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)
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.
Good night 💤🌙
Tomorrow, 11:00 AM. Capitol steps, Harrisburg. 201,701 steps. 105 miles. One message: Fund Mass Transit. Bring a friend, a sign, and your voice. Let’s finish strong. #WalkForTransit
something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.

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.
UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Trump announces he will award Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If you are corrupt...a criminal...and just an overall dirt bag....your odds of getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump...skyrocket.
It’s time to have a serious conversation about Trump’s health www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
He's going to be such a good mayor, and most importantly a mayor for all New Yorkers.
Also a plea for all those nationwide who care-- you can phone bank for Mikie from anywhere. It really does make a difference. www.mobilize.us/mikiesherril...
Reminder that we are the second largest per capita state for immigrants in the nation. We have an obligation to protect our fellow New Jerseyans (US born and not) by doing everything we can to ensure she's elected. Volunteer here. www.mobilize.us/mikiesherril...
NEW JERSEY: I know this goes without saying but Mikie Sherrill must win this November. I've been having some conversations with folks not born here recently, and there is rampant fear about what will happen here if she loses. Our work force will be decimated and lives will be lost.
He is deeply unwell (on many fronts).
Read this. (PS. me neither.)
NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US. ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon. Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists. This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/ jackpoulson.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
Same.
the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Next year at Kingfield Porchfest don't miss this house! A musician lives here and they had a food truck🧡
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
Already received 2 pieces of mail to vote against it. I will definitely be voting in favor of it!
"Every one of these people is taking with them skills and knowledge that will be difficult to replace. But there may be no single individual whose departure better captures what is being lost and destroyed than Demetre Daskalakis."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's claim that CBS News edited her interview to hide a criminal's MS-13 gang affiliation is incorrect. The full transcript shows she made the claim. CBS added an editor's note that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been charged with gang-related crimes.
Bless the governors who are coordinating this! 🙏💕🦋
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
Thank you on this labor day!!
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
Curious
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.
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States.
This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Quite the image from a Labor Day rally in Ellsworth. (Hard not to notice that Susan Collins is the only member of Maine's four-member federal delegation not to have posted anything on social media today about Labor Day, the importance of honoring workers etc etc.) tinyurl.com/yb26uc7w #MEpolitics
This flower is called "Queen of the Night." It blossoms only at night once a year.
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
I desperately want to email this to a certain journalist
I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. That’s why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
"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."
My parents just called me to tell me that they finished reading my novel and said that they loved it and are proud of the work I've done, and as an Asian immigrant child, the fact that I got them to say this after having fought for years over my writing career feels like a massive achievement.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Nobody likes an ultra processed food like a wellness grifter telling us the dangers of ultra processed foods. I'm sorry but your protein powder, and vital greens, and whatever the fuck bloom is did not come out of the earth looking like that.
President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than one million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
You guys see where this is going? Right?

The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.
This judge accomplished what no judge prior has been able to get: compliance by the Trump administration in under 24 hours… … if you believe they didn’t lie. And I happen to think this judge has threatened them enough that they wouldn’t risk it. More please.
This was exactly my reaction to this video. If you have enough money to do this, you should be taxed back into the middle class immediately.
There should be a “did too much stupid shit with my money” taxation tier.
This is so good.
“Gaza Riviera” is such a uniquely horrifying phrase, contemplating it is like looking at a death mask for the world.
This isn't about data. It's about the fact that mass resignations at the CDC and public statements by its now-decimated staff show that RFK is a crackpot and he is dragging Trump down. I'm betting RFK Jr. doesn't make it through September-- I guess we'll see.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
A few things worth holding onto: •Rest doesn’t mean weakness—it’s fuel. •Boundaries are not walls—they’re doors you control. •Speaking up about your struggles doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you human. •Asking for help doesn’t erase your strength—it multiplies it.
Good night 🌙
So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.
Her face says, “baby is fine… but what about you??” 🥺 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
NEW: 72 of the 76 Guatemalan children previously boarded onto planes have been returned to ORR custody, per DOJ, with the remaining 4 expected to be returned in the next 15 min. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Tina Turner hits #1 today in 1984 with “What’s Love Got to Do With It” — a song she wasn’t sold on at first. “It was terrible. .. I was rock and roll. This was a pop song.” But her manager, Roger Davies, insisted. When it swept the Grammys, she dedicated the “Record of the Year” award to him.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker

I stopped by our very own South LA Cafe to celebrate Black Business Month this August! 🌟 Not only did their fresh-ground coffee hit the spot—my conversation with Joe about the hustle, impact, and resilience of his Black-owned business left me inspired.

If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
As a retired former DHS U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Supervisory federal officer, my advice to other federal officers is this... "A badge is not a license to dehumanize."
