Thank you to #unions for everything they've brought us. On this #LaborDay let's make unions strong again! Workers unite! Billionaires divide!
I am a mom who proudly tells dad jokes. I grow plants, read books, and know things. Non-militant vegan. Oh yeah, and I curse. My kids are grown, so I don't care. The older I get, the further left I go. Never give up! Never surrender!

"We don’t have fantasy world industrial policy but the actually existing position of Donald Trump dictating the economy from on high, devoid of any strategy outside of the two inches between Trump’s face and whatever CEO is sitting in the Oval Office."
I just said to my son that I am extremely happy. In my own world. It's the rest of the shit that is shit. I read the news today, oh boy.
I already know who won't believe this and will think the lying liberals are creating another hoax.
Even the Air Force Times thinks this is ridiculous.
Tonight, American Experience on PBS will show My Lai: The tragedy, the cover-up, the aftermath. Check your local listings and remember to support your local PBS station.

There are still good things happening.
Woo hoo! We're back to the 1890s!
Dems need to fight Trump harder, says Erik Ham, AP WH correspondent, Anchor @firstpost.bsky.social, and CTV NEWS Columnist/Analyst. "You can no longer just continue to react to what he's ding. There's gotta be an offensive play." Clips by @chattjazz.bsky.social www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...
Authoritarian much? Loyalty ratings for countries and for companies. Next is for citizens and I will not bend my knee.
Yup, that's pretty much what happened. Thanks for watching so we don't have to. @letsdiscusssome.bsky.social
I am a champ at repurposing!
Well, it sure beats empty cherry tomato containers.
And I love cherries. The upshot of this is no money for the farmer, fewer crops for consumers, and higher prices everywhere.
9 August 1910 | A Hungarian Jewish woman, Francesca Molnár, was born. In June 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.
"...evidence is emerging that (businesses) are running out of options to keep prices stable in the face of deteriorating profit margins, suggesting that the tariffs could have a more pronounced effect on prices in the months ahead.”
How do they continue to fail at recognizing actual antisemitism?
This whole thing is a tragedy.
It's time when they go low, we meet them in the depths. It's about saving our democracy.
What a maroon.
Name something tougher than the orange wiffle ball? Wet, one ply, toilet paper.
While the administration shuts down rural hospitals and reduces VA funding, let's move more medical services for our veterans to privatized care. Makes sense, right? /s Money It's a crime Share it fairly But don't take a slice of my pie
It looks seriously yum.
Next up, Maria Bartiroma as the new head of BLS.
Once again, Colin Robinson, the energy sucking vampire, steps in to obfuscate himself into oblivion. It's too bad he can go out in daylight.
Looks delicious and perfect for a summer supper. I use plenty of Minimalist Baker recipes and I've loved every one. Did you dip the tempeh into the beans? My mouth is watering.
This is absolutely ridiculous. A free land lease for a company owned by the richest man in the world? This whole project was greenlighted by the governor before Nashville even had input. Money spent for a project size never completed before by Musk's company. Nothing to see here 🙈
The US has so many horrible things in its past and so many disgusting things in its present. To move forward we have to acknowledge all that has happened and all that is currently happening. I hope we can do it.
Let's add an amendment push that convicted felon cannot hold ANY elected or appointed office.
Financed by Leonard Leo, the petitions to get this on the ballot were available at polling places last November. People were approached asking if a question to require voter ID should be on the ballot and 171k+ people signed it. They weren't told about the other voter restrictions were included.
It's a bargain at twice the price. I've been a member for years.

This is beyond ethnic cleansing. They tried that. This is genocide: mass murder by bombs and starvation.
1. Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel want everyone to think the so-called Steele Dossier was a major source for the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. No, it wasn’t — an assessment of the “dossier” was included as an annex, which they haven’t released. Why?
I think they bent the knee enough?
A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from ending birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the U.S. illegally, issuing the third court ruling blocking the birthright order nationwide since a key Supreme Court decision in June.
PBS is in danger of going away. How can you help us and your local station? Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org and urge Congress to protect PBS funding. And thanks to everyone who followed before our first skeet. We see you!
Sighting a cybertruck makes the whole day spiral down. Hoping you can recover what's left. 💟
#AlaskaSky Great resource for donating to your local radio stations
Spurious televangelist Pastor Mike has sent Congress home early to make it easier to forget The Epstein Problem. Sorry Mike. No can do.
Oh well.
Is it just me, or does Kevin Hassett remind you of Colin Robinson? It's not just in the looks department, either. He's got the same boring, yet definitely evil, vibe. Colin sucks your energy and Kevin generally sucks.
How Americans are going to start dealing with ICE if this shit keeps up:
The absolute irony.
Maine has been fighting the effects of sludge use for decades. What was once seen as something good has been found to be absolute poison. Sort of like DDT, opioids, lead paint, asbestos...
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
But CaPiTaLiSm!
"weather modification taxing districts"?
2025 has so far been the longest decade of my life.
I took my annual cognitive exam and aced it! The doctor said she had never seen anyone do as well as I did. She was amazed. I am now qualified to run for president. Vote for me. I don't like catsup.
Per CPJ, ICE has detained an Emmy award-winning Spanish-language journalist who was livestreaming a recent protest near Atlanta. He has been detained for weeks and now faces potential deportation, per CPJ.
#flowersonFriday My father always told me, "After I'm gone, don't put flowers on my grave because I won't be there. Buy them for your home, and remember me... I do it every week.

Let's talk about tfg's Big Fat Bloated Bill.
This is absolutely dastardly. People believed him and here we are. “I figured we was good. I figured they was looking for criminals – like Trump said. I figured that they would run his name, see that he's not a criminal and that was it. I didn't think that he was ever going to be taken by ICE."
I saw Sly and the Family Stone in concert back in 1971 or 1972. They were awesome. RIP
"WE WILL REBUILD!" - no one with a rational brain.
On this 81st anniversary of #Dday honoring my father (centre) who fought fascism in Europe & who would be stunned to see it raising its ugly head here in North America so many years later.
With all the relationship drama, missed this good news! The complaint claims Bondi “has sought to compel Department of Justice lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy’ “. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...
A little emotional tonight as have started to make some recovery from about 3 years of bastard cancer. 2 things: the NHS is the reason I'm still here and they are brilliant, thank you ❤️. Secondly - recovery is slow but I will get there. Not sure how long for, however...also down to the NHS.
Because, why not?
Of course they couldn't just bring Abrego back because they were wrong.
“That's ArduPilot, launched from my basement 18 years ago. Crazy,” Chris Anderson said... “...I just wanted to make flying robots,” (Jason) Short said in a reply to Anderson. “Ardupilot powered drones just took out half the Russian strategic bomber fleet.”
Easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
NASA never should have been privatized in the first place.
Without being able to trust the numbers coming from the administration about inflation, jobs... or any financial data at all, we won't have accurate COLA numbers (if we even get COLA in 2026), and there won't be any inflation adjustment for any social programs (if we even have any social programs).
Breaking News Laura: Nobody likes you, either.
As always, a beautiful speech from Carl "Man in His Arrogance" by Carl Sagan
One thread of a creepy campaign.
Anyone with one little grey cell knows Musk is only for Musk, just as tfg is only for tfg. I will not applaud Musk: I never have and never will.
They investigate and sanction, arrest and imprison, what they don't like but goddess forgive anyone who investigates them. I am grateful the world will take steps against them. Also thankful the rest of the world recognizes not all of us are fascists.
Here's the address of every immigration court in the country along with codes to access the hearings. An informed public is what ICE doesn't want. https://www.justice.gov/eoir/find-immigration-court-and-access-internet-based-hearings
So
Well. This escalated quickly.

This is not the orange turd's travel ban. Chances are he hasn't any idea what it says. It's Stephen Miller's ban. Now, back to the Big Bastardy Bill.
Lutnick must use Velcro straps on his shoes because he is not smart enough to know how to tie his shoe laces
Checking in on the authoritarian checklist after 4 months of the regime. Let's see 🤔 1. Weaponize fear ✅ 2. Undermine institutions ✅ 3. Exploit religions ✅ 4. Target outsiders ✅ 5. Rewrite history ✅ 6. Sow division ✅ 7. Erode truth ✅ Editor adds 8. Create chaos ✅ 9. Reward apathy ⁉️
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Yes!
If Noem ever actually answers a question it would be amazing. What a worthless human.
🚨 Extreme misogyny is being normalized both online and offline. Watch tech & online culture reporter @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's chat with CCDH’s @imranahmed.bsky.social about the dangers of the manosphere ⤵️ counterhate.com/blog/incels-...
“I think his legacy is not going to be an EV or putting rockets into space. I think it’s going to be unnecessary death, disease & disability. That's not what it means to be an innovator, that's not what it means to be an American, that's not what it means to be a man" ~Scott Galloway #ElonMusk
They are not “PRO-LIFE”, and not even “Pro-Birth”! They are “Pro-suffering”, “pro-poverty”, “Pro-control”, “pro-cruelty” and “pro-hate” 💁🏽♂️
I am very familiar with this hypnotizing gaze and many times it has resulted in a homemade puppuccino. So, it works.
"It's lonely out here." A Texas federal judge joined the rising chorus of sitting US judges to take the unusual step of speaking out against attacks on the legal profession, and says he wishes more would do the same buff.ly/t3ul0AQ
A right-ward shift in politics has brought about more misogyny, spoken by not just men but women as well. The idea is no one is perfect unless you look perfect and if you don't want to look perfect, you're worthless as a person. This is so damaging.
Definitely geranium leaves and a flower that looks like hibiscus! It's lovely.
13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the
