This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
DR. MUSTAFA: “So we’re not allowed to film what’s going on, but 🇮🇱 is allowed to kill these children? That’s the rules we’re playing by? — Yes, I felt my life was in danger, but I’m not going to center myself on this. We have to center those kids in Gaza.”
America; a country where firearms in the hands of criminals, psychos, terrorists & wife beaters is more important than the lives of its children.
truly baffling that a culture obsessed with machismo and swimming in semi-automatics would struggle with gun violence
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
These are the kinds of false narratives and inciteful rhetoric that leads to pogroms and violence against the trans community. It builds support for policies to eradicate us from society, an explicit goal they are saying outright. This is the exact process that leads to genocidal violence.
Just like the Nazis and every genocidal regime since, they frame their actions as self defense. By manufacturing the threat of trans people and pushing that narrative, it excuses them in their minds from the violence they perpetrate against our community. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusat...
This is exactly what they're doing with trans people right now.
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end
Meanwhile: "Trump orders Hegseth to form National Guard unit in each state to combat crime, protests" This has nothing to do with "crime" or "protests" other than disappearing, killing, and imprisoning Trump's political detractors. America is a fascist autocracy. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
C’mon brain worm, your time to shine!
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
After the Parkland school shooting in his first term, he made a big deal of bringing families to the White House, summoned key politicians and the NRA, sat around the table and advocated universal background checks and age limits on gun purchases, lectured the NRA, then went TACO, and did nothing

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
What a time to be alive.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
Except they want to get rid of all the unproductive seniors and disabled, not the new blood for the fields.
Same with Covid. Our top-heavy population has been a recognized problem for a long time now. Maybe someone decided to do something drastic about it.
CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
They are spending taxpayer money to have police officers ensure no one paints a rainbow honoring murder victims on the street. That's money you got up every morning and worked to make. Money that could be benefitting you and your loved ones. Are y'all tired yet?
Some Florida cop is gonna get paid massive overtime to sit on a lawn chair and play Candy Crush day and night just to make sure no one re-paints the rainbow crosswalk honoring people who were murdered by a Republican-enabled terrorist bsky.app/profile/sun-...
TIMES OF ISRAEL confirms Israel bombed a retrieval team at Nasser Hospital live on air after an initial strike killed multiple journalists. FOREIGN PRESS ASSOCIATION: “We demand an immediate explanation. This must be a watershed moment.” The video: www.instagram.com/reel/DNx2g8J...
I think it's pretty clear what the target was
History's worst tyrants established "special" military units to supress civilian opponents - and all justified it on the basis of asserting "law and order". Trump National Guard deployments and inevitable domestic US Military deployments are a textbook example of this tyrannical authoritarianism.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Seeking petty revenge by threatening to re-investigate a notorious revenge plot? Trump's revenge tour is careening toward its logical extreme, wherein retribution covers every inch of his presidency, no matter the irony.
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Trump is going full fascist early because he is weak and unhealthy. I think his inner circle realizes this which is why they're trying to get as much down quickly and go full authoritarian for Vance to have as much power as possible.

FEMA is now a slush fund for a pedophile. Fuck you MAGA
How MAGA has Mainstreamed White Nationalism and Embraced Domestic Terror White supremacists, neo-Nazis, and White Christian Nationalists have infiltrated the Trump Administration, federal government, and law enforcement as MAGA marches towards fascism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
A reporter* just asserted as a fact that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "an MS-13 gangbanger" and a "human trafficker" which seems sort of slander-y? * probably some troll from a right-wing website
Was just texting with a small biz owner in DC losing thousands bc workers are now terrified to come into the city due to ICE racial profiling and tourists are afraid to visit a city patrolled by heavily armed, anonymous men. This is only good for pro-authoritarian white supremacists like Miller
On top of all his other bullshit, did y'all catch a Fox talking head saying that higher prices are ok if it means better wages? The opposite of what they say about minimum wage laws/increases. I'd call that a huge change in their belief system, if conservatives actually had any consistent beliefs.
16-year-olds can operate machinery that would require an adult in any other industry. There are already 500,000 children employed in the US' agriculture sector, exposed to pesticides, working around heavy machinery, suffering heat injuries, etc. Do you need more of that?
The agriculture sector specifically has exemptions to many labour laws. You can be hired at age 12, no restrictions on hours worked other than it can't disrupt school, no fall protections required for kids working 6' or more off the ground...
Trump is the only man who could forget the alphabet and still claim he invented it.
Hi, I'm Andrew Cuomo. I'm sorry I groped your mom and killed your grandma, but if you give me a fifteenth chance, I promise to throw you out of your apartment.

Groceries are up, elderly are losing healthcare, but at least a dildo in a suit can make his office look like a cheap brothel.
we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage
Eunice Foote conducted an experiment showing that atmospheric CO2 traps heat. OTD in 1856, she listened to a man (John Henry of the Smithsonian) present her results to the American Acad. for the Advancement of Science. Henry downplayed the significance of Foote’s finding. #HistSTM #WomeninSTEM 🧪🌎
"I'm Donald Trump's 27th sexual assault victim... Jeffrey Epstein walked me into his office to be sexually assaulted by him." — Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Stacey Williams in February 2025
I guarantee you that none of the men who paid for sex with the girls Maxwell and Epstein trafficked were roofers looking for work at a Home Depot
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
Hey mainstream media colleagues: you cannot be deported to a country you are not from. That’s kidnapping and trafficking. Call it that. You are lying if you say otherwise.
I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but “the president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes him” is in fact very alarming
Democratic governors and leaders, fight while you can, as hard as you can. Trump and MAGA are going full fascist. They're coming after all of us, including you. You can't make "deals" with fascists. You have to FIGHT them. FIGHT, finally, please.
🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN Alabama's state Senate map for violating VRA sec 2 by diluting Black voting power in Montgomery. Alabama must now draw a new compliant map. Status conference is set for Aug. 28 to facilitate remedial proceedings. www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.
“Trump’s DOJ said…” Shut the fuck up. Who cares what they said. They’re fucking criminals. They lie.
If you find yourself repeating fascist threats and lies and bluster, you are only helping them. “They’re going to deport Kilmar to Uganda on Monday.” Shut the fuck up. No they’re not. They want you to think they’re invincible monsters. They’re not. They’re decaying pedophiles.
Oh, no doubt about it.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
What's going to happen when iCE kidnaps soccer players from African and South American nations competing at the World Cup simply because ICE has a habit of profiling. Simply put, if the teams decide to go for a walk in between games, will they be picked up? Mark my words, this will be a reality.
👇👇
Modern American fascism will manifest as masked federal thugs taking people to concentration camps viewed through footage on your phone that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one being brutalized and taken away.
BREAKING: We're suing to challenge Florida's authority to detain people at "Alligator Alcatraz." It is unprecedented and illegal for a state to go around federal laws to operate its own immigration jail.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo
NEW: Oregon and Pennsylvania are the latest to reject the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to acquire states’ private voter data, according to letters obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
FACTS: Ghislaine Maxwell was indicted twice for lying under oath.
Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Florida Republicans made a point of destroying an LGBT memorial because they agree with murdering people for not being heterosexual. Simple as that.
They aren’t trying to erase history because they’re embarrassed by it. They’re trying to erase history because it’s their current playbook.
Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.
This isn’t education, it’s indoctrination. The Trump administration gutted PBS and NPR not to save money, but to control the narrative. In their place, PragerU is moving into more classrooms. Already in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Idaho schools.
DOJ demanding all trans care info of minors. Addresses, doctors’ notes, texts, medical records. This is some Orwellian shit. The tiniest % of the demographic is being used as a lightning rod for the hatred of Republicans. Scary time to be a pediatrician in America.
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he's got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he's not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He's rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it. But Joe Biden, huh.
Pam Bondi swore this would never happen.
I expect major movement in Texas tomorrow. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Donald Trump is wandering around The People’s House gift shop. Because checking on how well his Chinese hats are selling seems like a priority. 🙄
