Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
🚨 Trump is the biggest union-buster in US history 🚨 In March, Trump stripped union protections from more than 1M federal workers. Last week, leading up to Labor Day, Trump expanded his order to additional federal agencies. Learn more about Trump's attacks on workers: www.epi.org/blog/trump-i...
Teachers are reportedly spending an average of $895 out-of-pocket on school supplies — a nearly 50% increase since 2015. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve? https://youtu.be/AbBbhoHRPSU?feature=shared
In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?feature=shared
A clear view of of how we became an oligarchy & what must be done to correct it. The latter are all the things the repuglicants rally against. When the smallest of us are ignored or hated, the chasam between all grows. Reject fascism! Revolution is now or never! 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍🩸💙
“Frayed collar workers in gold plated times.” 30 years ago I issued a stark warning about the health of America’s working class. Watch and tell me what you think. https://youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw?feature=shared
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
using “increased quality of life” calls to the police as a justification for this anti-homeless ordinance is so infuriating. I imagine homeless folks might have some quality of life complaints of their own if we’re going there!
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
😂😂😂‼️ I'm. With. Him. @governor.ca.gov ⬇️
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Let’s go live to the Oval Office….
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.
It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
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!

Jeff cannot change. It's who and what he is. Once an asshole, always an asshole.
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
This is NOT about the safety of US Citizens, it's about CONTROL! Arm yourself. #Resist
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Fuck space force, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES!?
As Trump manages to bring India, Russia, and China together, in a generational diplomatic failure, remember: Part of this mess is the result of Trump leaning on Modi to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Tuesday's Canadian Thoughts🤔 #cdnpoli🍁
Now THIS is interesting. Especially that last bit about Melania making an unscheduled visit to “tour” Walter Reed….
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

In wrestling terms, this wsj poll finds the American Dream dead and long live the American Nightmare: "Nearly 70% of people said they believe the American dream—that if you work hard, you will get ahead—no longer holds true or never did, the highest level in nearly 15 years of surveys.”
“I’m the problem, it’s me.”
@wired.com sat down with @theonion.com ‘s CEO, @bencollins.bsky.social and what struck me in this was at one point they both talk about how they’re the few remaining that are still covering what’s happening. A tech magazine and a satire site. Neither anticipated how easily media would fold. /
Damn, I thought he would be announcing that his death was stolen from him & he would be looking Into who did it. 86/47 Reject fascism! Revolution is now or never! 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍🩸💙
Congress is back — and a laundry list of thorny issues threatens to complicate the funding fight.
Has the rest of the internet already seen this? Am I late to the party? This is the best laugh I’ve had in a long, long time. Pure unadulterated hysterical joy. 😂 youtu.be/o589CAu73UM
America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive
Why aren't Democrats SCREAMING about the crime rates in RED STATES??? Gavin Newsom opened the door on this last week and NOT ONE DEM HAS WALKED THROUGHT IT!

KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
As we begin September, Democracy Docket is tracking 139 voting and election cases is 40 states. 13 in Georgia 13 in North Carolina 10 in Texas 9 in Arizona 8 in Pennsylvania 8 in Wisconsin Democracy is on the docket! www.democracydocket.com
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
honestly my money’s on announcing the invasion of Chicago everyone knows is coming, and they’re just doing it this way to guarantee eyes and quell the health rumors. pretty sure the options only go down hill from there
And I share it!
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

Met this beautiful mantis today. A living testament to the exquisite creativity of the natural world. It let me get close, and the two of us observed one another. It was another aspect of the universe that had a spark of consciousness, and that spark of consciousness was looking at me.
A good time to reup this "Peanuts" strip from January 7, 1967, back when there was ample living memory of how terrible measles was and why we should want to eradicate it.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
The new SNAP cuts from Trump's tax law are a slap in the face to working Americans! Millions of disabled people, elderly, single mothers, and poor families with children are about to lose a vital lifeline, with some families losing up to $231 a month.

Last weekend, I retraced the steps of two of the most important moments in American (and Chicago) labor history, starting with the Haymarket Massacre. But the Haymarket Massacre wasn’t just a tragedy. It still provides a compass for us to fight against fascism today:
Kristi Neom's "facts" are as authentic as her lips and hair extensions.
Stop teasing us. Croak already.
Maybe members of the President’s cabinet should have yearly terms and yearly Senate renomination hearings instead of one-and-done. (Or maybe the Senate should do its dang job the first time.)

Chile is one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ to reside. They have some of the worlds strongest anti discrimination laws. Green Day plays Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen right before they hit the stage. Here are 50,000 Chileans losing their shit this past weekend. #HumanRights #Chile #MusicSky
We are so messed up that I just saw some Disney mom post “Bye ugly woke castle” about Disney repainting. Because fake fairytale castles are woke if they’re pink? Um, it’s a fairy princess castle, for starters. Like what you wanted it to be less joyful and girly?

My mom worked hard as a phlebotomist. She always wished she could have joined a union and bargained for the rights and wages she deserved. I know how important unions are to Minnesota's working families. That's why I'm proud to be labor-endorsed.

By far my favorite part of January 6.
What if they start saying he's not coming out to talk to the press anymore because 'we don't deserve it'? What if they never say he dies but keep making orders in his name? Has anyone read the last of the Chronicles of Narnia books? This is that, but without Puzzle the donkey.
IMO there should be fines. We need our governments etc to put the hammer down. And not just for grocers who lie. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
can everyone please stop joking about terrible people's deaths, it's funny but I can't take getting my hopes up about ANYTHING these days
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
"Christianity" is nothing more than organized hatred & bigotry, as are all religions, given authority by whatever book of bigotry their religion endorses. There is no supreme being, no afterlife, no telepathic communication. Reality may be inconvenient but it isn't magic. 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍🩸💙
again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.
