Noem has an inflated ego.
Sadly, Democrats got sucked into the greed. I was there. But racism and sexism are the other legs of the Republican stool. Ds went a long way into recovery electing Obama, almost electing Clinton, electing Biden, and almost electing Harris. Meanwhile…Rs got only worse on all three measures.
Together with the labor movement of Maine, together with Bernie Sanders — We will defeat the oligarchy, and we will defeat Susan Collins.
Lora Webb Nichols’s photographs of boom and bust in her small Wyoming town might be the largest photographic record of the era and region.

RFK jr wants to throw millions of Americans into his anti-science cult volcano. We give him our collective middle finger instead.
Every time RFK jr speaks the word "science", he must be asked to recite a detailed summary of the scientific method. He won't be able to answer.
BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY FORMING IN MAINE AGAINST SUSAN COLLINS.
Every resident of Maine showed up for the guy running to unseat Susan Collins
“The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. Trump that U.S. involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between India and Pakistan.”
NYT reports TRUMP & MODI had a falling out because Modi wouldn’t back Trump’s lie that he brokered the India-Pakistan ceasefire — a lie 🇺🇸 media has let him get away with with even as India’s media has openly mocked him for it. Video: x.com/thetnholler/...
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Unfettered capitalism aims to keep wages as low as possible. And it wants costs as high as possible. That’s how it keeps US fettered.

What did you think of the answer, Jay?
Did he ask again?
Good question. That he doesn't answer.

Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!

Thank you on this labor day!!

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Trump killed half a million of US and nobody squeaked. He kill millions this time.
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
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.
Betcha Nate lost last night.
Went to look at how people were responding to Nate Silver's "blueskyism" post, and I gotta tell you, a very large number of people on X seem to think that Bluesky runs the Democratic Party. And have I got news for them...
Hate him, fear him, but don’t envy Trump. He’s a world class loser and a despicable wretch. He’s a miserable guy who’s lived a miserable life, trying desperately to outrun the laws of nature and society. But he can’t outrun his miserable self. Only those as miserable as Trump love him: Republicans.
Betting Nate lost at the table last night.
blueskyism is when you correctly diagnose Nate Silver's crippling gambling addiction
Nate Silver, posting in the Social Network owned by the man that did the Sieg Heil salute, twice, in Trump's inauguration, and the home of "Mecha Hitler", thinks Bluesky is too far left.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
I love this guy
White House releases new photo of Trump golfing today Your move, shitlibs
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Trump killed half a million of US and nobody squeaked. He kill millions this time.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
Republicans see kids as roadkill on the highway to Hell that they are driving down.
I don’t know what did or didn’t happen to Trump, but what I do know is the country has the right to know the truth.
If the police can use facial recognition, why can't the people. Unmask them. AI is unmasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it? www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

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
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
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Unfettered capitalism aims to keep wages as low as possible. And it wants costs as high as possible. That’s how it keeps US fettered.
I was never in a union, but I’ve always thanked unions for the enormous benefits I’ve enjoyed, that they courageously won for us all.
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Ditto.
I’m old enough to remember Reich’s warnings. And remember that nobody listened because greed ran the nineties—in housing, technology, and finance. Greed became need; need became greed. And small town and inner city—wage worker — America were both left in the dust.
Trump’s never met empathy. Or empathy’s shadow. Empathetic people can tell a joke on themselves. Trump can’t tell a real joke, much less one on himself. His ego is too fragile. Like Trump, Republicans can smirk, sneer, snigger, scoff, simper, and cackle. They just can’t laugh with-—only at.

All the characteristics include reason, conscience, and compassion.
Remember Nate Silver refuses to use Bluesky and says you'd have to pay him over a million dollars to use it, so I'm going to suggest he not only doesn't know what "normal" people like, he doesn't even know what Bluesky is.... Signal and the noise guy is full of noise once again.
Happy Labor Day!! Below is one of my favorite political cartoons from the early labor movement. It's from the Pullman Car strike of 1984 and features a representation of the Pullman Palace Car Company as a wealthy man pressing a worker between two grinding stones labeled "low wages" and "high rent."
This cartoon is from 2006 but is still relevant today, 19 years later.

It’s a frog boil. Filthy rich Republicans put America in the pot decades ago and have been stirring it ever since—encouraging the dumbest of US to elect the dumbest among them.
Republicans see kids as roadkill on the highway to hell they are driving down.
Republicans have lived in a dream trance since WWII, believing America’s special and superior and ignoring any facts, truth, or reality that suggests otherwise.
The nineties lit the firestorm of greed. Need be damned. Red state America decayed into backwaters of despair, ignorance, resentment, and fear. Today they are blood and meat to filthy billionaires who need dumb, numb voters.

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve

Blocks and blocks of Chicagoans marching against Trump’s fascism.
This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
