God, you're just wrong about everything.
Happy Labor Day to all. Throwback of Kamala Harris uplifting union member speech in Detroit last year to celebrate. 💙 ✊ 💙
It's literally not. It SHOULD be humiliating to be a Bernie Supporter though. But his supporters lack that kind of emotional intelligence, introspection, or grasp of facts and reality.
We really need to be teaching the history of the labor movement. Too many working class people don't understand the fights it took to get what they take for granted, or how the GOP they vote for wants to take it all away. #Labor #Unions
Republicans HATE working people, unions, and labor. Democrats support working people, unions, and labor.
Reminder: This three day weekend was brought to you by the sweat, tears, and blood of the labor movement.
A Labor Day Weekend reminder that Trump and the GOP are destroying workers' rights and taking away all the gains that workers have fought and died for. The GOP hates and wants to use, abuse, and exploit working people.
The Republican Party is apparently the party of: - Child Labor - Hungry Children in School - Resurgent Childhood diseases - Children being murdered at School by AR-15s - Child rape - Children forced to carry the child of their rapist - Child marriage - Child molesters & groomers
Every single outrage that we're experiencing, on what seems to be a nearly DAILY, sometimes HOURLY basis, is caused by Republicans, and is the consequence of too many people not showing up to vote when it matters. And it ALWAYS matters. Democrats are not now and never have been "The Problem".
Happy Labor Day! It's a day to reflect on all the benefits we've earned through blood, sweat, & tears over all these years, thanks to the Labor Movement. And it's a day to redouble our support of those Labor Unions fighting for fair & equitable treatment even today. #UnionStrong #LaborDay
Saw this and had to share it... What arguing with any conservative is like:
1/? It would be nice if leftist would realize Black ppl, in many respects, understand white ppl better than white ppl understand themselves. We have had to do this in order to survive for 400 yrs. When we reject your leftist musings, know it's b/c we know your MAGA family/friends better than you do
Brandolini's Law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."
Clearly you never have.
Wow. You're wrong about everything!
This is a big part of the problem we’re dealing with. Velshi tells himself that if people are pissed off, he’s doing his job right. The idea that his job is informing the public doesn’t even enter into the equation.
The guy is exposing himself as a moron that nobody should ever pay any attention to ever again. Yeesh.
2016 will haunt this country for decades. You know what? Yeah we should’ve let that legislative failure of a Senator be the nominee. Maybe the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl style ass whipping he would’ve gotten would end his bullshit career once & for all.
The thing I don’t get is the same press that is being kept at a distance from an obviously not hale and hearty president isn’t screaming for answers?
Oh 👀 look Ali admits his only goal is to distract, disorient, and keep people enraged, confused, misinformed and disinformed for his ratings Honest journalism means nothing to him bc he cares about how he can grift
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Workers weren’t given the right to join unions until the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. By 1953, more than 35% of private sector workers were unionized. Less than 10% are today, thanks in large part to the anti-union efforts of Republicans. Most union members are in the public sector. /end
I -hate- having to sit through a video for something I could just read. Ugh. There are tik-tokers out there whose whole thing is just reading articles into a camera, and it makes me sad. How pathetic that is. EVERYONE needs to read more!
Perception is reality. If the media creates the perception of "do nothing Democrats," that's what people are going to think is true. Doesn't mean it IS true, but people will certainly think it so.
"I do have to say it" is such a fascinating take when, quite literally, shutting up is free.
Yesterday on Kremlin TV: Chief Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan proclaims "mission accomplished," discussing America's weakened economy and diminished stature in the world under Trump. He's "our guy," even if he's limping towards the grave right now. youtu.be/ezOyEED4j2g?...
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.
Black ppl aren’t coming out there 2 get killed 4 you so you don’t have 2 do anything but fake being shocked. We have nothing 2 fix. We did what we were ALL supposed 2 do 10 months ago. Big mama & n’em told us 2 sit our asses down & rest right now, so we are. Until they tell us 2 rise, figure it out.
“This is not simply that Donald Trump has put only one Black person in his cabinet. It’s that Donald Trump has gone out of his way to find some of the most unqualified and ill-equipped people to put in those jobs as a way to actually avoid having to put Black people in his cabinet.”
I’m so tired. I’m so very very tired I put in so much work and yet you still say this shit
You are actively helping depress enthusiasm for the Democratic Party. You're constantly bashing Dems and giving the GOP a pass. It's disgusting to witness, and even more disgusting to see your denial of your role in where we are right now.
.@velshi.com “Head in the sand”? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
Keep in mind the true meaning of Labor Day:
Now is the time for all White Democrats to have those difficult conversations with their White friends & family who still vote GOP. Stand up for your values, make your reasons clear, point out the lies, and do what you can to get more White People to vote for Democrats, or at least STOP voting GOP.
Every single outrage that we're experiencing, on what seems to be a nearly DAILY, sometimes HOURLY basis, is caused by Republicans, and is the consequence of too many people not showing up to vote when it matters. And it ALWAYS matters. Democrats are not now and never have been "The Problem".
It's not. It's proven literally every single day. And election. Horseshoe theory is real, and it's becoming a goddamned circle. (see Tulsi Gabbard)
Republicans would rather everyone suffer, including themselves, than have minorities, women, and children be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
I worry about him becoming some sort of sainted martyr.
When these endlessly outraged Dem-bashing "progressive" white men are pressed on what they think Democrats should be doing now that they're not already doing, the answer seems to boil down to "performative outrage", "rallies", and "symbolic gestures". It's infuriating. It's so immature & unhelpful.
Happy Labor Day! It's a day to reflect on all the benefits we've earned through blood, sweat, & tears over all these years, thanks to the Labor Movement. And it's a day to redouble our support of those Labor Unions fighting for fair & equitable treatment even today. #UnionStrong #LaborDay
Every time Bernie, Berners, & leftists talk about "The Working Class", I can't help but notice there's always a silent, implied "White" in there. They're only talking about the "White Working Class". They don't seem to acknowledge that much of the "Working Class" isn't White. Labor Day is for ALL.
They already HAVE done more for the people than anyone like Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein have ever done. You're the misinformed person spreading lies & disinformation here. Democrats have been moving Left for DECADES and are the POLAR OPPOSITE of the GOP in most ways. Grow up and get a clue.
But all Democrats have ever done to Republican Voters is make healthcare more accessible & affordable, make it easier to vote, ensure food & drugs are safe, and air & water are clean, education is free, and that we can retire with dignity. For this, they hate us. (3/3)
What Republicans have done to Americans is well documented... taking away regulations that protect people (resulting in unnecessary deaths for profit), attacking minorities, making it harder to vote, impoverishing people, gutting education, demonizing LGBT people, etc. (2/3)
🧵The visceral hatred so many GOP Voters have for Democrats have always puzzled me. I mean, what horrible thing did Democrats ever do to hurt them, ever? Not a damn thing, that's what. Meanwhile, Republicans ACTIVELY go around hurting people. (1/3)
It's if the people who voted for Stein voted for Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton would have one. Period. No Trump. No Muslim ban, no fumbling the covid response, half a million people would still be alive. In 2024, it was more about you idiots staying home instead of saving us from Trump.

It's not absurd. They've been doing things for the people for most of their lives. Your ignorance of their actions, policies, and accomplishments is a YOU problem, and your misinformation is leading you to make really bad decisions. Like wasting your vote on a Russian Op & grifting fraud like Stein
Purity politics = regressive politics Pragmatic politics = progressive politics
Republicans HATE working people, unions, and labor. Democrats support working people, unions, and labor.
Reminder: This three day weekend was brought to you by the sweat, tears, and blood of the labor movement.
The unmitigated gall of these people to tell a Black woman, whose ancestral DNA is encoded to "create space for other people's suffering". 92% of us voted in the best interest of ourselves and others, including Gaza. And yet, they have the nerve to say shit like this to us?
You notice they NEVER interview the Black women or women (in general) Kamala or Hilary OG supporters? They keep bringing the podbros, Bernie bros, and the Bill Clinton era Dem old farts to speak.
"Both parties are the same," they said.
I almost quoted them but I don’t want to give them the engagement. Guys, chances are these damn resist accts are fucking troll farm accts. I doubt this is even a real person
Jesus Fuck. The self importance. The tone deafness. The THEATRICS.
I'm more depressed about American journalism now. I heard no respect for the audience, no mention of how media has eroded the public trust and how to rebuild it. Dismissive, arrogant, hours replying to say "I don't care what you think, if I make you mad I've done my job." I can't respect this.
Brandolini's Law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."
You are in denial. You absolutely played a role in getting Trump elected.
Velshi you can block me all you want, but your "critique of Biden" you literally were faulting his administration for getting the "border" wrong like previous administration. But as I do recall it was Trump's meddling in a "Bipartisan" effort that caused the pain point of failure. So, go on ahead
Again, an astonishing degree of failure on the part of the media. This is a senior ABC reporter giving Wes Moore a hard time about whether or not he had a bronze star (he did). This at a time when the country is on fire with the proverbial barbarians are inside the city ransacking it.
And I remember how quick Ali was on pointing out the failure of Biden in the debate, while not calling out all the lies of Trump.
I am so tired of people who are not Black using the late American hero, Rep. John Lewis's words as a cudgel against his own party. If Ali wants to help, he should be reporting on the daily outrage of the regime that holds power instead of normalizing it and laying blame w/the minority party.
I'm wearing that block as a badge of mofo honor. Like, mass media really doesn't think they played a role in Trumpism. All the Ali to Tapper to even Joy can eat the biggest of 🍆s.
HEAR, HEAR!!! They aren’t going to listen but it will help make more of the masses know they’re being manipulated & to seek unbiased sources instead of the ones owned by the already wealthy ppl who benefit from the Big Ugly Bill.
good point
This is the kind of disingenuous, both sides garbage that makes Democrats disgusted with the media Not only does Wes Moore HAVE a Bronze Star-whereas Trump dodged military service and regularly mocks veterans The issue is how Trump is shredding the Constitution and our economy-not this gotcha crap
I live here, and Jeffries didn't endorse DeBlasio or Adams either, and no one cared. It's important for people to know that this isn't an aberration. It's why I'm tired of folks pretending like it's somehow 'different.' It's not.
The press should hound Trump about his medical condition like they hounded Obama for his birth certificate.
1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.
As union membership goes down, more wealth gets transferred up to the top 1%, taking it from the middle class and the poor.
Sir, you were literally one of the quickest to blame the failing of the Bipartisan border bill on the Biden Administration, that even McConnell was willing to admit it was Trump's fault. Every failure that Trump had a hand in, you associated immediately to the Biden Administration.
If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.
Labor Day is about recognizing the people who work toward creating a better America. This firefighter was working to protect the only country he can remember living in and was taken off the fire line, away from the duty he was performing to be put in a cell for not having been born here. #resist
Representation matters. Black women are the foundation of the Democratic Party. I am ready to carry my experience, leadership and the legacy of those before me to the U.S. Senate.
MSNBC has made Trump the center of the universe, giving him endless oxygen while Democratic wins barely get a mention. That doesn’t build confidence, it feeds despair.
Enthusiasm grows when voters see a party fighting and winning. (And Democrats are doing both- fighting back on redistricting attacks and special election wins). Constant gloom, both sides coverage, and magnified Dem drama don’t inspire turnout — they smother it.
This story doesn't include "Trump" in the headline and doesn't mention his name until eight paragraphs in (and only once more after that.) There's not a single comment from unions or workers impacted by this downturn. And the story pushes hard on the idea that it'll all change in the winter.
This is true. Ali Velshi is soft. 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Texas would never While the Republicans here give lip service to personal choice when it comes to not getting a vaccine shot, I cannot see a scenario where they would extend that personal choice to also include getting a vaccine shot
We need every Dem governor to follow suit immediately.
I'm aware. You should be telling the other guy.
I am once again begging the us press to do their jobs. Just pretend donald is biden and treat him the same way you treated Hillary.
Ali Velshi, whose reporting helped Republicans get power, accuses the former DNC chair of depressing turnout for Dems. Meanwhile, Dems are overperforming by an average of 16 points in special elections, and have led the generic matchup polls for months. All while Ali continues to work for the GOP.
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
USA Today editorial: "They should either be training or living their lives at home, prepared for whatever serious deployment lies ahead. They shouldn’t be spreading mulch at Trump's whim. "The job of the Guard is not to make up for an administration’s stupidity." www.yahoo.com/news/article...
They don’t want to.
Trump's grossly inept "diplomacy" has crystalized a massive anti-American alliance including Russia, China and India, which former US allies now are considering joining. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/sco-...
Now they're demanding that Democrats save them from the government they thought they could live with in November.
Look at this stupid shit:
SNAP was made permanent nearly 60 years ago today and it's helped millions of families put food on the table. But Republicans would rather see billionaires put more money in the bank—so they gutted SNAP to fund tax cuts they don’t need. They're betraying middle-class Americans.
