farmers market was out of strawberries so I brought this girl home instead.
The answer should have been: No, because that would be absurd to carry your birth certificate around and into a restroom with you for the restroom cops to review!
That makes no sense unless the WH felon-in-chief wants to kill many of us 😡
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.
Trump just declared “Overdose Prevention Week.” But behind the scenes, his team is withholding $140 million Congress already set aside to fight fentanyl overdoses. Programs are being forced to pause. Lives are at stake. youtu.be/RFW-OlmAgDE
Well, that is ACTUALLY good to hear! 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻😆
