If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
Evil courting Evil. Are we all happy that we now are a Country that destroys Humanity , Hope and Dreams to show off our Power ? And with Children 😥?
As a U.S. federal judge blocked the deportation of unaccompanied Guatemalan children, the government of Guatemala says in a statement it suggested the U.S. return its children to their home country.
The Dudes a Creep, he and trump follow the same game plan! And Bill Maher didn’t even say a peep! Birds of a feather 🤮
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
What a ridiculous person.
RFK Jr. tightens his chokehold on the nation’s public health
"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."

No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Peskov: “We are ready to resolve the problem by political and diplomatic means, but since we do not see reciprocity from Kyiv, we continue the special military operation.”
Accurate
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
Adios Cracker Barrel!
Cracker Barrel removed DEI and Pride from their website. I don't care about logos cause I don't look at them anyway, but I do care about erasing people.
Probably buying lots of stocks in that Fossil Fuel ⛽️! It’s all a Scammers dream 😡
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
DF is going easy on the dude! More like
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

“Friday Night Lights” shouldn’t mean high beams from unmarked law enforcement vehicles and low-flying helicopters at a high school football game. Leave us alone! #freedc
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Americans are used to having a functioning public health infrastructure. It hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been there and it’s prevented a lot of bad stuff from happening to individuals and to us as a population. I suspect we are going to miss it when it’s gone. Like, now.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign,” Senator Bernie Sanders writes in a guest essay.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
GOV. WHITMER on marriage equality 🏳️🌈 attacks: “Treating people equally is a Michigan value… LGBTQ+ Michiganders make our state stronger, better, and more vibrant.”
My community college is doing exactly this — offering free tuition for full-time, in-district, degree-seeking students. Enrollment is higher than it has been in years, the new students are excited, hopeful, and engaged, and our campuses are livelier than they've been since the pandemic, maybe ever.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

I absolutely have to agree 👍
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.

FYI, I made an appointment yesterday for a COVID booster on the CVS website with no trouble. It asked if I had any of the listed conditions. I just checked yes. It didn't follow up or ask for details or proof. We'll see what happens when I get there, but so far, so good.
Just like during Covid Lots of Opportunists getting rich and our Children still unsafe! Just like Professor Reich says,we need a true Come together movement,stop the insanity and save our children’s future to live in a Country of principles. USA 🇺🇸 founded on LIFE LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
Jain: We have a U.S. Attorney’s Office that is also facing a vacancy crisis. And that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, was Ed Martin. He fired more than 20 prosecutors whose only “crime” was prosecuting violent January 6 insurrectionists.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
“They’re not trying to run an agency. They’re trying to destroy it.” Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are gutting the CDC—pulling data offline, pushing junk vaccine guidelines, and forcing resignations. Americans deserve the truth, not politics with their health. #ProtectOurCare
The administration's decision to no longer recognize AFGE's union contracts is a dangerous decision at a time when VA resources are already stretched thin and facing cuts in Iowa. We must do everything in our power to protect the workers and healthcare providers who support our Veterans every day.
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people

Sure, the issue is mental health, not gun control. Specifically, the mental health of people opposing gun control.
Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Professor Reich is so courageous and honest and compassionate 🥲‼️
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
Kennedy doesn't understand that the SSRI medicine he is denigrating is what's keeping me here.
There are many people who rely on these medications to have good quality of life. We need professional doctors to quash this nonsense because I swear he is going to be sending many people back to the times when people who need any kind of mental health care will perish from pure idiocy and neglect!

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
🥲😍
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Absolutely Wonderful Must watch!!!!
Cleanse your timeline with the most wholesome Velvets cover ever. Worth watching all the way through.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
