What an example of true leadership!! A good leader develops others. Handing the torch to the next generation.
🚨NYC never misses a beat! Today is no different.
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!

Thank you on this labor day!!
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.

I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…

As medical experts, doctors, and scientists are sounding the alarm and begging Trump to fire RFK Jr., who is actively committing to killing Americans, I invited Dr. Patel to explain the damage done and how we can save ourselves and our families. thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-you-ca...
I fundamentally don’t think the US genuinely reverses its tailspin unless we dramatically change the media ecosystem. A vast swath of our fellow citizens’ brains are just being poisoned all day every day in a way that is impossible to address without the root cause.
Literally.

@meidastouch.com will stream the epstein victims’ speeches on September 3rd in front of Congress. This is not just a usa issue, russian banks were involved along with figureheads of other countries (👀🇬🇧). Please tune in if you can. 10 survivors will be speaking.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities

For some reason I was just thinking about Bush v. Gore. First time in my life the Supreme Court let a candidate steal an election.

It’s the Fox “news“ & right wing media bubble. They’re willfully & woefully misinformed. Racism is one hell of a drug.

Been doing some reading on Peter Thiel, the thinkers he likes to invoke, his origins in South Africa, and the Christian School he attended there. I think it might be reasonable to start calling him Peter T-Heil
Rs, before the Trump cult took hold, frequently railed (rightly so) against communist and fascist regimes that nationalized industry, indulged in crony capitalism, and substituted propaganda for free speech. (The five-year plan is working!) How times have changed. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
He 💯 did not say or write that post.

Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Dead or alive, Rudy Giuliani brought “broken windows” policing to NYC. “Not only did broken windows policing fail to reduce crime, but it also provided cover for a deliberate targeting of Black and brown communities.” Why? The theory comes from rightwing think tankers

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Who made these signs? They should be in every city in America ✊🏼 #arresttrump #notofascism
NEW: "Long the envy of the world…the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows….The agency has since January shed literally centuries' worth of collective experience through a combination of firings, retirements, and resignations."
Not white enough?

DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Folks. Please read this. It’s just one page of simple declarations from a 10 year kid from Guatemala who doesn’t want to be sent back there. The US government is trying to do so, on a holiday weekend, and was going to just *do it* until folks started pushing back. 10. Years. Old. WTAFF?
OMG this admin is beyond horrible to do this to children. They’re monsters. Evil to the core.
When she's done reading select quotes from the plaintiff's declarations, Judge Sooknanan sums it up as follows: "And so this doesn't quite line up with what I'm hearing from the government.
“Working longer hours for less pay is the equation for enriching the 1%, and it’s been amazingly successful,” Peter Werbe writes. “For them. Not so much for us, though.” Here are Werbe’s ideas for more U.S. holidays.

They will never understand that treating workers with respect and appreciation goes a long way in those same workers putting their all into their jobs. Being cruel and hurtful feeds the empty souls of those in charge.

U.S. politicians' responses to mass shootings are "always performative," says @cameronkasky.bsky.social. "This administration... is so defined by tragedy, cruelty, and violence that something like children being shot dead while they are praying is not going to be a topic next week."
They're both lying to you.
Disabled people: RFK Jr. is a dangerous eugenicist who wants people to die. Nondisabled people: DP: Here are examples of his eugenicist policy. NP:... DP: He actually wrote all this out in a book years ago. NP: Hey why can't I get a Covid shot??
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
ICE procurement activity since August 22, totaling ~$19M. Companies highlighted in yellow are new to the "Who's Profiting from ICE?" map, available here: bit.ly/3TgUZEq Source: USAspending.gov
If you played me this clip of a Georgia congressman named "Buddy Carter" talking with this accent, I would've called you a hack filmmaker.
Where did I put my time machine? I need to go back to middle school and read this back to myself about 1000 times.
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.
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.
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."
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
I know there’s a lot going on but in June ICE took custody of a U.S.-born citizen in Chicago, Illinois and handed him over to a private contractor, which confined him in a hotel without a phone or other form of communication for five days. The city and state aren’t ready for what’s coming next.
Big thanks to comedian D.L. Hughley for sharing our videos—our campaign truly appreciates the support. Would love the chance to join your podcast, we are fighting together. In solidarity, wishing you a great weekend! #DLHughley #CD32 #ChrisAhuja #AhujaCongress2026 #Ahuja
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Stop calling it "age verification." It's an ID check for everyone of every age. Government-mandated databases of your name, address, date of birth, and face (held by private companies with questionable security) is a privacy nightmare.
Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.
Dead, alive, hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
The very rich Peter Thiel is behind a lot of the destruction of pur democracy going on right now, and he thinks the rest of us little people are just in his way.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
He was just the last of a series of bad decisions. Garland terribly misjudged & tragically miscalculated the situation. It was the last nail in the coffin of America’s democracy
They’re totally going to do this.
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."
